Elegant whiffs of jasmine and white peach blossoms, racy and crackling acidity with distinct Fiano texture

A mix of white and red varieties creating a perfect blend for a chilled red :-)

Crafting a pinpoint precise, squeaky clean wine is one of the most boring things we could possibly think of. We prefer embracing your inner creative, and searching for more radical experiences. This has become one of our most cult-followed wines since we began. It's not exactly white wine, nor red - many call it Amber wine...but we just call it Esoterico. We make no additions of any kind - save for sulphur when we bottle the wine. There is no fining or filtration involved, with the wine allowed to clarify by gravity alone - resulting in a slight haze and sediment. This is one of the most enjoyable wines to craft, as there was no preconceived idea of what it must taste like - the chief driver is pure drinkability - a 'scrumptious' quality - mouthwatering acidity and 'say hello!' tannins. It's a Bohemian at heart.

A delicate prosecco that has fruitful aromas of wild apple, acacia flowers and a hint of honey. It has a sleek and balanced palate with persistent perlage. 

Juicy red fruit, smooth tannins, and a hint of spice. Elegant and fresh.

An elegant Pinot from a cooler, elevated site in Bannockburn - a palate that is fluid and silky with vibrant acidity that gives the wine length and memory

Orange wine from Central Otago, New Zealand. Made from Pinot Gris.

A light golden hue with aromas of white peach, ripe pear, lemon zest, orchid and oyster shell. The palate is complex and layered with flavours of citrus, stone fruit, white blossom and sea salt that complement a richly textured palate with perfectly appointed acidity that lingers intensely on the finish. This sophisticated young wine is both charming and intense. It aptly captures the ethereal nature of the Waitaki and has great aging potential.

An Orange Wine

Vandal Gonzo Militia Field Blend is a blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Gris and Riesling

Bright and deep ruby. A concentrated perfume of cassis, licorice and strawberry sorbet grows deeper with coastal scents of dried shells and crayfish bisque. Earthy notes of ironstone rock give way to dried rose petal and vanilla butter intrigue. A fresh and succulent entry with incredible length and firm driving, linear tannins. Fresh raspberry, wood spice, vanilla and peanut complexities linger on the finish. An intense, tight, lengthy and exciting wine.

Bright ruby with a purple tinge. Very fragrant brimming with red berries, dried Goji fruit and crisp, crusty blackberry pie. Savoury nuances of mulled wine spices, green peppercorn, dried blood orange peel and BBQ char, round out the enticing and seductive bouquet. Vibrant cherry, plum and raspberry fruit fill the palate effortlessly, with soft and pleasant tannins, lending textural support. Balanced acidity brings freshness and vibrancy, drawing out a fleshy length of flavour.
