All proceeds from the exhibition go towards Convoys of Good for families in Gaza.

Ha Ha Merlot 2023, Hawkes Bay. RRP $19.00 Ha Ha means – to ‘Catch your breath' in te reo Māori A palate of plums and blackberry fruit scents, there's a light violet touch and generous fruity core. Fine tannins with medium+ acid line to frame the flavours of plums and red berry fruits. Balanced and refreshing with decent length and lots of style. Best drinking from 2025 through 2028. The Food: Merlot is one of those wines that bridges the earthy umami flavours of winter fare almost seamlessly every time. One such dish a chicken ballotine stuffed with spinach, lentils and prunes. You can substitute out the prunes for dates, raisins or even dried apricot. The natural sweetness of the fruit with the meat is what Merlot likes. Spinach and red wine tannins like each other a lot, and lentils provide the earthy theme to the dish. The lentils can be served on the side if stuffing them into a rolled-up chicken breast or leg doesn't fit your idea of using lentils in that way. The Season: 2023 was challenging to a greater or lesser degree through Aotearoa NZ. The north island was challenged by the wind and rain. Hawkes Bay where this wine was grown got smashed by cyclone Gabrielle. Producers of wine were quick to react and harvest only the best fruit to make wine. The South Island not so much at all. The bottom line is wine from the 2023 vintage on the most part are wines to drink and enjoy now. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Esk Valley Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022, Hawkes Bay RRP from $24.99. From the Gimblett Gravels sub-regional GI of Hawkes Bay The Wine: Great colour concentration leading to a bouquet of ripe dark red berry fruits, blackberry and roasted plums, a mix of sweet and bitter chocolate, cacao and baking spices. The wood smoke from use of barrel adds complexity and depth. Dry with an abundance of ripe tannins and plenty of acidity for bite and freshness, West drinking from day of purchase through 2030. The Food: Great with moderate to high protein foods – from lamb to beef and even some roast chicken. Red meat, say a steak, that is cooked medium-rare has a lot more available protein on the palate than say one cooked to medium-well, or well-done. The rarer the meat the bigger and younger a red wine can be – the protein in the flesh and any juice that might ooze from it soften tannins in the wine making it seem smoother or softer. The other consideration is the sauce and the seasoning: I don't mean tomato sauce – though this is full of sugar and salt – I mean a reduction, a jus, or a cream=based sauce will all have a reaction with the wine. One piece of advice – if you have a chili meter from 1 to 10, 1 being the least heat and 10 being the hottest of hot, don't add chili spices to the food that is intended to go with red wine beyond a 3 or 4 on the scale. Chili turns the volume up on tannin and alcohol perceptions in red wine and can easily disrupt the flavours within the dish. The season: 2022 was a very good year for wines from Hawkes Bay. With a warm and dry winter, and the earliest veraison in 30 years. Then quite a bit of rain before 30+ degree days until harvest. The wines that I have tasted are balanced, complete and will age through to 2030 for most and 2035+ for the rest. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
