WINE TASTING NOTES:
Yealands Estate Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc – Intense with flavours of lime and blackcurrant leaf, passionfruit and fresh herbs, layered with bright green citrus notes. The palate is textured and elegant, with the distinctive mineral finish that our Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is renowned for.
Astrolabe Albarino – A fresh, lively palate with white peach and tropical flavours, medium body and length and a chalky, mineral finish. Stone fruit and ripe citrus with some vanilla notes.
Kings Thorn Pinot Gris – Aromas of quince, nectarine and melon dominate the nose with a slight nuttiness stemming from the oak influence. The palate is rich and opulent with notes of stonefruit and brioche. The wine’s vibrant acidity and phenolic structure help it finish long and dry.
Dambuster Pinot Noir – This Pinot Noir has a mixture of red berry fruit, dark cherry and savoury spice aromas and has a beautiful ruby red appearance. Vibrant fruit forward flavours continue the length of the palate, supported by juicy acidity, sweet savoury oak and fine tannins.
Allan Scott Cecelia Brut– When the bottle is opened the wine “pops” into life and you are immediately met with a fruity and floral character with notes of blossom, apple, pear and hints of ripe red berry fruits. Fresh, soft fruit entry with lemon and appley complexity and a crisp, clean finish.
Te Pa Noble Sauvignon – With its golden yellow colour, the Noble Sauvignon Blanc features beautiful tropical aromas of honeycomb, tropical fruits, and pineapple. On the palate, notes of caramel, melon, nectarine, fig, and citrus stand out. A wine with lovely balance, lingering flavour and acidity. A rich and viscous dessert wine.

Hunters Mirumiru Rosé – Jane Hunter loves pink bubbles so the decision was made to create a MiruMiru

Nautilus Marlborough Cuvée – A favourite in the local New Zealand market, we have produced this sparkling wine since 1989, and it was included in Michael Cooper’s book 100 Must-Try New Zealand Wines. Made in the traditional method from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. It is aged on its lees for three years before being disgorged to develop delicious biscuity toasty flavours.
Saint Clair Dawn Méthode Traditionnelle – It’s a celebration of and tribute to Dawn Ibbotson – an amazingly positive women who enjoyed good wine and good health from 1914 – 2020 (105 years). Disgorged with 35 months ageing on lees, this wine is elegant and complex with a rich palate and fine mousse. Drink as an aperitif or match with freshly shucked oysters. Dawn Ibbotson is the driving inspiration behind the creation of the Dawn series. Based on positivity, generosity, dedication to the community, uncompromising values and a desire to be her best.

WINE TASTING NOTES:
Saint Clair Pioneer Block 28 Pinot Blanc – Perfectly balanced for immediate enjoyment, this wine will continue to evolve and reward over the next five years. Ripe citrus and greengage plum layered with citrus and grapefruit peel. This dry, refreshing crisp palate is versatile and will age gracefully with careful cellaring.

]]>Huia Sauvignon Blanc shows a good aromatic intensity with bright floral note of elderflower and lime blossom. The wine is layered with flavours ranging from guava, melon, gooseberry and lime zest.
Because a small percentage of the wine was aged in a little neutral oak, it has the complexity and softness to be a delicious match with food.
Seafood like fresh oysters, prawns, scallops, steamed mussels and marinated fish are a given but this little juicy number is a hit with seasonal asparagus and a wide variety of cheeses.

]]>Hans’ Comment:
Perfectly healthy, destemmed grapes allowed for a long cold soak to extract the superb flavours and beneficial antioxidants of the skins. I then let the must naturally progress through a long wild yeast fermentation and extended post maceration. After gentle pressing, the young wine was transferred into partly new French Barriques where it underwent the second natural malolactic fermentation. The minimal oxygen exchange over a long 30 months of maturation in the same barrels made all the difference. The wine and wood had time to marry together to form a richer, more complex and textured wine, able to age for many years in the bottle. We like you to enjoy this stately flagship wine at its full potential, very much like a “Grand Cru” Pomerol with many years of bottle ageing. And so we did, under perfect condition in our barrel hall for a further 3 years but without the hefty price tag! No fining. No filtration. Natural goodness.

]]>The rows of vines in this vineyard are planted at an unusual angle of 43 degrees northeast to south-west. Maritime climate. Slightly cooler than most of the Marlborough valley with a slower annual ripening period. Green capsicum with layers of freshly cut jalapeno and tropical passionfruit notes. A mineral and salty richness lead to a long lingering finish.
