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)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Gorgeous little citrus flowers link arms with melon and peach to dance in the sunshine, always maintaining an air of class.15% of the wine was aged in oak puncheons for added texture.

Leaner, more austere on the nose. Very lively on the palate, almost sweet caramelised edge, high acid, good brightness. Very ripe, round, and unctuous. Vanillin finish. Tarte tatin. A bit much at the moment. Puppy fat. Lovely length though. Still plenty of opportunity.

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.

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.

A pure tropical fruit nose of passionfruit and gooseberry gives way to nuances of blackcurrant, grapefruit, and underlying flinty aromas. The palate is concentrated and enticing, coupled with the classic Isabel “Old Vine” mineral tones, making this wine refreshing and traditional in style. A creamy mid-palate and balanced acidity gives the wine weight and length.

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.

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