Oyster Bay Pinot Noir is surprisingly a serious complex Pinot. Intense cherry and gamey, earthy notes are enhanced with quality French oak and the finish is spicy savoury and long. Terrific value.

A boutique wine brand from New Zealands iconic Marlborough region, Hawkesbridge brings to life sophisticated sparkling wines, created to honour the regions legacy for quality and flavour. This Chardonnay-dominant traditionally-made Méthode shows aromas of grilled lemon, hazelnut and brioche. Lovely cool-climate acidity and excellent length define this deliciously drinkable, moreish wine perfect for celebrations.

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

Noble Fellows Pinot Gris provides classic Pinot Gris flavour with notes of pears, apples and spices wrapped in a lovely round palate. This rich, European-style white wine is a great bottle to bring to celebrations or casual hangouts with friends.

Rapaura Springs have turned plenty of heads with their current releases - the Reserve Pinot Noir is little short of jaw dropping. Drinking beautifully now expect a nose that's ripe, plush and jammed full of seductive fruit and spice smells, while textbook silky mouth-feel leads to a long fine finish. Drink it with five spice duck and rice.

Rich and fresh flavour, bursting with juciy raspberry and cherry, framed by integrated savoury oak. Hints of liquorice and clove are accompanied by layers of delicate tanning, creating an opulent texture that flows to a smooth, lingering finish.

Vibrant and fruity with juicy acid drive through to the finish with respectful ripe tannins. Designed for early drinking to enjoy on release. Perfect for lighter food pairings such as a savoury duck salad with a fresh fruit-based dressing.

Cooler blackcurrant, violet and spicy herb aromatics lead to a seamless elegantly poised wine showing lots of finesse and drive in a feminine style. A wine of bright fruit characters. Will cellar for up to 6-10 years.

Approachable, generous and flavoursome with a silken elegance. Berry fruits come to the fore with gentle dried herb notes in the background. Medium bodied, the palate is finely structured with lovely soft lingering tannins which integrate perfectly with the soft supportive acid and plush fruit.

Central Otago Pinot's are generally more user-friendly than Burgundy; Rabbit Ranch is very soft fruit-forward style with soft tannins; best enjoyed young.
