2009 Sauvignon BlancAnother great season, slightly cooler than 2008, which produced high levels of natural acidity. Hand picked as always this wine is typical of our vineyard it has aromas of cut grass, nettles, citrus peel and a backbone of passionfruit. Leading to a long intense and vibrant palate with more weight and texture as a result of 6 weeks lees contact and a lingering finish that smacks of cool climate freshness.

Unseasonal rains determined the style of this vintage, handpicked as always but 3 weeks earlier than usual, this vintage is definitely Gringio. Gently pressed and only free run juice retained, this crisp clean style expresses lemon zest overlaid with cut pear, with a mineral undertone finishing with a zest of grapefruity acidity.
We expect this wine to remain fresh and easy drinking for a further 3-4 years.

Another great season; slightly cooler than 2008, just perfect for Riesling. Light straw green, this wine has delicately perfumed talc and fresh cut lime aromas, a delicious smack of lime juice on the palate. Finishing long and clean with the perfect balance of acidity and the barest hint of sweetness.
Attractive as it is now, this wine will develop richer honeyed notes as it matures.
Drink now to 2019.

The wine has lifted fruit aromas of peach and fresh apricots, a palate both taut and tight with an unusual freshness and vitality and a finish clean and zesty with a delicious tang of peach sorbet. It is an ideal accompaniment with fresh fruits and fruit salads or serve chilled as an aperitif any time.

A challenging season, post the 2007 drought, the vines flourished with higher than average rainfall, and cool ripening towards the end of the season intensified the fruit flavours and delivered this fresh and elegant wine. Musk, a little honeysuckle and lemon blossom overlay a restrained yet subtle palate with lively balancing acidity. This wine loves a good curry. It will become richer and broader with 2-3 years cellaring.

This season showed the strengths of our high altitude vineyard, with most of the country ravaged by drought we had one of our best vintages. Picked slightly earlier than previous years, the wine is highly perfumed with strawberry, cherry and red currants and complex mushroom and forest floor notes, layered with a spicier character not seen before.
The palate is bright and delicious with deceptive length and a fine tannin finish. A great summer or winter drink with salmon / duck and pork

This release is a Cool Climate Cabernet with a dash of Merlot.
The wine has been gently resting in older oak barrels for 3 years. A Complex nose of violets and berries with spicy notes of cinnamon and anise, the palate is dense and tightly structured and has a fine persistent tannin finish.
This wine will reward further cellaring up to 2010.
A great wine with red meats, and especially good with Lamb.
