It's summer! We're weeding and shoot thining, allowing for an even canpoy focused on ripening our fruit.
A new release from the celebrated 2015 vintage in North Canterbury. Aromas of oyster shell, nectarine and apricot, honey suckle, cashew and hazelnut. The pallet is dense and present with clay soils and salivating minerality, typical of the Home Vineyard. A happy and healthy wine! Flavours of white rock, sunny fields and brioche persist. Drink now to 2022.
A Pinot Noir - Chardonnay co ferment from vines growing together in a 0.8 ha block at Netherwood vineyard. Bright cranberry, strawberry and rhubarb flavours with a saline and rocklike mineral line. Fresh, complex, and delicious. A unique wine from a very unique vineyard. Organic. Drink now to 2020.
The pallet is initially soft with building texture and mid pallet density. The mineral acidity builds and brightens pulling the flavour length of the wine along, giving a lasting and refreshing persistence. Medium Dry. Drink now to 2021.
Red flowers of rose, damson plum and sweet ripe raspberry and cherry, mineral tones and soft fragrant wood spices. On the palate - youthful, dry, fruity, soft dried herb and loaded with mineral messages; lovely balance and finish. Cameron Douglas MS.
Aromas of bright cherry, forest fruits, sandalwood, iron and tilled earth. Rich with red and black fruit and savoury tannin building weight and grip. The hallmark salivating mineral line persists and freshens. Drink now to 2023
A bouquet driven by a limestone and clay mineral aroma offset by raspberry and red cherry, a little plum and brown spices... On the palate...a mix of red fruit flavors and a light savory layer, brown spices and mineral. Overall a damn fine example. 90 Points
