This wine has dark berry and plum characters with a hint of anise and spice. The palate is fruit focused yet nicely balanced with fine grained tannins.
Cawte’s Cave is the cave in the rock at Rock Ferry, a landmark property and historical crossing point on the Wairau River in Marlborough New Zealand. The cave is named after an early gold miner who, story has it, would sleep off the effects of his recent imbibing before attempting the river crossing.
The grapes for this Cawte’s Cave wine are farmed organically and represent the pure natural taste of the place from where they are grown.
The fruit is de-stemmed into open top French cuves where it cold soaks for a week before it spontaneously ferments lasting about three weeks. It is then pressed off into a mixture of seasoned and new (20%) French oak, where it matures for 14 months before bottling.
5 Stars & 94 Point Rated Wine Orbit Review
This is impressively fruited and fragrant on the nose showing spiced cherry, plum, cedar and smoked game characters with a touch of dark mushroom complexity. The palate is concentrated and plush, and delivers excellent fruit weight and intensity, brilliantly framed by silky tannins. The wine is generous and flavoursome, yet elegantly styled and structured, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2020. Certified organic.
