Theory & Practice Hawkes Bay Merlot 2015"Youthful and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows dark plum, blueberry, violet and mixed spice characters, which lead to a succulent palate that is beautifully fruited and finely textured. Wonderful fruit purity and harmony. Very long on the finish backed by polished tannins. At its best: now to 2022." Sam Kim Wine Orbit "Full, even, dark ruby red colour with youthful purple hues.

"Youthful and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows dark plum, blueberry, violet and mixed spice characters, which lead to a succulent palate that is beautifully fruited and finely textured. Wonderful fruit purity and harmony. Very long on the finish backed by polished tannins. At its best: now to 2022." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"Full, even, dark ruby-red colour with youthful purple hues.  This has a tightly bound bouquet of finely expressed aromas of ripe black-berried fruits, black and red currants, subtle black plum notes and dark red floral fragrances.  Medium-full bodied and elegant in proportion, the palate is tightly bound with flavours of black and red currants intermixed with nuances of red florals.  The fruit is refined and supported by fine-grained tannin structure and textures.  Balanced acidity provides linearity and energy to the flow, and the concentrated core of black fruits carries along a fine-grained line leading to a tight, lingering aromatic black-fruited finish.  This is an elegant, tightly concentrated, black-fruited Merlot with fine grip and acidity.  Match with roast lamb and beef over the next 6-8 years.  A blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, the fruit from three vineyards: Moteo, S.H. 50 (for the Cabernet Franc) and one in Bridge Pa, indigenous yeast fermented to 14.5% alc., the wine aged 12 months in 40% new oak." Raymond Chan

Deep red in colour with a purple hue. A complex savoury nose with fruit characters of black plum from the merlot and some lifted black-currant bud notes from the Cabernet Franc. Barrel ferment notes of coffee, funk and chorizo sausage add savoury complexity and interest. The palate is very full bodied with amazing weight and fineness. The spice notes are in the range of vanilla, caramelised sugar and toasted raisin bread.

Theory & Practice wines are made by consultant winemaker Ant Mackenzie working in partnership with other growers and winemakers.  This range showcases the best qualities of New Zealand’s wine regions in a contemporary style.

The texture on the palate is from supple front palate grape skin tannins. These tannins are largely obscured by the weight and richness of glycerol and alcohol. These underlying tannins help balance this fruit richness and give the wine structure without contributing bitterness.

All fruit was hand-harvested and destemmed to open top fermenters. The grapes were ‘cold soaked’ for seven days before undergoing a quick fermentation with natural vineyard yeasts.  After fermentation the young wine was pressed to tank before draining to French oak barrels (40% new). Malo-lactic fermentation was completed in barrel and the wine left to age on full lees. After 12 months of aging the barrels were blended and the wine bottled.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine with grilled or braised red meat dishes.

Nice room divider
Product as described although it took me some time to assemble it. Sturdy, I used it to create a small space for myself as office to work from home in the living room. So that I no longer need to worry about my background when I am in zoom call when working remotely.

Not easy to put together
It worked sort of. It was not easy to put together and has lots of gaps, but it did add a little division in the room.

Sturdy, Easy to Set Up, and Looks Great
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I’m really happy with this RANTILA 3-panel room divider. It was simple to set up, stands securely on its own, and gives plenty of privacy. The height is perfect, and the panels look clean and modern in my space. It’s lightweight enough to move around but still feels sturdy. Overall, a great divider that works exactly as I needed.

Not 6 ft
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I bought this for filming my auditions. I am 5’4” .The height lists is 6 ft but the fabric only reaches 5’9 1/2 “! when I must film myself head to toe, the top bars are showing. It’s easy to set up. But when I film I must tilt my camera to keep the top bars out of frame which is not acceptable.

Perfect for what I needed - getting a 2nd one.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Putting it together was a BEE-OTCH!! Yes, one of the tubes had the top cap installed at the wrong end (& getting it off required tools), and yes, stretching the fabric to get the screws in was incredibly hard...but am I buying another one? YES! After all is said and done, this is a great room divider. I opted out of installing the paddle feet & it still works perfect. It won't filter light all that great and even though it stands on its own, it can be blown over easily - but for the price? Excellent. If I wanted a heavy duty, thicker, more expensive one, I would've bought one. The 2nd one is on the way. Perfect height, no weird smell, nice and light and easy to move around.
