It’s delightfully fruited and elegantly expressed, showing Nashi pear, rockmelon and nectarine notes with a touch of spicy overtone. The succulent palate delivers beautifully rounded mouthfeel together with fine texture and bright acidity, making it refreshing and immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2026." Sam Kim

This Pinot Gris shows enticing aromas of summer stone fruit, mandaring and Nashi Pear, complemented by hints of ginger and spices.  A medium-bodied palate with bright acidity, balanced by a subtle sweetness and a mineral finish.

"Offering subtle complexity with ripe fruit notes, showing sweet cherry, dried herb, warm spice and toasted nut characters on the nose, followed by a silky palate that’s juicy and lingering. Well rounded and smooth, offering friendly drinking." Sam Kim

A beautiful expression of Marlborough’s cooler-climate elegance, the 2023 Stanrock Pinot Noir strikes a perfect balance between vibrant primary fruit and savory sophistication.

On the nose, the wine opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe Bing cherries and wild summer berries. As it breathes, deeper layers reveal themselves: a touch of dried thyme, warm baking spices, and a hint of toasted hazelnut from subtle oak maturation. This complexity provides an intellectual edge to its naturally bright, approachable character.
