2023'The Boar' Hunter's Collection Ruby Port 750ml
Truly inspired by your adventures - you asked and we listened.
There are a number of keen boar hunters out there who were desperate to see this aspect of New Zealand hunting make it on to one of our bottles. When we asked for your photos, we were blown away by how many dogs featured in each and every single one.
This youthful, bright, barrel aged Ruby Port has been crafted in honour of your most loved animals in the world of hunting... Our four-legged friends, that accompany us, wherever the adventure takes us.
Combining the two loves, we chose Emma Brensell's epic photo of her dogs, with an incredible Boar drawn by our artist and dear friend Tui Johnson. Emma is from right here in Central Otago and sent us some shots of her partner Matt's boar hunting adventures alongside their four legged friends.
Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes of Central Otago.
This is a 750ml bottle.
