Priced between the Nest and Raptor ranges, fruit for this wine comes mainly from the loam-rich Talon Vineyard (all the wines and vineyards pay tribute to the threatened Kārearea or New Zealand falcon). It's juicy and elegant, with pungent blackcurrant leaf, nettle and mineral notes and a ripe melon and passion fruit finish.
