Crafted by Will and Rachel Hoare, Novum stems from decades of hands-on Marlborough experience, including a long stint managing the iconic Fromm estate. The Riverbrook Vineyard in Marlborough's Southern Valleys supplies the fruit, planted on clay-rich soils that naturally restrict yields and yield exceptional depth. In the winery, intervention stays low to let site character lead. Whole-bunch pressing, wild yeast fermentation, and ageing in French oak punch up texture without masking fruit purity. Malolactic fermentation is handled judiciously to preserve structural line and drive. Expect concentrated white peach, citrus rind, and crushed flint on the nose, leading into a tightly woven palate of nectarine, toasted hazelnut, and striking mineral acidity. It offers the tension of top-flight White Burgundy with distinct Marlborough clarity, making it an outstanding investment for any serious cellar.

Sandro Mosele continues to take Kooyong's estate wines to heights unseen for the price. Focus, linear acidity and supreme elegance are all hallmarks of Sandro's work and all can be seen here. Along with great precision, comes lovely fruit characters also that work with a whole range of Asian-fusion cuisine.

Pascal Jolivet is an authority when it comes to beautiful, crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc from its ancestral home. Wild ferment and no added yeast, Pascal Jolivet is elegant, powerful and balanced. Characters of wet slate the unique profile of gun flint. Extraordinary.

This unfiltered Chardonnay was made at Giaconda by Rick Kinzbrunner using traditional techniques. Quite sublime buttery richness with perfect balance of acid and oak integration.

An opulent Pinot Noir made from select parcels of fruit showcasing its Marlborough origin gloriously. An aromatic wine with black fruit and spice on the nose. The palate is rich, also with black fruit, but a hint of red fruit to add unexpected freshness.Textural and deep, this will age for up to ten years with grace (although its ready to enjoy now). The fruit is 100% destemmed then aged in 30% new oak. Novum use small parcels of fruit from specially selected sites on established Marlborough vineyards to craft the best wines and expressions of terroir possible. Their first vintage arrived in 2016. Novums primary focus is on Syrah, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
