The Navigator stays true to Alpha Domus’s commitment of terroir based quality wines at exceptional prices.
This Navigator pilots your senses through a complex array of plum, blackberry, spice clove and toasty vanilla oak characteristics. Its a great wine experience that will guide you through the red grape varieties that made Hawke's Bay famous.
Case of 6 ($30/bottle)
The middle tier Alpha Domus range adheres to the Ham’s winemaking philosophy with the Navigator guiding the way. Alpha Domus has been navigating since 2002 with the current vintage of 2014 offering a value based Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. After the 12 months in oak the Navigator releases ripe berryfruit, plums and violet aromas with touches of leather, mint, and sweet vanilla. The palate enjoys those ripe plum and blackberry flavours with spiced cloves. As the wine navigates its way down your mouth this Hawke’s Bay red shows off its firm tannins within savoury game and leathery characters.
Barton & Guestier have been making Bordeaux for a wee while....almost 300 years, so they have a fair idea of how to make a good one - and it shows with Cuvee Rambaud
Named after their first Cellar Master Germain Rambaud who first created this wine (or a version of it) way back in 1755!
