2023 Cuvar Guardians Collection Cabernet Merlot Malbec, Hawke’s Bay

In Appearance : Deep ruby red with a vibrant purple hue
On the Nose : Rich aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and hints of cedar from oak ageing.
On the Palate : Full-bodied and structured with velvety tannins and flavours of ripe black fruits interwoven with layers of spice reminiscent of cinnamon and fruit cake.

The oak influence is evident but well-integrated, providing a luxurious mouthfeel and contributed to flavours of toasted oak and espresso. The finish is long and lingering, with a harmonious balance between fruit, oak and savoury elements that leave a lasting impression.
