Slow tourism & restaurant markets have brought about this “Sensational” $19.99 CLEARANCE! Obsidian Premium Estate Montepulciano crafted with fruit grown on the highest point of their Waiheke Island Vineyards overlooking the sea… very similar to the topography and climate of Montepulciano’s home in Italy. Close your eyes, take a sip, roll it around your palate and swallow… it’s unmistakably Montepulciano with all its inherent opulence and charm. You could easily imagine you’re there savouring Montepulciano at its spiritual home. Low yielding handpicked fruit traditionally macerated on skins and aged in a mix of American & French barriques for 10-months to tame the typically opulent Montepulciano flavours. 100% charm and drinkability. 5-years old and superb drinking, with 5-years drinking ahead.

Lavish blackberry, raspberry and plum fruits, mixed spice, subtle toast and a hint of anise.

Beautifully creamy, lavish palate of black/red fruits and spices… all the charm you expect from quality Montepulciano. Mouthcoating fine tannins and balanced acidity enhance palate length and freshness… hints of toast, liquorice and savoury spice permeate the opulent, slightly rustic finish. Enjoy with pizza, pasta and spiced pork. Save a glass or two for after dinner.
