What the Critics Say About Destiny Bay Wines
Bob Campbell MW – NZ “Very impressive wine indeed – it ranks as one of the best blended NZ reds I’ve ever tasted” (MP 2006)
Anthony Dias Blue - USA “This small spot is producing some of New Zealand’s – and the world’s – best reds. ” (98/100 MP 2007)
Neal Martin – UK (e. Robert Parker. com) “Destiny Bay wines are well worth seeking out. Magna Praemia is an ‘iron fist in a velvet glove’, reminiscent of a great Cabernet-based Right Bank wine like Château Figeac”
John Hawkesby - NZ “A wine any serious wine drinker should have in their cellar. ” (MP 2006)
Gerard Basset MW – UK & France “In a blind tasting I would pick the 2007 as a First Growth and the 2008 as a Super Tuscan. These wines have great class and are delicious. ”
Michael Cooper - NZ “Five Stars” (2005, 2006 and 2007 wines)
Erik Kwok – Hong Kong “World class Bordeaux blends from New Zealand. ”
