Fine "old world" wine of first growth quality from a single vineyard planted in the 1970s at Matakana, Northland, New Zealand. The Antipodean -- "New Zealand's Lafite" -- is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and malbec, with harmony, fragrance, length and seamless integration of character. 

Hailed as "New Zealand's Lafite" [French Count Jean De St Charles] and as "the first real red wine" [wine writer Nicholas Faith] to come out of New Zealand. 

The Antipodean has been described by Nicholas Bryant in the National Business Review as making "The best red wines produced in this country."

The wine is available in a select few places.

If you are in Matakana call into  The Matakana Store, Matakana Valley Road  and ask for  The Antipodean. 

The wine is usually in stock but if you need more they can get more.
