Wine
-
The characters typical of our Gimblett Road vineyards such as pineapple, grapefruit, fig and pear are evident. Mealy, biscuity barrel ferment and integrated oak characters add complexity. The wine displays the desirable character of elegance with power. This is a powerful wine, but it also shows softness and great balance.
-
A lively crisp sparkling wine with a delicate lemony character and an aromatic, dry, refreshing finish.
-
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.
-
Deep straw yellow in colour with rich tropical fruits such as pinneapple, peaches and pears on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with juicy tropical fruit flavours akin to the nose (pineapple, peach and citrus). this wine has a refreshing nature and a lingering finish.
-
This is classic Mosel Riesling with a fresh lemony fragrance on the nose. In the palate there is an amazingly complex balance of many different factors - fresh acidity and off-dry sweetness - slate driven mineral texture and low alcohol - fresh fruit and a deep oily complexity. Poise and depth.
-
Made from Chenin Blanc in a typically dry style with hints of pear and quince on the nose. Ripe and juicy on the palate with a strong chalky minerality, lots of fruits layers and balanced by a benchmark freshness.
-
A pale straw yellow colour with greenish reflections and has a delicate perlage, its fruity aromas carry through to the palate, which is fresh and slightly sweet with a moderate alcoholic volume.
-
Lightly aromatic and floral in character with delicate flavours of white blossom and peaches, a balanced wine with refreshing acidity.
-
Very fine, subtle oak and vanilla cream with underlying flintiness and fresh ripe-pear fruit. Plenty of richness and body, but this is held in check by a constant thread of minerality running through the middle. Just when you expect the flavours to fade on the finish, they do the opposite and reach a glorious, complex crescendo. Magnificent.
. -
A young vibrant rose wine with an attractive rich strawberry hue, bags of berry fruit aromas and a delicious palate. A crisp acidity is well matched by the natural sweetness, with redcurrant and raspberry flavours to finish.
