Stonyridge Larose 2008

Situated on Waiheke Island, off the coast of Auckland, Stonyridge Vineyard specializes in super-premium Bordeaux blends, with Larose being a standout. The 2008 vintage reveals its richness as it warms to room temperature, boasting notes of blackberry, currant, mint, vanilla, and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is vibrant, featuring pronounced yet appealing bell pepper, slightly tart red berries, and well-integrated tannins in the finish. A touch of mild saline mineral notes lingers on the closing notes.
