"A marvellously fragrant wine suggesting blackberry, licorice, anise and violets. The intense, long palate marries opulence and fineness to perfection. This just might be NZ’s most intense Syrah / Viognier. It’s a huge wine with a velvet texture and masses of ripe plum and dark berry fruit flavours that are more than a match for the wine’s solidly oaky overcoat.”
Bob Campbell, Gourmet Traveller Wine, August / September 2006 -
Golden yellow in colour with a bouquet of stone-fruit, spice and pear. Palate is dry, rich and honied, with an elegant finish.
-
Bright plum and cherry fruit flavours,cedar and oak spice together with underlining earthy and game complexities on the nose. A medium bodied wine with a svelte,velvety texture, supporting dark berry fruit flavours and a soft, fine finish.
-
A complex perfumed nose of dark berries with a pure, compact and densely flavoured palate of ripe forest fruit, herbal notes and earthy spice, followed by textural fine tannins.
-
Tropical fruits along with the cool climate attributes of Central Otago combine to make a truly amazing Chardonnay that could rival anything else in the world. It is a flinty elegant wine with good structure and balance. Barrel fermented in French oak.
-
This wine combines spice and pepper with ripe blackberry fruit for a rich and soft palate with a long and complex finish.
-
An enticing nose of ripe red fruits which combine beautifully with flavours of sweet dark plums intermingled with savoury notes and exotic spices. This wine is elegant and refined but with real weight and power.
-
Wild raspberry and plum fruit aromas with spice and a little vanilla from oak barrels. This is an elegant wine with firm but not heavy tannin structure. The texture is silky and there is great persistence of wild fruit flavours on the finish.
-
A nose of Granny Smith apples with a hint of strawberries and cream. Refreshing, vibrant, moreish on the palate with fruity acidity and biscuity complexity.
-
Aromatically there are orange blossoms, honeysuckle and jasmine. On the palate it's a real citrus fiesta with sweet lemon, limes and mandarins. There is also an element of minerality about the wine with subtle notes of stone fruit and almonds. The sugar acid balance is described as 'off dry' and the finish is clean making this a good aperitif and food wine.
