New Zealand

From a single vineyard in Hawkes Bay, North Island and produced by the collaboration between winemakers Fiona Turner and Matt Thomson. A restrained savoury palete of black fruit with hints of pepper and spice.

From the hastings area of hawkes Bay, this 100% Pinot Noir fruit from a 100ha site. A nose of juicy red fruit character is followed by a delicate, soft Pinot Palate.

Sourced from fruit of Raukawa, Haumona and gimblett Gravels. 100% Chardonnay, both steel and barrel fermented and a portion of oak aging. A lovely nose of broad, white fruit with a yeasty, creamy nose followed by and elegant, refined palate of citrus fruit.

A blend of 98% Syrah and 2% Viognier from the Gimblett Gravels and Pa Bridge area of Hawke Bay. Cool steel fermentation is followed by 10 months in Barrique. An excellent savoury, gamey, red fruit nose with a palate of aromatic, red fruit.

The Cellar Selection Chardonnay has citrus and nectarine flavours backed up with sweet oak and lees stirred complexity. It is made in an early drinking style, but will comfortably cellar for the next 2-3 years.

This Pinot Noir very much a New World style with typically varietal black cherry aromas along with dark berry and cherry flavours, backed up with ripe, smooth tannins and a long finish. This is a food-friendly style that will benefit from cellaring for up to 6 years.

A complex and elegant wine with intense aromas of blackcurrant, crushed lemongrass and thyme, mingled with passionfruit and melon highlights. On the palate, underlying ripe fruit and mineral notes from the grapes grown in the Blind River sub region of Marlborough combine well with the more tropical notes of passionfruit and melon from the Wairau Valley vineyards. A stylish and pleasingly rich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with vibrant aromatics and a fine balance of acidity leading to a lingering finish.

Staete Landt is a reference to the great Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. This is a wonderful, ripe, oily, fat example with gooseberry and passion fruit.

Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay from its inception for 25 years and instrumental in the international recognition which Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc enjoys now. The name 'Greywacke' was adopted by Kevin for his first Marlborough vineyard located in Rapaura.

This is a really great value Sauvignon Blanc made by Graham Avery. This is a ripe and opulent Sauvignon Blanc with an outstanding gooseberry and passion fruit palate and keen acidity. Delicious.
