The winemaking team at Paritua have one simple aim, to have 21·12 placed alongside the greatest Bordeaux Blends New Zealand has ever produced. For the release of 21·12, Paritua’s flagship wine, they went ‘Beyond Bordeaux’ and confidently lined up 21·12 shoulder to shoulder with some of New Zealand’s best Cabernet based wines.

Winemakers Notes
After a period of cold soak, we inoculate with preferred yeast. Temperatures are then managed to reach about 30°C. Once the ferment is dry the wine is tasted to evaluate maceration time, usually 20 to 28 days post ferment, Malolactic fermentation occurs on skins during maceration, and then finally basket pressed to barrel.
