This exceptional rose is made from 100% Pinot Noir. Delicate salmon-pink with a mass of tiny bubbles, the wine offers a seamless balance of subtle cherry and almond hints combined with a dry acidity. Dry, yet fresh and elegant, this wine leaves a lasting impression of opulence and splendour.

"An unusual, distinctive and appealing Central Otago style with a strong wild herb and spice component adding extra interest to plum and dark cherry - evidence of a cooler site perhaps. Dense, smooth-textured Pinot Noir with attractive complexity and considerable length" - Bob Campbell, www.bobswinereviews.com

New Zealand's Best Merlot Cabernet - John Hawkesby, National Radio

This is indeed an exquisite wine. It is of an amazingly good quality a world beater. New Zealand can make very good wines, however the bar has been set. If we all could make wines like this, we would be living in heaven.

 A lighter red from 2008 naturally showing some bottle age and savouriness, that is the ideal partner to a good spaghetti bolognaise. The wine is honest and unpretentious.

 The wine is vibrant and juicy with excellent ripe varietal tastes and crisp refreshing acidity on the finish.
