Puriri Hills Harmonie Du Soir, Vintage 2019
THE REVIEWS
95 Points “A rich and flavorful wine that shows hints of wood in the nose and palate as well as a solid core of fruit with currants, cedar and wet earth. Bright and vivid. Medium-firm tannins that are polished and persistent. Flavorful finish. A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, carmenere and malbec. Give this a year or two to come together more.” - James Suckling November 2023
5 Stars “This regional classic is a reserve version of the Estate label. Estate-grown at Clevedon, in South Auckland, it is blended from varying proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, and typically matured for two years in French oak barriques (65 per cent new in 2019). The deeply coloured 2019 vintage (5*) is a blend of Merlot (45 per cent), Cabernet Franc (42 per cent), Carménère (7 per cent) and Malbec (6 per cent). A classy, mouthfilling red, it has very rich, ripe blackcurrant, red berry and spice flavours, nutty and leathery notes adding complexity, supple tannins and a very harmonious finish. Already delicious, it's a drink now or cellaring proposition..” - Michael Cooper August 2023
