Premium New Zealand made wine from Italian grapes, including Sangiovese and Dolcetto - Heron's Flight Matakana
Heron's Flight is the only vineyard in New Zealand specialising solely in Italian grapes.
The grape variety Sangiovese means 'Blood of Jupiter' and can be traced back 3000 years.
Dolcetto means 'little sweet one' and refers to the berries. As a wine it can be traced back to the 16th century.
And how do they taste? David will tell you.

Sangiovese Dolcetto 2010 We mixed the dark cherries and spice of the Dolcetto with the earthiness of the Sangiovese to create a wine with clear elements of both. Ruby red, firm tannins and great complexity make this definitely a wine worth trying. |

Sangiovese 2011, unplugged Made in a lighter style than the 2010, this shows traditional Sangiovese characters: bright deep red colour, aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, spice and toasty oak, and a firm tannic finish. |

Dolcetto Rosé 2012 "Un bacio d'alba" - a kiss of dawn. Vibrant Salmon pink. Off dry style - the nose is packed full of strawberries and berry fruitm the palate is rich, sweet and soft on the front, but 'zingy' on the finish. |
$23.00 |
