An Italian grape variety from the Abruzzi region. Spicy cherry stone with leather and tar tannins make this a new taste sensation.
Cherry stone, tar and molasses are evident on the nose whilst the palate is intense and fruit driven. Bold, bright, boysenberries interplay with cedar and spice coming from the fine grained French oak. Currently delicious, but would easily cellar well into the 2020’s.

5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
Ripe cherry and plum fruit characters are complemented on the nose by spicy, toasty oak. The flavour is all about fruit freshness, with a mouth-filling, supple finish. Enjoy with your favourite lamb dish or a full-flavoured Beef Bourguignon.

The Navarro Correas reserve wines are sensational. These Mendoza reds are rich, full and tasty. We are pleased to include them into our superb Argentine catalogue and further cement Winesale.co.nz as New Zealand's leading Argentine wine seller. 
A Cabernet with ruby red intense color, aromas and flavors of currant, tobacco and blackberries with notes of herbs and paprika. Structured tannins, medium bodied body and velvety texture. Cabernet Sauvignon lovers will be impressed!

Fantastic Chardonnay from the reserve range of Michel Torino. Lovely aroma of apple, pineapples and tropical fruit together with honey and butter. The taste is soft and clean on the palate due to malolactic fermentation in barrels. Wonderful pear and apple notes with milk and bread presence. Acidity is well balanced. This wine will develop beautifully in the bottle.

Our 2015 Reserve Merlot is a barrel selection of our finest Merlot and was made up of 18% new French oak. It has intense aromatics of black doris plum and blackberries intermingling with earthy spice and cinnamon. The aroma’s on this wine are already very complex upon its release and will only continue to evolve over time. Rich and mouth-filling across the palate with penetrating flavours of plums and spice all beautifully held together by just the right amount of fine French oak.

Mid ruby, with a garnet hue. Ripe plum and red berry fruits, with savoury oak char and spice notes. This wine is medium bodied wine with a soft, velvety texture. Fresh berry fruits and oak spice are abundant on the palate and persist on the lengthy finish.

New 2017 Vintage
Soft red fruits interacting nicely with the fresh blackcurrant notes. The colour is a pretty pale pink with aromas of freshly picked strawberries and raspberries. 

The flag ship for any Wairarapa winery, Pinot Noir. This is a must buy and try for any Pinot drinker. We love this wine and we are sure you will love it too!
This attractive, soft Pinot Noir shows dark plum and cherry flavours with fragrant fresh hay and cedary oak characters. On the palate, the vibrant cherry flavours come through with a hint of spicy toasty oak and velvety tannins.

Fruit from Marlborough adds acidity to the wine, Hawkes Bay gives stone fruit flavours, Waipara delivers beautiful aromatics, blossom. This Pinot Gris entices you with fresh pear, peach, nuances of almond meal. Rich fruit with a touch of creaminess and subtle spice leads into a lively, off-dry finish.
