Karikari declares its 2008 wines to be amongst the best yet.
Karikari Estate winemaker, Ben Dugdale, has declared himself “very happy” with the results of the 2008 vintage at New Zealand’s most northerly winery. Karikari Estate, located on the one time Pacific island off New Zealand’s north eastern coast, escaped the more extreme climatic conditions of the growing season in the region, and both red and white wines from the property have strong flavour, balance and aroma.
Currently the wines are all in the early stages of their maturing and settling process, which will take as long as 2 years in oak barrels for the reds, where Ben holds high expectations for the quality of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and pinotage. He is also especially happy with the quality of the syrah, which he says is looking to be “the best so far” from Karikari.
Also coming into the top drawer category is the chardonnay, with typical steel and bouquet already apparent. Currently in large French oak the wine is due for release later this year.
