86/100 45

Rimu Grove’s flagship wine is a couple of steps up from the regular Bronte label with greater fruit concentration that handles a generous oak influence much better. It’s a complex mix of sweet fruit and savoury characters - very attractive.

Tasted: Mar 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $45 (~USD $38)
