Velvet

Waiheke Island Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Malbec

The Mudbrick Velvet is an exquisite red blend hailing from the picturesque Waiheke Island. This harmonious combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec grapes creates a luxurious and velvety texture that caresses the palate. The wine showcases a deep red color that hints at the rich and robust flavors within. This wine offers a medium to full body, with a balanced acidity that lifts the fruit flavors to the forefront. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering a delightful fusion of ripe berries and plums. The tannins are notable, providing structure without overpowering, and the wine finishes off-dry, leaving a lingering, satisfying finish. Mudbrick Velvet is a true gem from the unique wine-growing region of Waiheke Island.

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.
