Jancisrobinson.com 18/20 "Complex nose of smoky bacon, black pepper. Rich but not fat, lots of ripe berry fruit. Like a rich northern rhne, and really smooth. Very pretty and very perfumed". Heady, perfumed, deeply impressive. French barriques (35% new)

Wild ferment, French oak, super-grand and arresting. Decanter "lovely creaminess... packed full of flavour, intense bacon fat, spice, subtle tropical fruit... elegant style"

Multi-Award winning affordable version of their Homage, so effectively the no.2 Syrah in NZ. Very dark but in no way over-extracted, silky, long, lithe, pronounced pepper and a whiff of tar.

Refreshing off-dry Riesling with 21g/l residual sugar, but plenty of acidity to balance it. Peach and citrus fruitiness with a crunchy green apple finish.

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

jancisrobionson.com 18/20 "Lime-like freshness, the spice showing on the back palate.... creamy texture... mid palate/freshness/flinty character pull it in tight on the long finish. Very long"

Parker 90 "violets and black pepper add hints of stone fruit and blueberries on the nose... creamy-silky texture that's wrapped up by a long, juicy finish edged with mocha..." A silky classic from the stars of Gimblett Gravels, co-fermented with a dab of Viognier for scented elegance.

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.

An opulent style of Marlborough Pinot layered with notes of cloves, star anise and tea. 93/100 decanter "lovely bright cherry nose, followed by tarry oak, dark chocolate and fresh red fruits"

Such joy from this small 2-family artisan estate. Ex-Cloudy bay winemaker. Only a few quid more than basic 'NZSB' but gosh what an upgrade! Jancis Robinson MW 17/20 "...extra-bright fruit with strong passionfruit aromas and a certain amount of delicacy. Chalky finish. Lots of interest here. Very youthful and energetic indeed. Complimenti!" Parker 92/100 "Perhaps the most complex regular Savvy I can recall from Dog Point… offers up aromas that range from subtle notions of garden peas to melon, nectarine and pink grapefruit. It's medium-bodied and silky in texture, generous yet crisp, with a focused, slightly chalky and deliciously lingering finish."

The nose is complex with aromas of cranberry, raspberry and carraway alongside an earthy spice element. The palate is finely structured with bramble fruit flavours, fine tannins and a savoury finish,

Fantastic length. Nothing in excess, there's oak, there's spice, there's richness, stone fruit, citrus fruit, all in balance and all building up. Will age. Sumptuous on second look.

From a legendary New Zealand producer. Really pleasing nose. Straight up, classical, pure. Slightly smoky, but soft too. Creamy, sweet lemon, slightly pithy on the finish. Clean, simple, and pleasing.

Former Cloudy Bay team and grapes. Cool pretty bright, polished, broad mouth-feel. Rhubarb and vermouth! Faultless.

Bright and clear. Scent of grapefruit and zippy tangerine, charming silky texture. Good acid thread, and nicely dry.

Previous vintage Jancis 18.5 "just gorgeous palate, sensual, deep, terrific length... has to be the best Marlborough Pinot I have tasted"

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.

Quite toasty on the nose, crème brulee, Greenish yellow colour, pear and apple fruit, ripe, super juicy, super expressive, a little grip. Spice, leanness, and minerality on the finish. Lingering and ethereal.

Mineral, saline aromas. Quite spicy. A little bit tropical, guava, passionfruit. Melon fruit, juicy, vibrant. Totally different. Very juicy. Textural. Plump but not fat. Bigger boned.

Refreshing off-dry Riesling with plenty of acidity to balance it. Appealing elderflower and honeydew melon aromas. Peach and citrus fruitiness on the palate with zesty lime sherbet on the finish.

Cool, reserved, crunchy. Lovely with rare lamb, light dishes, summer afternoons.

From one of the most respected wineries in Hawkes Bay comes 'The Trinity', a blend of Merlot, Tempranillo, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Syrah. Rich aromas of plum and cherry combine with notes of leather and spice. This wine has perfumed aromas of violets and fresh blackcurrants, along with hints of liquorice and spicy, toasty oak. The palate is supple and juicy with soft, ripe tannins and an elegant finish.

Light in colour, but big in flavour. An exemplary entry level NZPN.

No other region in the world can match Marlborough in New Zealand for Sauvignon Blanc popularity, alive with aromatic fruit and refreshing acidity. Pure elderflower, cut grass and tropical fruit. Very rewarding!

A wild ferment, aged in old French oak.

Expressive and aromatic on the bouquet, this wine shows lifted notes of Turkish delight, exotic fruit and crystallized ginger. The palate has weight and texture without sweetness, giving the elegant exotic fruits and exotic spice flavours good persistence and elegance.

Clearly many steps above standard NZSB, a matserpiece of subtlety from the co-founder of Cloudy Bay.
