Rule # 6: Have it both ways.Big oaky Chardonnays are one thing, and fruity elegant Chardonnays are quite another.  As individual winemakers, we'll admit we've had one or two debates over their relative merits.  In your hands is the result of our mission to showcase the best of both styles.  We've...

Rule No.2: Go your own waySweetly fruited Pinot Noir is world famous in Marlborough, but we’ve made it our own by including a few whole bunches. It’s a tricky process, and much more labour-intensive, but when done well it turns the wine to velvet. The stems build silkier tannins and lend a...
