The Pass Pinot Gris 2022

If you're a fan of the luscious style of Alsatian Pinot Gris but crave a little more briskness at a school night price, try The Pass Pinot Gris from Central Otago.

It's got all the great hallmarks of the 'Gris' style, plush fruit, spice and texture galore.Think poached quince, fragrant green pears, pink lady apples and whiffs of warming cinnamon and clove spice.

Charteris Hunter Semillon 2022

A classic Hunter Semillon showing the regional hallmark bright lemony lift and a citrus blossom perfume, but with an almost subliminal tropical hint. Kaffir lime leaf and Gin & Tonic like botanical aromas add power and depth to the nose. Lemon and finger lime carry through to the palate with abundance, juiciness, and a delicate mineral talc line.

Milton Te Arai Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2021

As much as we love a racy, knife-edge sharp Chenin from the Loire Valley, we are equally advocates for the indulgent style Milton brings to the table. Rich and generous, like poached quinces melting on your tongue, wrapped in a frame of spicy oak. Plus, you can enjoy this indulgent wine guilt free - it's certified organic and biodynamic!

Reed "Siren" Waitaki Riesling 2023

Producer Notes - "New Zealand is the reason I started making wine; a place that has called me and I am listening. The wine is called 'Siren' because before I had ever heard of the Waitaki Valley, its wines found me in a glass. It was as though I was smacked in the face with a handful of crushed limestone whilst being swept below the sea and stung by an electric eel. I knew exactly what to do with that … more

Framingham F-Series Sauvignon Blanc 2022

An atypical style of Sauvignon Blanc (for Marlborough) that is textural with tastes of earth and mineral rather than fruit. Fruit with good exposure to light was hand harvested from a discrete one-acre block on the estate that we call the Quail Trail. Bunch pressed with no juice clarification and fermented with uninoculated ‘yeasts’ left on lees for 11 months prior to bottling. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle. - Winery Notes
