Always great to see a wine which has spent time in the cellar before release, although how they can manage that at this price is beyond me. Cracking value here. Deep red, the nose exudes strawberries and cherries. We have notes of warm earth, cloves and aniseed. On the palate, raspberries move to the fore with good acidity and nice balance. Still fresh and offering great persistence with tannins that are also fine and silky, this will drink well for ten years if needed. What fabulous value!

Lifted aromas of blackberry, bluberry and black pepper supported by spicy, dark berry fruits on the palate. The extensive finish is framed by elegant, fine grained tannins from eighteen months maturation in a combination of new and seasoned American and French oak barriques and hogshead.

This Awatere Valley Pinot Gris has flavours of white peach and underlying notes of pear, honey and exotic fruits. Elegant and Deftly balanced with a dry mouth watering finish, this wine is highly versatile with food. Delicious with oven baked flounder and parmesan cheese.

This chardonnay displays characters of fresh, lively stone fruit and citrussy acidity.
