“Medium-bodied wine from an excellent vintage with dried herbs, cherry, blackberry and chocolate/mocha threaded with vinous flavours. Accessible now but with good cellaring potential. A complex wine. Drink 2024 to 2035.” – Bob Campbell MW
Tasting Note: Bordering the old Waiheke Air Strip this vineyard produces world-class Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot. Planted when their children were barely walking, John and Paul Dunleavy’s vines have matured over two decades and, like their children, bring their own unique character to this wine. Aged in barrels for 10 months, but made in a forward, fruit driven style to be enjoyed in youth, The Strip will continue to improve over time with careful cellaring. 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc.
Alcohol: 13.5%
Variety: Merlot blend
Region: Waiheke Island, New Zealand
