Tiwaiwaka Library Release: Lucinda Bordeaux Blends

We're opening the cellar for a limited library release of our Lucinda Bordeaux blends — handcrafted wines that showcase over two decades of Tiwaiwaka’s commitment to premium winemaking on the Martinborough Terrace. These aged releases are a rare opportunity to experience the evolving complexity of one of our most distinctive red blends, created from carefully grown, low-yield vines by founders Elise and Morton Anderson. Lucinda 2005 57% Cabernet Sauvignon | 18% Cabernet Franc | 25% Merlot A deep ruby wine with lifted aromas of boysenberry, plum fruit, vanilla oak and liquorice. Traditional winemaking techniques and careful blending bring a full-bodied palate with fine structure, balance, and a long, lingering finish. 12.8% alc/vol | 7.5 standard drinks Lucinda 2010 62% Cabernet Sauvignon | 29% Merlot | 9% Cabernet Franc This vintage is Cabernet-dominant, offering ripe tannins, bold fruit, and the smooth integration of Merlot and Franc. It’s a harmonious, full-bodied blend that has matured gracefully over time. 13.4% alc/vol | 7.9 standard drinks
