Pale lime to pale straw. Subtle, yes definitive aromas of lime zest and grapefruit pulp with hints of brioche and fresh cashews. Palate has saline acidity that carry the citrus notes from nose to mouth. The savoury complexity provides the perfect counter-point for a Chardonnay that truly reflects its maritime origins
Pale golden straw with green hues. Subdued aromatics of manuka honey, lemon and wet stone. The palate is taut and textural with a phenolic backbone providing length to the sweet citrus and melon fruits.
This dense yet elegant wine offers black fruit, floral and spice aromas and flavors. The palate is silkily structured with layered fine tannins, culminating in a finish that gradually unwinds, revealing bright red berry and violets.
Dark cherry colour. Complex bouquet of violets, thyme, winter forest floor and glazed cherry. Soft on the palate with a mixture or red and dark fruits persisting toward a fine, dry finish. A wine showing great finesse despite it’s firm structural frame.
The vivid hues and flavours of Central Otago are contrasted with the savoury, brooding characters of Martinborough. This temperamental grape demands utmost sensitivity and care in the cellar and our quality obsessed winemaking team are essential components of this programme. Both the Te Muna Road Pinot Noir from Martinborough and the biodynamically farmed Calvert Vineyard Pinot Noir from Central Otago embody poise and complexity that is a testament to the vignerons of the land and the skilled hands of our winemakers.
