Our Winemakers Reserve blend is widely regarded as one of New Zealand's finest red wines with a pedigree that stretches back to 1990. Utilising the softness and generosity of Merlot as a base, this classic Bordeaux inspired blend is a signature wine of the Esk Valley stable. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone and the addition of Malbec adds spice and colour.

This wine is a blend of grapes grown in the stony soils of the Gimblett Gravels. Intensive viticultural practises such as shoot thinning, leaf plucking and bunch thinning were all employed over the course of the growing season. Perfectly ripened fruit was fermented in custom concrete fermenters and hand plunged which produces our signature dense yet silkily structured style of red wine.
