This is Paritua 2112 in grand format — a 5 litre Jeroboam of one of Hawke’s Bay’s most prestigious Bordeaux-style blends, made for serious collectors and celebratory tables alike. From the exceptional 2014 vintage, this flagship release is a blend of 54% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, and 19% cabernet franc, delivering both depth and freshness in equal measure.
The nose is complex and aromatic — blackcurrant, cassis, black plum and dark florals surge forward, backed by hints of olive, dried herbs and spice. On the palate, it’s densely packed yet lifted, with sweet, succulent fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and a silky wave of pencilly, cedary oak. The tannins are fine and perfectly integrated, driving the wine through to a long, elegant and sustained finish.
This is a wine of remarkable vitality and refinement, with the concentration and structure to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more. A true centrepiece bottle — for cellaring, gifting, or truly unforgettable celebrations.

Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Very full, dark, black-red colour with garnet hues, near impenetrable, a little lighter on the rim. The nose is aromatic with deep and concentrated, very ripe, blackcurrant, blackberry and black plum fruit, This is vibrant and fresh, and enhanced by spicy, pencilly and cedary oak. Notes of olives, dark herbs and cassis unfold to provide layers of detail. Full-bodied, the palate is rich, sweet and succulent with vibrant flavours of ripe blackcurrants with cassis liqueur, blackberries and black plums, along with a layering of exotic, spicy, cedary oak. The flavours are densely packed and concentrated. The mouthfeel has great vitality and the fruit is supported by very fine-grained tannin structure, with balanced acid energy. The flavours carry to a very long, rich and sustained finish. This is an impressively vibrant and densely packed Cabernet/Merlot blend with sweetly rich and succulently ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit with exotic oak and a fine structured palate."
