Well-balanced table wines.

Well-balanced table wines.

Individual parcels of Tempranillo and Merlot, grown in Craggy Range's Hawke's Bay Vineyards are carefully selected for balanced flavour and freshness. Harvested, then gently pressed for careful colour and flavour extraction. Brilliant blush rose in colour. Lifted juniper and rosewater perfume with underlying crushed wild berry fragrance. The palate has a textural succulence of raspberry and pomegranate fruits, finely balanced with a savoury phenolic line. Delicious.

Made from multiple parcels of Chardonnay clones planted on the stony soils within the Gimblett Gravels Vineyard, each parcel contributes a unique character to the wine. Pale lime to pale straw. Vibrant aromas of white peach flesh, freshly toasted hazelnuts and brioche. Effortlessly flavourful and balanced, with an abundance of fruit intensity and richness wrapped by a saline acid line giving vitality.

The cool yet sunny environment of Craggy Range's Te Awanga Vineyard near Cape Kidnappers allows the development of intense Chardonnay flavours in the grapes, captured using traditional winemaking techniques seen in the Chablis region of France. The wine's colour transforms into a pale straw hue, instantly evoking the coastal essence of the vineyard. The bouquet carries hints of oyster shells, sea spray, and cashews, further reinforcing its seaside character. A sense of vibrancy and freshness on the palate is complemented by lively acidity that doesn't compromise flavour. The taste of fresh lemon curd and subtle oak adds richness and makes for a delicious and invigorating palate.

Pale golden straw. Intensely varietal from first opening. Lavender, rose petal and freshly squeezed lime juice notes all jump from glass. Palate is both deeply complex and immediately enjoyable. Classical floral and citrus notes steam through a remarkably textural palate, whilst an arrow head of acidity drives through the centre but is perfectly balanced by deft residual sugar. An upright wine that will stand for the ages.

Grown on the lower terrace at Te Muna Road, this wine shows a unique level of texture and complexity. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality while the rocky soils gives intensity of the fruit. Fresh kaffir lime leaf and white floral aromatics. The palate shows an abundance of fruit intensity in tune with the textural elements and crystalline finish that this vineyard is loved for. Sophisticated and moreish.

With his inspiring energy and lifelong dedication to pioneering progression in the wine industry, Cuvar is the vision of legendary wine entrepreneur, Sir George Fistonich. The Iris collection is a contemporary celebration of classic, regional varieties. A forthright bouquet introducing bursts of candied tropical fruits intertwined with notes reminiscent of warm fruit crumble. Gentle oak wraps around the palate of balanced acid and ripe fruit - this Chardonnay is a crowd pleaser where nothing is too dominant with the fruit, oak, acid and flavours all sing in harmony.

Classic Chardonnay aromatics mingle in the glass with a touch of citrus peel, ripe stone fruit and toasty oak. The palate is rich and creamy with grilled peaches, lemons and brioche through the mid palate. Fine, toasted oak and balanced acidity lead to a long and satisfying finish. Enjoy alongside creamy cheeses, BBQ chicken or a porcini risotto.

On the nose, nashi pear and white blossom greet you with supporting notes of citrus and candied ginger. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and poised with bright flavours of pear and lychee. A full bodied luscious palate with a juicy acidity carries through the palate giving the wine great drinkability and pairing with a variety of spicier dishes.

Great wine is so much more than just fermented grape juice it is an alchemy in which unique terroir and skilled winemaking unite. At Dashwood, they create wines that are true reflections of New Zealand's Marlborough region. They are as cool as the winds that whip through our valleys each day and as imposing as the towering mountains that frame our vineyards. We have been tending vineyards and making wine in Marlborough for over twenty years. Their home is important to them, and they see their role as a caretaker of this part of the world. They strive to minimize or eliminate any activities that are wasteful or harmful to the environment so that future generations can continue to enjoy our extraordinary landscape. This Rosé is a summery delight for the senses. Aromas and flavours of strawberry, raspberry and cream soda are met with an off-dry finish. Enjoy well chilled!

Marlborough is a special place for wine. Perhaps it's the cloudless skies or mild temperatures or well-drained soils. It could be the long growing season or their sustainably-farmed vineyards. Whatever the reason, the result is wines that are marked by piercingly vibrant fruit flavours and lively acidity. Scents of mango, lime and passionfruit introduce this Sauvignon Blanc. A weighty, tropical palate is in perfect harmony with the crisp, acidic finish Marlborough is known for.
