Stormwood 'Meritage' 2021, Waiheke Island, Auckland

A complete wine with an enticing bouquet of red and black fruits, fresh and baked, plenty of barrel spices and smoky wood the a dry stony soil suggestion. Full-bodied, fruity and dry, a classic style with a core of fruit, tobacco and blackberry, roasted plums and pencil lead, some bacon oak and vanilla, violet and clove. Ageing nice with best drinking from day of purchase through 2030+
