Our flagship wine is a new world take on a Left Bank Bordeaux blend. Giving off intense aromas of dark plums and black fruit, cassis liqueur, and vanilla spice intertwined with fresh herbs and spicy oak. The palate is rich, soft, and opulent with lovely ripe tannins providing a well structured wine with warmth and  generosity. Aged in 40% new French oak for 12 months.

95 Points—Bob Campbell

Obsidian Vineyard nestles in the coastal hills of the Onetangi Valley adjacent to the northern coast of Waiheke Island. Here, small batches of wine are grown on four discrete hillsides set out in an amphitheatre-like fashion. The sheltered vines enjoy high levels of heat summation, tempered by the maritime breeze. The mineralized clay soil is rich in iron and manganese oxides, and overlays ancient weathered rock. These conditions perfectly suit the noble red and white grapes originating from the Mediterranean countries.
