Frenchmans Hill Estate Blood Creek 8 Waiheke 14

Powerful deeply flavoured, bold Bordeaux blend of eights grape varieties grown on the steep warm slopes of Luc Desbonnets 8 Vineyard above the bright and warm tidal water of the Okahuiti Creek estuary. This wine is a tribute to his Grandmother Marthe, the 13th child of her family, and her son, my father Patrick, born 13 December, his lucky number. Harmonious and complex wine with great length and fine grainy tannins. Unfined and minimally filtered.
