Lawsons Dry Hills Reserve Pinot Gris

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 18:43:49 +0000

Light straw in colour with aromas of white peach, tinned pears and freshly-baked apple pie. This is a dry wine but with a soft and luscious mouthfeel, nice weight and a touch of acidity on the finish that provides lovely balance.

‘The Bubble Box’ Case of Four

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 21:56:01 +0000

‘The Bubble Box’ is 4-pack selection of our favourite Marlborough Sparkling wines.

Allan Scott Cecelia Brut / Hunters Mirumiru Rosé / Nautilus Marlborough Cuvée / Saint Clair Dawn Méthode Traditionnelle

Average price per bottle was $42.25 now $35.91

WINE TASTING NOTES:

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.

Hunters Mirumiru Rosé – Jane Hunter loves pink bubbles so the decision was made to create a MiruMiru Rose. Wonderfully blush pink colour. Aromas of subtle strawberry and raspberry with a touch of fresh brioche. The palate is refined with freshness and balanced acidity.

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.

Greywacke Pinot Gris Marlborough

Thu, 27 May 2021 18:13:40 +0000

TASTING NOTE Whiffs of a virtual cake shop: raspberry lamingtons, strawberry compote and vanilla cream, Turkish delight and candied quince, sticky figs and smoky manuka honey. The palate is silky and sumptuous – an off-dry, textural wine of intense richness, laced with a citrusy, sherbet-like zest.

VITICULTURE Much of the fruit for this wine is from the Selection Ovaille and Mission clones grown at Wrekin Terrace Vineyard in the Brancott Valley, a valley floor site on gravelly clay-loam soils typical of the Southern Valleys. A smaller parcel of the Entav 52 clone (known for its small bunch and berry size) was grown at Riverbrook Vineyard in Rapaura, in young alluvial soils containing high proportions of greywacke river stones. The vineyards are trained on a two-cane VSP (vertical shoot positioning) trellis and crop thinning is carried out to target a modest yield of 7.5 T/Ha.

The Darling Pinot Gris Marlborough

Intense aromas of pear and spice are the first thing you will notice. This follows through on the palate while the barrel-fermented portion adds a softness and texture to the wine while also adding great length of flavour.

The wine finishes deliciously dry with a bright citrus acidity.
