About Honu (Inspired by the island of Kaua’i) ...................................................................................... No need to take the 12-hour hike to Kalalau Beach along the slender Na Pali Coast where the Hawaiian sea turtles bask. Just open a bottle of Honu to taste the energy of this garden island. Tasting notes ...................................................................................... Color: Dark ruby red with a core of black fruits Aroma: Ripe black currant, roasting flavors, hints of vanilla, dried herbs and fruits, nuances of bitter chocolate Palate: Well balanced ripe tannins, full-bodied, spicy notes, long and complex finish. About the vineyard ...................................................................................... The south facing vineyard with its deep-rooted 23 year-old vines provides perfect conditions to produce wines rich in extract. The whole body of the soil is interspersed with fine marine limestone and loamy slate. About the vintage ...................................................................................... The 2016 vintage saw ugly weather but lovely wines. Uncommonly well-concentrated and nicely focused examples, whose extract and abundant tannins compare with the very best of Austrian red wine vintages.
