A deep, dark cherry-coloured with extraordinary intensity and complexity. Blackberries and floral notes are detected first on the nose. The fruit is well-integrated with the wood, displaying spicy aromas from the French oak; cinnamon, leather, tobacco, truffle and black liquorice. Sweet, smooth tannins coat the palate and the mouth is full-bodied and persistant with an array of complex flavours.

Taittinger Nocturne is a pale yellow colour with shimmering highlights. The bubbles form a delicate necklace of fine mousse. Its nose is subtle and fresh, suggestive of the delightful aromas of white blossom and ripe fruit, with overtones of yellow peaches and dried apricots. The first impression on the palate is soft and mellow and remains very fresh. It is dominated by flavours reminiscent of raisins and fruit in syrup. The aftertaste is long and soft with an enjoyable and full of flavour sweetness. All in all, a mature, rounded, rich, mellow wine of intense smoothness, tenderness and passion.

Pale pink in the glass with a nose of fresh strawberries. Light and moreish on the palate with excellent balance.

A wine with a deep raspberry-pink colour, bright and lively. On the nose it has lovely strawberry and raspberry aromas mingled with hints of blossom. In the mouth it is fresh, smooth and balanced with a pleasant finish full of crisp, acid sensations.

A medium bodied and dry Rose. Fresh and fruity, concentrated strawberry and raspberry flavours, supported by its structure.

amber in colour with complex, intense, saline aromas of hazlenuts and bitter almonds. Bone-dry and goes on...and on...and on...

Deep ruby colour with aromas of currants and candied peel. Powerful, but well integrated, tannins, fresh minerality and lively Assam and redcurrant notes. Clean and modern.

Ruby-red in the glass with light vanilla perfumes. Intense, elegant and dry.

Typical fruit characters from Hawkes Bay Chardonnay such as grapefruit and melon are supplemented by biscuity characters with a light butteriness. The wine is rich and round, with soft acidity and attractive sweet fruit.
