Juicy and vibrant Aussie red, bursting with ripe berries and a spicy kick.
This award winning Pinot Noir is both sophisticated and “classic”, expressing intensity and poise from great sites in Central Otago.
Great concentration with intricately woven layers of sweet red and blue/black fruit, dried herb and distinctive earthy flavours complementing a highly focused palate with great intensity and length
Deep inky purple. Pepper and ripe berry aromas abound, followed by a lively, aromatic and vibrant palate, with a lush smooth finish that engulfs the senses.
The wine shows bright raspberry, pomegranate and red currant fruits as well as cherry pit and rose petals. The palate is fine and chewy with more red fruits as well as cinnamon, mace and clove characters. It is precise and well defined. While the wine is not intended for long term cellaring it will benefit from 3 to 5 years rest.
Juicy red berries and a hint of spice dance on the palate, finishing smooth and elegant.
Brilliant garnet with flashes of purple. This is a very aromatic wine with bright raspberry and perfumed characters. There are notes of musk, rose petals and lavender. Juicy red berries are interwoven with florals, confection and sweet spices. the light to medium-bodied palate has a fine, silky texture and remains fresh and bright throughout.
Deep plum with a bright rim. The deep plum notes of ripe, primary shiraz fruit, opening to sweet, subdued florals and pepperberry. Broody, dark fruits and savoury flavour are encased in a rustic frame of gravelly, spicy tannin.
Deep claret with a bright red rim. Beautifully fragrant with red currant and mulberry fruits. Varietal tobacco leaf, cassis and choc mint are complimented by fresh cedar notes. An intense palate of cabernet fruits, delicious, mouth-watering acidity and purposefully firm, structured tannins make it clear that this is a wine with the presence and style to age into the next decade.
Deep black plum at the core with a pure, mulberry hued rim. Plums and blackberries at the fore with mulberry, five spice and pepper. The gentle influence of creamy, vanillin oak amplifies the deep, ripe berry fruit. A generous and fruit-forward palate, loaded with plums, cassis and milk chocolate. Rich fruits are laced with vanilla bean, cedar and graphite, finishing with fine, powdery tannins.
Brooding purple and black at the centre, the wine stays remarkably dark before hitting a clean scarlet edge. Layers of dark plum, mulberry and liquorice are seasoned with cedar, cinnamon, and toasted oak spice. Earthy, fruitful, and rich, the bouquet is generous and complex. While the vineyard fruit shows its own natural and highly individual shape, the palate remains completely serious in structure and style.
The dark, concentrated fruit rides a wave of grippy, rolling tannins, speaking of long warm days on deep sandy soils. From an elite vineyard block in the prime of its maturity, and the strong 2019 vintage, cellaring potential is a given. Drink in its youth from four years and through to 25 years of age.
Vibrant and textural palate. Ribbons of blue and red berry fruit are tied to deep plums and dark chocolate - lush velvety fruit tannins, framed and seasoned with fine grained French oak.
Silky smooth, with supple tannins aligning the red fruits, blackberry and liquorice.
Very dark, very deep, and very powerful - an impressive array of dark fruits
Powerful, with a ripe core of tannins and a long, velvety finish - intertwined berry crumble, forest floor, cassis and blackberries, married with grilled chestnuts and toasted breadcrumbs.
Blueberry, mulberry, and toasty grilled almond aromas on the nose - clean, bright & fresh palate - delicious!
An average of 20% whole-bunch across multiple parcels. Some wines racked early, while others remain on lees until the last minute. After blending, there's a further month of maturation on light lees in reorganised oak before racking and bottling in-house, with no filtration.
