95 Points Bob Campbell MW
In stock
An incredible price on this 95 pointer red from Bob Campbell! The Stone Paddock Scarlet was Bob's number 5 Merlot from the great vintage of 2020 (wow!) where it was sitting alongside high price wines — and two places above Elephant Hill's top label Heironymous! A change of distributor means this quality second label from the Hawkes Bay organic experts Paritua is available for a song. This densely flavoured and structured Merlot Cab offers next level drinking now, and the potential to age for almost a decade. Grab this before it goes!
$20.99 in mixed 6+ or $23.99 per bottle

Its Origins

Paritua Vineyards is located on Maraekakaho Road in the heart of the Hawkes Bay 'Triangle’ District, one of New Zealand's most diverse regions for the production of both premium red and white grapes. The vineyard Paritua as a tribute to the Paritua Stream, which meanders gently through the land. It is a name that also acknowledges the connection with the land and the people of New Zealand. Inspiration for the name 'Stone Paddock' came from the free-draining, stony soils that make up Paritua Vineyards. The stones featured on the Stone Paddock label were gathered from the Syrah and Cabernet blocks. In July 2008, talented winemaker Jason Stent joined the Paritua team, working over 120 acres of vineyards.
