Pizzini La Famiglia Arneis
The 2024 Pizzini La Famiglia Arneis from the renowned King Valley in Victoria is a true gem. With its pale straw color and hints of green, this wine is immediately alluring. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peach, citrus, and honeysuckle blend perfectly with subtle notes of almond and honey. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and refreshing, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Flavors of juicy pear, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage truly captures the essence of the Arneis grape, showcasing the pure fruit flavors and elegance this variety is known for. Enjoy this wine with seafood dishes or on its own as an aperitif. Cheers to the Pizzini family for another exceptional vintage!
Maude Pinot Gris
This Pinot Gris combines fruit from premium sites in Central Otago, including Maude's mature family owned vineyard in Wanaka, Mt Maude. This Pinot gris has typical aromas of ripe pear, quince and brioche lead onto a rich textured palate where whole bunch pressing and partial barrel fermentation has created complexity.
Pizzini Sangiovese
Fred Pizzini grew up in Italy and is bringing the taste of his homeland to the Australian dining table. His Sangiovese is one of the best examples in the country, with spicy, savoury fruit hiding a vein of mouth watering acid that is a hallmark of the variety. Delicious now - and will get better with bottle age!
Kumeu River Pinot Gris
This is a very fine Gris. Its elegant nose shows hints of citrus, grapefruit, musk and apricot while on the palate the wine is structured and remarkably tight with mineral characteristics supporting rich, tropical fruit. The acid is very fresh and the length impeccable.

Opulent, flushed with pear juice flavour with sighs of orange blossom and citrus.
Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Gris
Hungerford Hill Pinot Grigio
Lerida Estate Pinot Grigio
