Straw coloured with green hues. Ripe tropical fruit with nectarine and grapefruit. Subtle spicy oak with hints of cinnamon, vanilla and cream. Persistent citrus and ripe tropical fruit flavours. Smooth, creamy textured palate with almond and pineapple.

Grapes sourced from a portion of the vineyard known to produce fruit with exceptional ripeness and flavour were gently pressed. Only the free-run juice and lightly pressed portions were used. The juice was fermented dry before undergoing a full secondary, malolactic fermentation and then oak aged on lees for 10 months to develop soft mouthfeel and richness.

Stables Reserve offers a sense of history with its name taken from the original Stables where it all started in the heart of the Hawke’s Bay. Gentle in style, the Stables range evokes life’s simple pleasures – warmth, hospitality and conversation.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with chicken, turkey, vegetable terrines or dishes with creamy sauces.
