Obliix Syrah Malbec Viognier 2023
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
Deliciously quirky Hawke's Bay Red Blend now just $12.99!!!
Reluctant to retire after the collapse of his Villa Maria empire, the legendary winemaker known as "the father of New Zealand wine", Sir George Fistonich, established Obliix wines. Obliix was originally launched as a premium brand, however some lines have been heavily discounted by the winery. We’ve secured a limited parcel of the 2023 Syrah Malbec Viognier, and much like the highly sought-after Obliix offers before it, this wine is now available at an unprecedented price. This unreal opportunity puts this high quality red blend on your table for far less than you'd expect to pay for wine of this calibre. Secure your own requirements before cutting friends and colleagues in on the action.
94/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS - "Plenty of acidity and polished tannins that frame the palate nicely"
Sourced predominantly from the renowned Cornerstone Vineyard on Gimblett Road, this distinctive blend showcases the depth, elegance, and character that Hawke’s Bay does so well. Widely regarded as the jewel in the crown of Hawke’s Bay viticulture, the Cornerstone vineyard consistently produces wines of remarkable structure and longevity.
An immediately inviting wine, the 2023 vintage opens with lifted aromatics of dark berries, violet, and subtle spice. Syrah forms the heart of the blend, delivering ripe blackberry fruit and warm spice notes, while malbec brings depth and structure to the palate. A splash of viognier completes the blend, adding a gentle floral perfume and a lush, silky mouthfeel to the finish. This is the perfect match for grilled salmon or roasted duck at your next get-together. Or stow it away in the cellar if you fancy, this wine will age beautifully as well. Pure class.

Tasting Notes
Vinted from a blend of 92% syrah, 6% malbec, 2% viognier.
The winemaker writes "An immediately inviting wine with lifted aromatics and smooth tannins.The Syrah component offers ripe black berry fruit and spice notes, while the Malbec provides a structure that enhances the front palate. A splash of Viognier adds a hint of floral perfume and a softness to the finish. While this a rare varietal blend, the partners complement each other perfectly."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A purple and ruby core with a pink rim, plenty of polish with a hint of staining in the tears. Aromas of fine power and precision, scents of blackcurrant then dark raspberry and a touch of plum. Layers of natural spice suggest a peppercorn note then wood smoke and a fine layer of baking spice with a lick of chocolate. A dry wine on the palate with a core of fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet, plenty of acidity and polished tannins frame that palate nicely. A wine that could be enjoyed from today though some cellar time will bring together all the attributes."
