A lively Chardonnay with citrus aromas hinting at mature lime and grapefruit.

The palate is driven by a beautiful fresh acidity and delivers a texture driven very persistent finish.

Lime, white peach and citrus aromatics bounce out of the glass followed by an elegant minerally derived schist laden Alexandra style Riesling showing freshness, drive and poise. Off-dry style.

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

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.

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.

A sophisticated, pure and expressive interpretation of this popular Margaret River blend with enticing minerality and savoury undertones. Pale straw-gold in colour. Immediately lifted, perfumed and floral with varietal purity. Fresh lime curd, passionfruit pulp, guava and honeydew melon with hints of cashew butter. Exotic savoury aromas of spring herbs, freshly picked dill, white Jasmine and waxy flowers begin to emerge with time in glass. The palate is soft and luscious upon entry, generous guava and grapefruit with a rounded, fleshy fruit profile. Structure is provided through a quenching preserved lemon acid-line, with gently puckering persistence rounding out an extremely moreish palate.

Pale straw with a green and golden tinge. Savoury, citrus and stone support the elegant, flinty note of the classic Heytesbury perfume. Delicate hints of coastal herb and green tea sit with a little soft cheese and candle wax. The pure, fine satin polish of this vintage is special, showing serious precision of al dente ripeness. A typically powerful and tightly held acid line holds a soft, full core, showing amazing restraint with incredible balance and a lightly pithy finish.

2020 was a stunning vintage that will define ‘rare and fine’ with low yields and fantastic quality. Bright golden straw in colour. Opens with nashi pear, lychee and dried forest leaves, while deep layers of Geraldton wax, chamomile, sea salt, sumac and crispy chicken skin waft through gently; an exotic aromatic experience. Fresh and comfortable, with a lovely, broad fruit entry that polishes up to a powdery, dry tannin finish. Medium-bodied with hints of orange zest and fresh, bitter-sweet Passion fruit pip make the palate refreshing, yet densely complete.

Intense flavour of apples, pears, honey with other white fruits and acacia flower.

Dry and medium body with perfect acidity.

A classic representation of Sauvignon Blanc from the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, bursting with tropical fruit characters found in this warmer subregion.
