Estate

Waiheke Island Tempranillo

The Obsidian Estate Tempranillo hails from the stunning island region of Waiheke Island, where vineyards are caressed by the coastal breezes and sun-kissed slopes. This beautiful red wine embodies a full body that envelops the palate with rich, velvety textures. The acidity is pronounced, offering a lively and invigorating sensation, while the fruit intensity shines through with its prominent notes of dark berries and subtle hints of spice. The tannins are notable, providing a structured framework that enhances the wine's depth and complexity. A dry finish completes this Tempranillo, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication.

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
