Mill Road (Hawkes Bay) Merlot Cabernet

Tasting Note - Concentrated aromas of ripe dark fruits and chocolate with a hint of tobacco. The palate is full bodied, plump and juicy with sweet ripe fruit flavours supported by fine chalky tannins. 

Winemaking - The grapes for this wine were sourced from two of our Hawkes Bay vineyards – Tantallon and Campbell Brook. The grapes were harvested from the respective vineyards and transported to our Riverview winery were they were crushed to open topped stainless steel fermentation vessels and inoculated with a range of yeast strains. The ferments were pumped over several times per day until dry and then allowed from 2 to 5 days extended maceration. The wine was then pressed off the skins and some was put to barrel where it was aged for 12 months before blending with components which had been matured in stainless steel. The wine was then transported by road tanker to our Katikati winery for final blending and finishing.

Mills Reef (Hawkes Bay) 2021 Reserve Cabernet Merlot

93 Points - Cameron Douglas

Boy this is a winner. If you love a good ol Bordeaux style blend this will surely please. Its got guts and finesse!

Using classic Bordeaux varieties Cabernet, Merlot and a splash of Cabernet Franc from their prized Gimblett Gravels vineyards and aged in high quality oak for 15 months before release. This is a rich, darkly fruited Hawke’s Bay red (think plums, blackcurrant and cassis!) with a touch of spice and a silky smooth texture.

If you’re a lover of the “Bordeaux” style red this is an absolute must try and with good cellaring potential there’s plenty of reason to grab a case and drink ’em over the next 5-6 years.

Thorn Clarke Sandpiper (Barossa) 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon

Gold Medal - Melbourne International Wine Show
Bronze Medal - Royal Hobart Wine Show
Bronze Medal - New World Wine Awards
92 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit


The Sandpiper range is named after the migratory bird which visits the Thorn Clarke vineyards annually from the northern hemisphere - something of a reminder of the tenacity and commitment which is required for long term viticulture.

The Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from several Thorn-Clarke owned vineyards. This wine is produced in a 'fruit forward' style with 12 months in primarily French oak; the wine is ready to be enjoyed now and will comfortably cellar up to 5 years. This Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon displays great lift and intensity of fruit whilst retaining Cabernet varietal character.
