When it comes to making a top port, a lot of time, care and perseverance are required and this costs money. So to get a 15 year old tawny for such a small amount is a real treat. This one is one of those "hard to put down" wines.

Without a doubt, No.1 Family Estate is New Zealand's premier maker of fine fizz. You would expect them to be when the family comes from the home of bubbly, Champagne France.

A full-bodied wine with a soft, velvet texture, supporting dark fruit flavours and a firm, lingering finish

Traditional Burgundian techniques and minimal handling has produced a Pinot Noir with an intense bouquet of cherries and plums. Flavors of tobacco and spice complement a rich silky palate with a purity of fruit and finely integrated tannin structure. This wine displays the poetic characteristics of the fickle and gratifying variety Pinot Noir.

The name says it all, quality, class, stunning wine!

The 2005 vintage is an exceptional Chardonnay offering a sophisticated, soft textured wine with restrained flavours of grapefruit, melon and a subtle blend of nut, spicy oak and lees characters.
