Vinification

All fruit is estate grown organically, with the majority of the clone being Mendoza. All our Chardonnay is hand harvested and whole-bunch pressed,
but they are lightly crushed first, this allows the juice to be extracted at very low pressures. Each parcel of fruit is kept separate and vinified and aged
individually. The juice is allowed to oxidise pre-ferment which makes the final wine more vibrant, long-lived and intensely flavoured as finished wine.
All parcels take most of the lees from pressing to barrel for wild fermentation and are aged in French oak with 25% being new. To keep the structure of
this wine, we allowed only 50% of the barrels to go through spontaneous malolactic fermentation, with no battonage. The total time in barrel is about
10 months before being combined into one blend in mid-February, The wine stays in stainless steel tank for 6 months on lees which allows for the acid
to become precisely defined and adds texture - then finished with no fining and only gentle filtration.

Wine
Green gold with silver flecks.
Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, grilled white stonefruits, chared applewood with underlying peach blossom and oystershell.
Fresh citrus dominates with crunchy nectarine, crystalized pineapple, sweet baking spice and a saline minerality in support. A fine acid structure is
coated with a silky texture to give a long complex finish.

Vinification

Our Estate grown grapes are hand harvested, then whole bunch pressed gently over several hours. The must settled overnight before being racked off gross solids taking only fluffy lees. Fermentation is allowed to proceed slowly at low temperature and stopped when the sugar, acid, alcohol and phenolics are in balance. We hold the wine at a cool temp for the remainder of it’s time in the cellar to retain its natural co2 spritz from primary ferment. The wine is racked and spends 6 months on fine lees before bottling.

Wine

Pale green gold and silver streaks. Delicate notes of apple blossom, honeysuckle, mandarin zest with mineral undertones.On the palate - lime oil, fleshy stone fruits, ripe red delicious and tangerine peel. Bright acidity gives the palate freshness and is balanced with generous fruit sweetness. These aspects are accentuated by the natural spritz retained from fermentation which give a lift in the midpalate. The reprise is long and lingering with a satisfyingly crisp clensing texture.

Selected from a small batch of casks laid down in 2012 at the Ardmore distillery, this new release from Signatory was matured in a unique type of cask - 2nd fill ex-bourbon barrels that were sourced from an undisclosed distillery on Islay (codenamed LA, suggesting Laphroaig). The nose opens with an industrial smokyness, evoking old workshops and savoury smoke. There is a touch of old hessian sacks and then a sweet barley tone that shifts to creamy and vanilla'd.

This brand-new Inchgower from Cadenhead has spent the final part of its 14 years of maturation in a most unusual type of cask: ex-PX sherry butts that previously held Springbank. The cask influence has imparted a delicate, peaty, musty and earthy quality not normally found in Inchgower. A rich, stewed raisin and warm toffee flavour builds to a nutty quality of honey roasted cashews, salted caramel and a delicate whiff of peat.

Sea Lovers Gin is a distinctive and delicious contemporary gin that subtly marries marine ingredients with more traditional botanicals, conjuring the essence of the sea into your glass. The wild harvested North Island kelp gives a lovely umami complexity to the nose and serves as a counterpoint to the brightness of the lime and rosemary. The palate is full and crisp with the oyster shells bringing a sophisticated minerality. Serve with quality light tonic or soda, a sprig fresh rosemary and twist of lime.

A full-bodied haze bomb bursting with ripe passionfruit, juicy pineapple, and zesty citrus aromas.

A fresh, crunchy red. More lean and light than the standard Beach House Montepulciano, this wine can be served at room temperature or chilled.

Flavours of morello cherries, red plum and smoky thyme. Supple and velvety in the mouth. The wine is flavoursome and bright, while remaining firm and structured, an easy-going Monty! With a lighter body than our traditional Montepulciano this wine can be served at room temperature or chilled.

This exquisitely extravagant expression boasts a rich ensemble of bright flavours that seduce the senses. It seems that stone fruit flavours, rose scents and gin were a magical combination in the most opulent of establishments in Paris at the turn of the 20th Century, and eaux de vies, peach schnapps, cherry liqueurs and the like were the 'in thing' for those who had the means to celebrate in spectacular style.

Hendrick's Master Distiller, alchemist and liquid poet Lesley Gracie has deftly combined these flavours into a ravishingly fruity spirit, where pirouettes of decadent stone fruit share the stage with sweet herbs and make for an elegant sensory feast that is deliciously indulgent and yet as light as silk.

This is a bright, bold gin that has a rich depth and layers of flavour and yet is still refreshing and light - it’s ideal in a Hendrick's Grand Cabaret and Tonic. If you want to be a little more fancy, the Hendrick's Grand Cabaret Royale is an indulgent way to toast tantalising celebrations and combines Hendrick's Grand Cabaret, cranberry, lime and a touch of sugar syrup which is topped with Champagne or sparkling wine for added decadence.
