Trophy and Gold Medal, Best Alternative Red Variety,
Air New Zealand Wine Awards, 2008
Blue Gold, Sydney International Wine Competition 2008
4 Stars, Winestate magazine Hawkes Bay Regional Tasting, June/July 2008
"Ahh the flamboyance and drama of the Spanish. Opaque colour, no doubting the pedigree here, very bright and full of life. Rich dark plum then a unique linseed and warm straw note. A beautiful sweet fruited wine that then becomes all bones and knuckles on the finish, fine, gravely, serious not heavy. Worth a date and the flamenco!"
Judges' citation, Air New Zealand Wine Awards, November 2008.
"A fascinating bouquet exhibiting blackberry, game and dried herb notes with a succulent mouthfeel and a firm finish."
Judges, Air New Zealand Wine Awards, November 2008.
"Warm, savoury and dense. Full, purple-flushed colour, with sweet oak aromas, a plump mid-palate of dark, blackberryish fruit, fine-grained tannins, and excellent texture and harmony.
One judge rated it 5 Stars."
