Juicy, fragrant, approachable.
It's been a few vintages since I tasted this Pinot Noir but from my recollection it is just as juicy and expressive as ever. It's an earthy version, which suggests leather and tealeaf, forest floor and beet greens underscored by fragrant cherry, raspberry, violets and fine toasted spice. It's light-to-medium-bodied and juicy; approachable and nicely balanced.

NEW, refreshing, verdant.
A refreshing Marlborough Savvy with gooseberry, elderflower leaf, glass clippings, passionfruit, jalapeno, lime and green apple aromas. As expected it is tangy, verdant and citrusy on the palate. A straightforward but snappy white for salads, starters, goat cheese and asparagus quiche.

Tangy, refreshing, snappy.
This refreshing Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc punches out of the glass with bold peachy aromas woven with honey, lime, candied lemons and snappy green apples. Like the nose the palate is fleshy and expressive. Expect gooseberries and green apples with citrus peel flavours dangling on the finish.
Racy.
A snappy white for salads, starters, white fish, goat cheese and asparagus quiche.
