Two outstanding New Zealand wines, showcasing the best of Auckland and Waiheke Island.

Jasper Ridge Syrah, Waiheke Island - a refined, single-vineyard wine that embodies the elegance of the Northern Rhône style. It offers aromas of black cherry, plum, and raspberry, complemented by notes of thyme, clove, and roasted nuts. On the palate, it presents succulent fruit flavours with savoury nuances, supported by a silky texture and fine-grained tannins, leading to a persistent and refined finish.

Puriri Hills ' Mokoroa' - a refined red blend from Clevedon, crafted by Puriri Hills, a boutique winery known for its Bordeaux-inspired wines. The 2022 vintage comprises 84% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, resulting in a wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of these varietals.

On the nose, Mokoroa presents aromas of ripe red berries, earthy undertones, and subtle spice, reminiscent of classic Bordeaux wines. The palate is medium-bodied, offering a harmonious balance of fresh fruit flavors and structured tannins, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
