Esk Valley The Terraces is an exquisite New Zealand artisanal wine. Its bold, complex palate features rich flavours of dark fruits and spice, with an earthy undertone. Aged in French oak barrels, it lends itself to a robust structure, deep tones, and velvet-smooth finish. Exclusively produced in Hawkes Bay from terraced vineyards, its variety includes Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, creating a unique, multi-layered blend. Highly limited in quantity due to hand harvesting, it projects an air of refined exclusivity. Savouring this wine is akin to experiencing a journey through a treasure trove of taste and sophistication.

Tasting Notes

This is a handcrafted wine with much effort made to produce a wine that is a true expression of its site. The wine is deeply coloured and full of primary black fruits, including cherry and blackberry. As a young wine, French oak notes complement the fruit, but with time, complexity and vineyard nuances will predominate
