Brick Bay 'Martello Rock' red blend 2020, Matakana, Auckland
Martello Rock has always been an immediately approachable style with core ripe red berry and plum fruit scents, baking spices of barrel, violets and chocolate with a baked clay earthy quality. This example reflects those ideas along with aromas of boysenberry, plum and five spice. Taut, youthful and complex with salivating tannins and acid line, a core of red fruit flavours and baking spices of oak, a touch of smoke and palate fruit sweetness. Delicious, fresh, youthful and ready, this wine will also cellar well through 2025 offering excellent drinking from then through mid-2035.
