Chateau Garage Lorenzo the Magnificent 2024

NEW ZEALAND'S MOST EXPENSIVE CURRENT RELEASE WINE
225 BOTTLES PRODUCED

Lorenzo is a blend of cabernet sauvignon (62% - sourced from the Cornerstone vineyard) and sangiovese (38% - sourced from the Osawa vineyard). It’s very aromatic and complex on the nose with the classic cabernet components of leather, eucalypt, and tobacco countered with the spicier, redder fruits that sangiovese brings to the conversation. The palate is awash with energy, with layers of plush tannin supporting a base line of darker fruits. The finish is very long and clean, with vibrant tension between the acid, tannin and fruit characters. Befitting a wine of this status, it’s a style that needs time to evolve. In its youth, the plusher fruit characters that are currently in hiding and somewhat  overshadowed by those ripe tannins - but all the building blocks are there for Lorenzo to live up to its full name.

When the Advintage team evaluated a sample, we all agreed that we have never tried Hawke’s Bay wine that was anything like this before. We thought it was wonderful. a truly special small batch release that will make a huge statement for celebrating.
