Red Wire Hawkes Bay 2007

The innovative Zork® closure was selected to complement the Red Wire experience ... unwinding the Zork® top results in something akin to a 'red wire'. Be sure to push it all the way back in when using to re-close the bottle!

Tasting Notes

• Tasting Notes

A great, well structured red with juicy berryfruit and plum, underlined with spicey oak. Sweet fruit and firm but supple tannins make this wine a worthy accompaniment to many occasions.  This wine is lightly oaked and blended from Hawkes Bay Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The tannins are fine and supple and make this an approachable red blend with elegance. Perfect with grilled meats, pizza and pasta dishes.
