Stonyridge Airfield $4 $16 $75 $65 Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot Waiheke Island 2017 Airfield is the second label to the world famous Bordeaux blend, Larose. Airfield is made from the same quality fruit that will typically be used for Larose, but is a more forward fruit driven wine for the short to medium term. 2017 was another chal- lenging year in the vineyards on Waiheke, so the advantage of the free draining north facing slopes of Stonyridge were key to achieving the quality of the Airfield this year. The heat throughout the ripening period meant that flavour ripeness was easily achieved.

Medium bodied in the mouth, there is soft, approachable tannin framing the juicy sweet fruit of the mid-palate.

Stonyridge Pilgrim $5 $23 $105 $95 Syrah, Mourvèdre, Viognier, Grenache Waiheke Island 2017 2017 was another challenging year in the vineyards on Waiheke, so the advantage of the free draining north facing slopes of Stonyridge were key to achieving the quality of the Pilgrim this year. The heat throughout the ripening period meant that flavour ripeness was easily achieved. On the nose, bright, fragrant aromas of fresh cherries and blueberries, with complex spice and toasty oak. The fineness and warmth of the 2017 vintage is to the fore in this wine, but will benefit from medium term cellaring. The palate at this youthful stage is tight and balanced, with fresh acidity and a soft tannin structure. The mid- palate has bountiful fruit sweetness and finishes long. Stonyridge Luna Negra $6 $29 $130 $120 100% Hillside Malbec Waiheke Island 2017 2017 was another challenging year in the vineyards on Waiheke, so the advantage of the free draining north facing slopes of Stonyridge were key to achieving the quality of the Luna Negra this year.

On the nose, dense dark fruits layered with mocha and vanilla notes are sup- ported by a generous level of quality tight grained cedary French oak. The fineness and warmth of the 2017 vintage are the foremost characters in this wine, and this Luna Negra will benefit from medium to long term cellaring to knit the elements of this fine wine together. The palate is taut and firm, with great tannin grip at this youthful stage of its development, and with the density of sweet fruit through the palate, makes for a generous mouth-filling wine.
