The Island Blend is a wonderfully refined, reserved, claret-style wine that combines freshness and complexity It is made from fruit from Waiheke Island and the neighbouring Ponui island - hence the name It has aromas of blackberry, woodsmoke, black tea and a touch of dried herbs The medium-bodied palate is full of red berry fruits, with black olive and graphite, and a light hint of oak and pepper spice on the finish
