Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon
75cl * 14.0% ABV * Marlborough, New Zealand
Feeling frustrated that he could only work with a limited number of grape varieties in Switzerland's cool climate, Hans Herzog left his 500-year-old family winery for New Zealand, where he planted everything from Arneis to Zweigelt. Vibrant and juicy, this Italian varietal shows sappy raspberry fruit alongside some grippy tannin. Deliciously drinkable already, it also has the potential for serious cellaring. Drink to 2026+.
