A lovely and unusual Sauvignon Blanc from Hawkes Bay. It is barrel-fermented with a touch of Semillon and Sauvignon Gris. This wine has aromas of citrus blossom, pear and stone fruit and will evolve in the bottle for five years from harvest.

It is refreshingly sour and aromatic and yet clean and crispy, and carbonated Sake Bubbles stimulates your taste spots.

With a name that directly translates from French as 'The Soil', the Le Sol Syrah (Shiraz) pays homage to the terroir that creates this rich and evocative wine. With the trademark Gimblett Gravels stony soil, with exhibits amazing refinement and breeding while not relinquishing body and complexity.

PETER LEHMANN Black Queen Sparkling Shiraz, Barossa Valley

Aromas of nougat, brioche, sea spray. On the palate, cut apple, fine bead, creamy, toasty and fresh finish. The relatively high percentage of Pinot Noir presents bottle age characters early delivering a wine of superior complexity. The minimal handling of the base wine delivers a creamy mousse.

The 2024 vintage delivered beautifully ripe, small-berried fruit. In the glass, it’s deeply coloured with heady aromas of red plum, raspberry, rose petal, and spice. The palate is silky and seductive on entry, building to a surprisingly long, structured finish.

A pale straw colour with vivid green hues. Gunflint, almond and lemon zest characterise the aroma. The wine has a steely edged structure and the mid-palate is filled with white peach and oyster-shell flavours. It draws into a long, spicy finish.
