Commercial description

The ancient, dark-skinned grape variety from Georgia delivers wines that command attention and, at our tiny yield level, devotion. At such concentration, Saperavi with its natural high level of fruit sugar, tannin and acidity turns in a seductive powerhouse like no other wine. Complex, multi-dimensional, structured, and elegant - a wine to truly cherish.

This wine will bring the most critical wine lover to wine heaven. The gorgeous intense, inky colour metamorphoses into a savoury lusciousness. One of the tasting team called it a sexy Georgian in a glass. Deep, rich and packed with black fruit almost jumping out of the glass. Maturing in new barrels refined the powerful tannins to a classy elegance. Rich and complex, multi-layered with an staggering backbone of fruit, acidity and tannin, each sip giving you more and more pleasure. A dazzling wine experience for a wine to cherish. Tasted July 2022.

"The Swiss couple make wonderful handmade reds and whites from an array of grapes, from Viognier to Nebbiolo. In fact, the barrel of Nebbiolo they make is like something from the best of Barolo. Unfortunately, they are tiny production." James Suckling, October 2022 (Suckling is internationally regarded as one of the world's most influential wine critics.)

The wine that dreams are made of must have been a Nebbiolo. A gorgeous wine balanced and poised with heady aromas of floral and light red fruit. On the smooth, juicy palate, polished tannins support succulent cherries, prunes, wild herbs and truffle. It’s already delicious and accessible but will age like your best Barolo or Barbaresco.

Tasting Nebbiolo is an arresting experience because the floral and light red fruit aromas suggest a wine much lighter than it is. Tasting blind it is easy mistaken for a great Grand Cru Burgundy with its firm grip of the pronounced acidity and ethereal structure. This Nebbiolo is without rival, we felt transported to Piemonte, reminiscing of wild herbs, cherries, truffles and prunes. The silky, soft texture and delicious sweetness of the extracts, upheld by a great acidity enough to make the mouthfeel velvety and seductive. A truly regal wine - pure, elegant and perfectly balanced that will last forever if you have the heart to keep it aside.

Zweigelt, one of the most exciting Austrian varieties combines the best qualities of its parents St Laurent x Blaufrankisch. Think of the spice character of Syrah and the floral notes of Malbec. Stunning complexity, wonderful vivid acidity - a flavour powerhouse with elegant structure and a lingering finish. Built to last…

The vitality and exuberance of aromas is mouth-watering before the wine even reaches your palate. Intense ripe blackcurrant and plum jumps out at you like a sucker punch, enveloping Szechuan pepper, cloves, and a hint of nutmeg. Perfect balance in a powerhouse wine as it bursts with vibrant acidity, dark fruit at the core and firm tannins. dark, brooding and savoury melt with freshness on the long, long finish. A wine drinking wonderfully now in its youth but will soften as it matures. A collectors dream...

Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais’ most renowned producers and he makes this wine from a single vineyard in the famous Cote du Puy sub-region. Foillard’s wines are extremely complex and deep for an area known for light, juicy reds. 

Hand harvested without destemming, cold carbonic maceration (4 to 7 ºC), alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts for 3-4 weeks, no sulphur added then 6 to 9 months in old oak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Cornerstone Vineyard

It’s all in the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Aromas of wild dark berry fruits, crushed autumn leaves dark and integrated oak. This characterful wine has intense blackcurrant with power and long graphie tannins. The quintessential ‘iron fist in a silk glove’.

Hugo, my brother, is a talented artist and is always ready to lend a hand with Chateau Garage. His silhouette appeared in the driveway at 10 o’clock at night to help press the last of this Cabernet to barrel. I was exhausted from pressing all day and he got me through. Here’s to Hugo!

An excellent Cabernet Sauvignon from the Gimblett Gravels, made in Ollie's Garage an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon from a very difficult vintage & a testament to Ollie Powrie's Winemaking.

Harvested on the 10th of April and destemmed to 500 L Amphora.  Light punch downs using hands and once fermented sealed up on skins for 150 days / 5 months and then pressed to a single seasoned French oak barrel. 5 months in barrel before being bottled under cork in the driveway.

The result is a wine that has very well integrated soft tannin, cherry & raspberry fruit up front into dark chocolate nutmeg & capsicum like herbaceous notes on the finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon has great cellaring potential & this wine while drinking well now, has all the components to develop in bottle between 3-15 years.

Commencing with meticulous site selection and vineyard design in 1991, Felton Road's story is one of refusal to compromise. A strict 100% estate policy with fully organic and biodynamic viticulture (BioGro and Demeter certified) ensures that our fruit arrives at the winery as pure as it can be, while our entire estate comes as close to true sustainability as is possible. A commitment to hands off winemaking: gravity flow; indigenous yeasts and malolactic; an avoidance of fining and filtration; all help preserve the wine's expression of its terroir. The result is Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which accurately express the authenticity and complexity of our unique vineyards

Felton Road farms four properties totaling 34 ha in the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago. Block 5 is situated on a gentle north facing slope in the heart of The Elms vineyard and was planted in 1993. The soils vary up the slope from heavy loess and silt, clay lakebed deposits, and angular schist gravels. Meticulous summer management of a single vertical shoot positioned (VSP) canopy ensures even and early fruit maturity. Shoot thinning, shoot positioning, leaf plucking, bunch thinning and harvest are all carried out by hand to ensure optimum quality fruit. Cover crops are planted between rows to assist in vine balance and to improve soil health and general biodiversity

After a wet September, spring commenced with good soil moisture and bud burst occurred at the normal time of early October. Temperatures hovered around average with December being warm and dry, enabling a successful flowering and fruit set. The dry conditions prevailed throughout January and February limiting berry size and setting the scene for fruit with elevated phenolic material and complexity. Judicious use of irrigation was required to maintain sufficient vine health throughout this sustained dry period. Temperatures never spiked and hovered around average enabling a slow and steady path to maturity. A distinctive feature of March 2024 was the cool night temperatures preserving acidity, freshness and precision of fruit character. Pinot Noir was harvested from 19 March to 9 April.

28% of the fruit was retained as whole clusters with the remainder carefully de-stemmed directly to the fermenters by gravity without harsh pumping. Long pre-fermentation soaks of 8-10 days prior to fermentation with indigenous yeasts and punched down by hand up to two times per day with a total time on skins of 22-25 days. Pressed off and barrels filled immediately by gravity to the underground barrel cellars. The wine spent 16 months in barrel (20% new French) with two rackings and no fining or filtration, before bottling in late-August 2025.

This brand new champagne not only looks good, it's a ultra brut style, which means it is dry in taste (and contains just 4.5 grams per litre of residual sugar). 

This is a blend of the three classic champagne grapes and the blend is 60 % Meunier, 30 % Chardonnay and 10 % Pinot Noir sourced from seven different parcels across the Côteaux Sud d'Épernay and Vallée de la Marne . Its rich flavours are derived from 40% of reserve wine, which was aged on lees in barrel. This portion contributes weight and texture as well as complexity in flavour.

It is fabulous drinking year round thanks to its full body and flavoursome style. 

What the reviews say...

Antonio Galloni, Vinous - 91 Points

"The NV Extra Brut Ultradition, the entry-level wine in this range, is wonderfully deep and fleshy, with plenty of Meunier character driving the blend. Dried pear, chamomile and spice are some of the notes that open in the glass. Generous and inviting, the Ultradition has plenty to offer. This release is based on 2017, with reserve wines from 2016 and 2015. Drink it over the next few years." 

Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais’ most renowned producers and he makes this wine from a single vineyard in the famous Cote du Puy sub-region. Foillard’s wines are extremely complex and deep for an area known for light, juicy reds. The Gamay grape makes this wine immediately approachable in its youth but Morgon Cote du Puy are also great cellaring wines. This Côte du Py come from 10-90yo vines, grown on schist, granite and manganese soils. Fermented 100% whole bunch, ferment in concrete, then 6-9 months in aged barrique.

Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais’ most renowned producers. Foillard’s wines are extremely complex and deep for an area known for light, juicy reds. This is a high quality, classic expression of the Morgon sub-region. The Classique comes from vines of 20-55 years old, grown on mostly granite solis. Fermented 100% whole bunch, so some carbonic influence, ferment in concrete, then 6-9 months in aged barrique.
