Firm and full, with a subtle vanilla sweetness giving a rich mouth feel. The palate is filled with dark cherry fruit, red currents and chocolate with the soft tannins provide a lingering finish.

Nineteen crimes turned convicts into colonists. Upon conviction British rogues guilty of a least one of the 19 crimes were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built.

Summer berries in a glass. Perfect for picnics, brunches, parties and those times where you don't want to open a full bottle. Mini Party Packs are just the thing for entertaining.

A medium bodied red wine, silky texture and fine tannins. The palate is full of red fruits, plum and black cherry.

A robust and characterful red with generous, juicy, dark berry fruit, lifted violet floral notes and exotic spice typical of this block. The palate is full bodied with good mid palate richness, and fine-grained, ripe tannins drawing out the finish. While approachable now, this wine will age positively for at least 15 years if well cellared.

Red cherry, plum and spice, fruity and smooth. Great with red meats.

A blend of our best Hawkes Bay red wine and fruit juices: mandarin, apple and orange zest.
