WINE TASTING NOTES:

Giesen Organic Syrah – This limited edition organic Syrah is from the Southern Valleys, from high-density, certified organic vineyards. Every attention is lavished upon our organic vines which are hand tended, picked and sorted. An intriguing, elegant Syrah with violet floral on the nose, followed by layers of dark blackberries and juniper offset by earthy, smokey character framed by a dash of oak and spice.

Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc – Pale straw in colour. Pure focused fruit aromas of ripe citrus, white peach, a pleasant fragrance of white blossom. An underlying yeast influence is attained from a naturally occurring fermentation in old oak barrels for a period of 18 months. A complex full bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc with a chalky minerality and fresh herbal influence, complimented by a slightly funky reductive edge.

Zephyr Chardonnay – The colour is bright green, straw. Nose is spice, citrus, lemon, mealy, subtle funk. The palate is texture, phenolics, chewy onion skin and oak spice.

Saint Clair Block 3 Sauvignon Blanc – Green capsicum with layers of freshly cut jalapeno and tropical passionfruit notes. A mineral and salty richness lead to a long lingering finish.

Lawson Dry Hills Reserve Pinot Noir – This wine offers a complex array of aromatics ranging from dark, berry fruits through to savoury forest floor characters. The palate is softy and silky with exuberant berry and cherry flavours. This wine has a full mid-palate, good length and a rich, flavoursome finish.

Astrolabe Albarino – A fresh, lively palate with white peach and tropical flavours, medium body and length and a chalky, mineral finish.

Aromatic and subtle, expressive nose carrying cherry and a wisp of chocolate and nut flavours. Mirrors the traditional European style with well-structured body and good concentration with lingering oak length. The refined structured palate is long and firmly tannic while retaining its elegance.

We use strictly organic practices to grow and manage the fruit and create the wine.

A limit of two bottles per purchase.

The Darling Chardonnay / Huia Pinot Noir / Te Whare Ra Toru / Giesen Organic Syrah / Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc  / Clos Henri Pinot Noir

Average price per bottle $44.92 now $38.18!

TASTING NOTES:

The Darling Chardonnay – This wine has been made in an old world style with minimal intervention. It is soft with great texture and has flavours of citrus, melon, white peach and a touch of flint. A refined mid palate, with great length of flavour.

Huia Pinot Noir – Black red fruits and smoky, savoury characters show on the nose. The palate has dark cherry, hints of blackberry, spice, chocolate and vanilla pod filling out a savoury, earthy, well-balanced Pinot Noir.

Te Whare Ra Toru – TORU (which means “three” in Maori) is an aromatic blend we first created over 12 years ago and was the first of it’s kind in New Zealand. It is a delicious, co-fermented “field blend” of three varieties – Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris.

Giesen Organic Syrah – An intriguing, elegant Syrah with violet floral on the nose, followed by layers of dark blackberries and juniper offset by earthy, smokey character framed by a dash of oak and spice.

Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc – Pale straw in colour. Pure focused fruit aromas of ripe citrus, white peach, a pleasant fragrance of white blossom. An underlying yeast influence is attained from a naturally occurring fermentation in old oak barrels for a period of 18 months. A complex full bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc with a chalky minerality and fresh herbal influence, complimented by a slightly funky reductive edge.

Clos Henri Pinot Noir – Density and roundness with a spicy, complex palate, Clos Henri serves as a testament to the complexity our Broadbridge and Wither Clay Soils can lend to Pinot Noir. Supple tannins give a lengthy and rewarding finish.
