Chateau Garage Lorenzo the Magnificent 2024

Lorenzo the Magnificent is a blend bringing together the noble grape varieties of Bordeaux and Tuscany – 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Sangiovese.   From the incredible 2024 Hawke’s bay grape harvest, this wine takes inspiration from Italian adventures and stories of the Renaissance patron of the arts, Lorenzo de Medici. 

The blend speaks of the earth, with captivating aromas of the purest of dark fruits encased in bramble and wood smoke and a fine seam of graphite. Texturally the wine is rich and structured with plush tannins derived from perfectly ripe red grapes.

The grapes are harvested meticulously by hand, then destemmed before being fermented and aged in Italian ceramic and clay vessels. The use of Clay Amphorae, handmade in Hungary, allows for longer skin contact with the wine after fermentation which helps to build rich, velvety tannins and texture. 

Each bottle has a unique wax seal to ensure authenticity, only 225 bottles produced.
