A very Mineral expression of two grapes from the upper Duoro Valley: 

Rabogato a local variety, meaning cats tail, comprising nearly 80% of the wine offers an enticing bouquet of citrus, acacia, stone fruit, and minerals, with a salt-licked finish.

& Viosinho another local variety which tastes somewhere between Chenin Blanc & Gruner Veltliner. The golden apple, greengage plum & Beeswax from Chenin meets the white pepper finish of Gruner.

20% of this wine is fermented in Barrel & the rest in stainless steel gives this wine texture as well as fresh acidity & great minerality.

The Explorer wine showcases vibrant aromatics with a bouquet of fresh dried herbs, spicy blackcurrant, and redcurrant notes. Its focused, elegant palate delivers a harmonious balance of fruit weight, structure, and texture, providing a satisfying combination of strength, freshness, and poise. Certified organic, this wine is crafted with care, ensuring a natural expression of its origins. Grape 100% Pinot Noir

From the esteemed biodynamic Wrekin Vineyard nestled in Marlborough's Clay Soil Southern Valley's.

Undergoing 100% Whole bunch carbonic fermentation this wine is full of deep red and dark berry fruit character, dry yet fruit forward with soft tannins.

Mulberries, red currants, crème de cassis and old-fashioned raspberry notes present a French nouveau style wine – dangerously thirst quenching when lightly chilled and smoothly moorish at room temperature. A wine to be enjoyed now.

We can't think of a better variety for our future than this southern Italian rustic beauty. Lovely big late-ripening bunches with plenty of natural acid and earthy tannin, personality plus! It provides us with a savoury and refreshingly drying, delicious food-friendly red, made for the table. Regeneratively grown from grass to glass, the old world in new hands.

This wine in its cleanliness and elegance is the synthesis of the entire winery, which has always cultivated its lands in a way that respects nature.

Tasting Notes:

A young but thick Chianti, with a beautiful nose, clean, balsamic, with floral and fruity notes. In the mouth the liquorice blends with the intense cherry and raspberry scents that remain in a pleasant finish. A fresh and very drinkable product .

Commercial Description

made from fruit sourced from Ballochdale in the Awatere Valley. Proudly sitting 300m above sea level, the vineyard’s spectacular inland location provides the most desirable conditions for producing wines of identity and intensity.

Čuvar Guardians Pinot Noir 2023 is the first wine Sir George made from this vineyard he acquired in 2023. This wine displays vibrancy and a ripe red fruit profile typical of the regions, along with added depth, structure and spicy nuances from ageing in French oak barriques. While still youthful, the wine already shows nice complexity from the oak maturation and will age gracefully well into the end of the decade.

This bright ruby red Pinot Noir has aromas of ripe red cherry, cranberry and accented hints of savoury earthiness.

Only 19 hectares of Chenin Blanc is currently planted in New Zealand and Martinborough has produced a small amount of great Chenin Blanc for many years. We are excited to produce our first from the 2024 vintage.

Fragrant aromas of fresh cut pink grapefruit, yellow apple, fennel seeds, white cardamom and a note of lemon sherbet on the nose. The palate greets with fresh notes of lemonade, rock melon, toasted almonds and with a hint of beeswax on the finish. A textured and salivating wine, with a fine balance of phenolic texture with a long lingering palate. This is a deliciously complex wine from a truly great vintage; it captures the purity and charm of a much-loved harvest.

Jinro Lemon Soju 13% 360ml

The highlight of Jinro Lemon lies in its refreshing and tangy flavour, perfectly capturing the distinctive sourness and aroma of lemons, the symbol of zestful taste.

The aim for this Chardonnay is to retain a fresh structure with a complex palate. It is the vineyards, wild-ferment and barrel characters that make up the complex nose and palate.

This fruit comes from three vineyards; the Taylor Vineyard, which is in the Rapaura area, the Twin Valleys vineyard, which we have been working with since 2003 and a ten rows of Clone 1066 from the Mahi home block.

All of the vines were intensively hand-tended, and the grapes hand-picked and then taken to the winery for whole-cluster pressing. The resulting juice went straight to French oak barrels and fermented with indigenous yeast from the fruit. After fermentation the wine sat on yeast lees for eleven months prior to blending and bottling.
