A heady fragrance of peony and violets, red cherry and pomegranate, overlaid with a smoky, earthy savouriness. The character reflects the perfume and delicacy of the vintage, whilst retaining its innate muscular tannin structure that ensures it will age very well. The palate shows great intensity, complexity and structure.

Tinpot Hut
Clear, creamy, nutty, silky. Ripe pear, nutmeg. 4.4g/l sugar, but tastes much richer. Winemaker Fiona Turner really is a star.

This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc offers complexity of texture and a mineral drive that summons river stones and sea spray. Blackcurrant, guava and passionfruit are captured alongside the subtlest hint of oyster-shell. This wine is focused and explosive on both nose and palate yet remains elegantly balanced and distinctly saline.

Greywacke
A seductive combination of white nectarine, pink grapefruit and candied orange rind mingles with the more savoury aromas of roasted chestnuts and hot buttered brioche an elaborate concoction infused with linseed and woodsmoke. The savouriness carries through onto a wonderfully dry palate that has great texture and concentration, with distinct flintiness, tight structure and terrific ageing potential.

By Kevin Judd ex-Cloudy Bay head winemaker/co-founder. His top SB, rare and indeed, wild as in unique and funky - indigenous yeast ferment in old oak. Ground-breaking top-end NZSB.

Blank Canvas
Varietal with a gentle herbacous quality transitioning into ripe white fleshed fruits of apple and lemon, a touch of pineapple then a light white vegtable quality. Crisp, taut, fruity, refreshing and dry with complexity from bottle development and a whisper of toastiness, there is plenty to admire, but this wine is also young with acidity and energy as well. As the wine becomes more ambient the flavours and textures grow and develop. A thoroughly interesting example, balanced and well made. Best drinking from today and through 2029. 93 Points

A textured and savoury wine. It shows fleshy white nectarine and orchard fruit, alongside a flint-focussed precision on the palate, with a grainy and honeyed richness. It shows crystalline purity, with powerful savoury oak, and layered complexity.

Dog Point
Dog Point Vineyards Pinot Noir is a stunning wine that embodies the essence of the Marlborough region in New Zealand. With its deep ruby colour and rich, complex flavours, this Pinot Noir is a versatile, food-friendly wine that is perfect for pairing with a range of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews. On the nose, this wine is bursting with aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with hints of vanilla, cloves, and oak. On the palate, it is velvety and smooth, with layers of black and red fruit flavours and a long, satisfying finish. A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by dried herb and characteristic brown spice notes and complex smokiness. The palate has a dense core of juicy fruit and bold, fine grained, ripe tannins

Esk Valley
Passion fruit and pea shoots mingle easily on the nose of this medium-bodied wine. This is a fully dry and somewhat austere Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, ending on notes of white grapefruit and hints of underripe stone fruit.
