FIVE STARS | Michael Cooper
Paritua are a shining star of Hawke's Bay fine wine production and when you taste this incredible wine you will immediately know why the scores for it are so high. 2112 is Paritua's flagship wine and it is a superb effort. The 2020 is a blend of 53% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, and 20% cabernet franc 20%. Sweet fruit flavours and ultra fine tannins combine with a subtle yet lingering power on the palate and a simply extraordinary length. This is New Zealand red at its absolute pinnacle. Powerful but not overworked. Refined. Magnificent. Purchase with our very highest recommendation.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Seductively complex and enticing, the wine shows dark fruit richness, smoked game, vanillin oak, dried herb and potpourri aromas, leading to a powerfully concentrated palate delivering outstanding weight and depth. Wonderfully complemented by plush texture and layers of grainy tannins, finishing impressively long and velvety."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A captivating bouquet of dark plums and sweet black olives, there’s a black currant and blackberry scent laced with toasty barrel spices and sweet tobacco oak suggestions. Dry stones and dark earth underpin these bouquet ideas. Full-bodied, taut, dry, complex and firm. Tannins are robust, abundant, polished with fine through course textures, acidity is the backbone and core of fruit centration still making friends with the oak. A wine that is still very youthful and in need of cellar development time. It’s also delicious and a fine match with cheese in its youthful state."
