A gold tinged straw wine in the glass leads to a nose abundant with pineapple, lemon curd, cream and cloves. Chalk derived minerality drives a long and juicy palate generously layered with yellow peach, pineapple and nectarine.

This is a concentrated Sauvignon Blanc in a typical Central Otago style. The wine displays wild gooseberry flavours intermingled with freshly cut hay and lemon notes; this moves into a full mid-palate and then the wine finishes with lingering passionfruit and rhubarb. This wine is ideal for fun-loving, responsible summer drinking.

The 2022 season was not without challenges with significant rain events leading into harvest. Careful fruit selection was required from two sections of organically grown vines around the winery (90%) and Andalane vineyard further down Conder Bend Road a mere 500m from the estate. Soils here are of the old riverbed type with fist sized stones composed of greywacke (a hard, dark type of sandstone streaked with quartz and feldspar), mixed alluvial gravels and silt. Consequently, vine canopies lack vigour, the fruiting zone is more exposed to the elements and yields are naturally lower. These factors produce an atypical style of Sauvignon Blanc.

An abundance of crushed fresh herbs and tomato leaf aromas that mingle with subtle notes of gooseberry, fennel and nettle. Dry and salty to taste, persistent flavours of lime and greengage plum are revealed alongside mouthwatering acidity. The fleshy palate has a lovely creamy texture and a bright juicy finish.

Aromatics are reminiscent of mandarin pith, wet stone and bees wax. Vibrant, intense, focused palate with orange, and stone fruit flavours held together by good line of juicy acidity and elegant texture.

An excellent Pinot - low yielding vines growing in calcium rich clay, within stoney subsoils derive a fine fruit. Extended brilliantly, sunny cool autumnal freshness has led to a wine of finesse and character.

Lifted aromatics of quince, spiced pears, stonefruits, beeswax and yellow florals.

Full bodied with trademark rose petal and lychee flavours joined by spices and marmalade complete with long finish.

Bountiful fresh fruit aromas and flavours of passionfruit and grapefruit accompanied by vegetable garden flavours of capsicum, tomato and green beans. This wine is a veritable smorgasbord of tastes
