Drinking Window: 2024 - 2025
An enticingly aromatic wine, with delicate strawberry and floral aromas leading to a palate with good flavour intensity – watermelon, cranberry and peach tea plus flashes of bright citrus. As befitting its Leftfield moniker (and quirky label), this is a unique blend of Merlot, Pinot Noir, Arneis and Pinot Gris, grown in sunny Hawke’s Bay.
