2013 Regent of Tantallon Hawkes Bay Merlot Cabernet

Wine Features

This Regent of Tantallon is a testament to The Wine Portfolio’s ability and desire to offer super premium red wine that is in peak form. Long term aging under anaerobic conditions at critically controlled temperatures has created a wine that shows aromatic complexity combined with the body and silkiness that can only come with careful cellaring.

This barrel aged wine shows a rich bouquet of coffee, bay leaf, black olive and juniper berry. The palate displays great balance, silky tannins around a core of dark.
