Menage

2010 Waiheke Island Cabernet Merlot Cabernet Franc

Soho Wine Co. Menage is a captivating red wine that showcases the exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, all hailing from the picturesque Waiheke Island. The 2010 vintage boasts an inviting aroma that hints at dark fruits, complemented by subtle layers of spice and oak. On the palate, this wine reveals a medium body that provides a smooth and harmonious mouthfeel, while its vibrant acidity lifts the flavors beautifully, imparting a refreshing quality. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of blackcurrant and raspberry shining through, supported by delicate tannins that offer a balanced structure without overwhelming the senses. This wine is expertly crafted to be dry yet approachable, making it a delightful companion to a variety of dishes or a perfect choice for leisurely sipping on its own.

New Zealand
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.
