NEW, fragrant, expressive.
A new import from down under, the Cirro wines offer a Sauvignon Blanc, a rose and a Pinot Gris as well.
This Pinot doles out fragrant aromas of sunwarmed raspberries and blueberries, a potpourri of cedar chips and dried roses, and a core of fine spice and damp earth. It is juicy, has loads of expressive berry flavours and wonderful levity. The finish is long and trails flavours of spiced cocoa and cedar.

Juicy, fragrant, expressive.
Once again, a juicy and expressive Pinot with fragrant aromas of sunwarmed raspberries and blueberries, a potpourri of cedar chips and violets, and a core of fine spice, tealeaf and damp earth. It is juicy, has loads of expressive berry flavours and wonderful levity. The finish is long and trails flavours of spice and earth.

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.
