A rarity as far as availability as well as style from New Zealand. You won’t find many producers growing Bordeaux varietals. Stonyridge’s Stephen White has been doing it since 1985, with his 1987 Larose considered by some as the best red ever from New Zealand. The 2004 Larose is a very Left Bank inspired wine... plum, graphite, limestone, funky dirt, tomato leaf, tobacco, coffee and dark chocolate, with an authentic feel.

Latour of New Zealand. Well so they claimed because it won a blind tasting competition against a Latour. Well balanced Pauillac style, not as big as the Californian cab blends, well done!
