Accolades:5 stars – Michael Cooper“Who says Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t age well? The 2014 vintage, now on sale, is a single-vineyard wine, based on Sauvignon Blanc and a ‘splash’ of Viognier. Tasted in late 2022, it is light gold, with a highly fragrant, complex bouquet. Weighty and rich, it ...

A beautiful and elegant wine with fresh aromas of blackcurrant and boysenberry fruits supported by hints of chocolate, vanilla, sage and toasted spices. The palate is savoury and mouth-filling - black cherries and a subtle earthiness blend seamlessly with soft leathery tannins.

Apple, pear, almond and nectarine aromatics are rich and lifted with floral notes. There is plenty of weight from the waiheke clay soils with lines of volcanic and seaspray sourced salinity and sherbet acidity, all supported with juicy round fruit.

A stylistic departure from your traditional Waiheke Chardonnay. Brioche, lemon blossom, fresh nectarine and a 'struck match' flintiness embellish the nose. Fine phenolic texture and a mineral acidity form the building blocks of a charming palate. Impressive fruit concentration and creamy mid-palate ...

Rich in colour and expressive on the nose the 2018 Tulia shows all the hallmarks of a late disgorged vintage wine; butter with a sprinkle of salt, baked pears, and soft brioche. The palate is fresh and lively with the green apple acidity retained along with a further sprinkle of salt on the finish. No sugar was added at dosage, the Tulia 2018 is extra brut in style.

The 2019 Kulta Totto Syrah has a complex aromatic profile with smokey peaty characters with an herbaceous lift from the stem influence along with notes of blue and boysenberry and a nod towards cured meats. The oak is very lightly toasted also providing an edge of lift from the woody oak aromatics. ...

Pronounced ÒToo-teeÓ the 2019 Tytti is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The components are chosen for their fruit purity, texture, structure and concentration. The result is a wine of stature which rises from the glass with pure black fruit characters, hints ...
