Only the best grapes were selectively hand-picked from single vineyard low yielding older vines, producing an exceptional wine with ample ripe tannins and a firm structure with a rich, supple texture. A wine with elegance and concentration not often encountered in New Zealand red wines. Deliciously drinkable now and will cellar superbly for up to 20 years. More

Sauvignon Blanc
Initially we struggled with this wine as there was sulphur present but after a while the tropical fruit flavours began to take over and there is certainly good weight here. One of the issues with wine tastings is that you have to judge the wines very soon after they are opened. More

Marlborough
Gewürztraminer
Our Gee-Whizz was harvested with soft hands, then gently squeezed like a lover, and fermented slowly to retain the intense Fiasco flavour. We’ve had a ball getting it from vine to bottle and now it’s your turn to enjoy our wine, the one that can only be pronounced after a few glasses! More

Voss Estate Late Harvest Riesling 2006

Martinborough
Riesling
Very much in the continuation of our popular style. Seductively sweet but still with fresh acidity. Hints of orange peel, buttered toast & lime. Very clean on the palate with good intensity of flavour. Packaged in our tall, elegant 375 ml Bellissima bottles. WiIl age nicely & become deep golden in colour with opulent honey & butterscotch after three to four years. We suspect many of you, however, will consume it young for the purity of flavours and the delightful balance between sweetness & acidity. Drink now til the end of 2008. More

Villa Maria Cellar Selection Pinot Gris 2007

From the end of January to harvest rainfall was low and the days were sun-drenched. This allowed for the grapes to be harvested in prime condition, and at the ideal point in their flavour development. More
