Ripe cherry and plum flavours, with subtle spice. Smooth, elegant and incredibly moreish.

Full aromas of sweet summer red fruits meld with a touch of spice from Syrah and the plummy notes of Merlot in this 2016 release. A portion of the blend was held on lees in barrel for several months to enhance texture and develop the deliciously creamy, supple palate that finishes dry and long.

Fresh thyme and rosemary with spice notes of black cardamon, cinnamon and warm cedar with a palate that is wonderfully open and calm - red fruits glide through the finish.

A very aromatic vintage, the 2018 has a wonderful mix of violets, red cherry and more spicey elements of fennel seed and rosemary. The palate is bright and energetic with red fruit flavours filling out the mid palate, the finish is long and uplifting. This is an elegant and finely structured McCrone Pinot Noir, characteristic of the 2018 vintage.

This blend of skins fermentations with the more traditional pressed juice results in a fragrant perfumed wine, with aromas of citrus blossom, baked apple, mandarin, and aniseed. The entry to the palate is full and intense, with weight that drives through a long and lingering finish. Flavor's of savoury biscuits and nutmeg further highlight the palate.

A complex set of aromas and flavours which ripple over each other: juniper, cranberry, manuka flower, sandalwood, a hint of gingerbread and classic sweet hay. On the palate, flavours spread from warm spice to Campari, with a savoury seam that hints at ramen broth. The entry is vibrant and compelling with a rush of tannin that sweeps the flavours right through the palate. While this release will reward from cellaring, it is also highly satisfying to drink now.

2021 was a very small yielding vintage resulting in wines with intensity and concentration. The small compact bunches gave a wonderful blend of bright fruit aromas and more dark seductive notes of dark cherry, thyme and mulberry. The palate opens to more savoury notes of soy, tahini and burnt orange, which gives a depth of flavour. Combined with fresh acidity that gives energy and fine tannins that drive a sustaining finish. Only small quantities made, our Crimson 2021 shows the structure and drive of a small vintage in Martinborough.

Fragrant nose of dried roses and hay - fresh thyme and rosemary with spice notes of black cardamon, cinnamon and warm cedar.

Amberthorn is rich and aromatic. Botanicals like Chinese Anise, French lavender, and holy basil add a novel verdant quality. A squeeze of citrus rounds out the warm fruit of apple brandy. It’s a little bit thorny because it’s a little bit delicate — the botanicals Atsby use are rare indeed, and so they make only very limited quantities.

Armadillo Cake isn’t sweet. And frankly, it’s not that bitter either. Atsby create it in small batches, precisely and deliberately, and they don’t leave room for mistakes. Instead of processed sugar they use a dark caramel, hand-spun from earthy Indian Muscovado by an artisan chocolatier. Armadillo Cake features a blend of roots, spices, flowers, seeds and pods that you won’t find in any other product — think wild celery, Japanese shitake, and nigella.

This wine is a beautiful reflection of this cool climate region, aromatic on the nose, fine and elegant mid-palette with a clean acid finish. 40% whole bunch and adged in one third new oak, this is made to cellar.

A lightly savoury gin with an entirely unique flavour profile.
