InformationA blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Malbec, and 5% Cabernet Franc, all Estate grown, given a cold soak and indigenous yeast fermented to 13.0% alc., and aged 12 months in seasoned French oak barrels. Full, very dark, near impenetrable black-red colour with youthful purple hues on the rim. The nose is gently full and softly concentrated with youthful primary aromas of ripe black-berried fruits and spicy black plums, unfolding fragrant herbs, camphor and cedary oak elements with aeration. Medium-bodied, gently rich and sweet flavours of black berries and spiced black plums feature on the palate and reveal spice, herb and cedary oak detail and interest. Food match: Serve with lamb, beef, and venison casseroles, and with semi-hard cheeses over the next 4-5 years.
About Moana Park Estate
Our location in Puketapu, Hawkes Bay, is the home of Moana Park Estate. Initially the heart of a large sheep station, the original woolshed is still on site which we now use as our winery. Freshly picked onsite or from one of our local vineyards, our fruit go through their fermentation, blending & aging process here. We have a small bottling plant onsite where we produce small runs of wine when required. Our vines were first planted back in 1981 and are still part of the Moana landscape, while there has been ongoing growth in Hawke’s Bay, expansion has never come at the cost of quality. Moana Park Estate is proud to be Vegan, our wines have been certified by New Zealand Vegan Society to include plant based alternatives to animal products. Often during the ‘fining’ stage of the process of wine making, animal proteins such as egg whites, fish or milk are included to refine tiny particles unable to be captured by filtration. As an alternative to this, we use pea protein as our fining agent to clarify and stabilise the wine. At Moana Park, operating as a socially responsible business are core values we hold to encourage more sustainable process practices.
