In exceptional vintages we occasionally find special pockets of grapes destined for the Basket Press. The resultant wine is the pinnacle of our wine making. Intense purple, red rimmed with a palate of multi -layered fruit, a heady mix of leather, tar, mint cassis and plum held together with fine grained tannins and spicy oak.

Comes in wooden gift box.

The grapes for this generous wine were exclusively sourced from the stony soils of our prestigious Gimblett Gravels vineyard in Hawkes Bay, on low yielding vines. A rich full bodied wine, this traditional blend exudes intense blackcurrant, blackberry and plum flavours, layered with caramel and spicy cedary oak.  Ageing in quality oak has conferred a velvety smooth texture.

The Patriarch is Babich?s flagship red wine, grown on their Gimblett Gravels ?Irongate? vineyard in Hawke?s Bay. This blend contains Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. The nose is darkly perfumed and warm with nutmeg and cedar notes. The palate is fleshy and full with dark plums and sweet tarry notes. Tannins bind red floral aromatics to the palate and stretch the flavours through onto the lingering finish.

Tom is Church Road's most premium range of wines. This Syrah is made from incredible quality fruit from the Hawke’s Bay. The nose is rich, ripe and fragrant. Layers of dark berry and cherry fruit are supported by lifted violet perfume, warm exotic spice and notes of dusty cacao, vanilla, smoky charcuterie with a subtle underlying earthiness. On the palate, the wine is both luxurious and elegant with a plush texture supported by silky tannins, lending great length to the finish.
