Pale pink, classic Pinot Noir rose colour. Lifted floral nose of rosewater and strawberry. The palate mixes crunchy red delicious apple, ripe raspberry and cream before finishing dry. Limited supply, will sell out fast. 

This bone dry, savoury and delicious Marlborough rose is clearly next level in price but then, so too is the taste of this wine. Simon Waghorn, the winemaker, gave the hand picked grapes a warm fast ferment to provide this single vineyard rose with its dry, savoury flavours, moving the taste firmly away from a tutti fruity style into refreshingly different one. Flavours here are all about slivered almonds, dried cranberries and even an earthy note on its lingering, weighty finish.

It gains depth of flavour and body from being fermented on solids (yeast lees) and was fermented to total dryness, leaving the wine with no residual sugar. 

Comelybank Vineyard Rose is a single vineyard wine made with grapes grown by Jeff and Vanessa Hammond in the Waihopai Valley.

It is 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Gris.

The story of Astrolabe

Diversity, history and family ownership are among the reasons to try the outstanding range of wines from Astrolabe, which was founded in 1996 in Marlborough by winemaker Simon Waghorn and his partner in life and wine, Jane. 

Simon has forged a reputation for being one of New Zealand's most respected producers of aromatic white wines after winning an almost embarrassingly long string of awards for his Sauvignon Blancs. He has also forged a name for adventurously diverse winemaking - he produces dry flinty whites from the most southern vineyard in Marlborough at Kekerengu on the coast about an hour's drive south of Blenheim. He is the only winemaker to produce wines from here. 

He is also one of the few in this country to make Albarino, Chenin Blanc and a consistently outstanding range of wines from the organically certified hillside sloping site that is the Wrekin Vineyard in Marlborough. 

The winery remains family owned and is now run by two generations, including Simon and Jane as well as their adult daughters. 

It's easy to taste why Ata Rangi Rose is one of our top sellers. Dry wine and refreshing, it's an interesting blend of grapes grown in both Martinborough (64%) and Hawke's Bay (36%). It's a blend of grape varieties too, which each bring structure, fruity appeal and power to the wine; 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 16% Pinot Noir, 16% Syrah and 4% Cabernet Franc.

This is dry, fresh and medium bodied. A great rose for all seasons. Serve lightly chilled.

The name Ata Rangi is Maori for dawn sky and was chosen to portray the new beginning that the start of this winery represented for founder Clive Paton in the late 1970s.

A very special Pinot Noir with earthy aromas and fresh mushroom meets red cherry flavours, made from grapes grown on a 0.8 hectare hillside of limestone laden land on the road to Castlepoint in the Wairarapa. 

Winemaker Raffael Burki (hence the name 'B' on the label) produces this exceptional Pinot Noir from the Lime Hill Vineyard and it is a sister wine to the Johner Lime Hill Pinot Noir. 

Two exceptional wines from a tiny plot of land. Pinot lovers will relish both. 

The family owned Beach House Wines turns out an impressive range of wines, including this super refreshing rose, which is made in a dry style with minimal skin contact to provide a pale colour, which is currently the trend in international roses. 

This is a fresh, dry, fruit driven red with a crisp finish. Great for a summer day or a winter's afternoon. 

Black Cottage Rose is Dave Clouston?s brainchild and was inspired after long hot summers spent in Corsica and the south of France where he made, light bodied, dry and  salmon pink wines from deeply coloured, thick skinned red grapes. These styles of wines are ideal for drinking chilled in summer, not only in the Meditteranean but also right here in New Zealand, which is home to this wine. 

It's made from grapes grown in Marlborough's hot summer days, which are balanced by fresh acidity from the region's cool nights. 

This is one of our best sellers and it's super easy to get hooked on its tasty summer berry flavours and dry style. 

Grapes from three organic vineyards are cofermented together to make this wine, hence the name Treble. And it gets more complex because five different grape varieties are used to make this wine, including Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.

The taste is fresh and has a nervy edge, thanks to the crisp character contributed from the Chenin Blanc and RIesling grapes, as well as that southern acidity in the wine. 

Flavours of strawberries, rose hip, cranberry and savoury spice combine in this deep coloured rose, which was bottled unfined and unfiltered. 

Volumes made were small.

A blend of Cabernet franc and three Italian varieties, Sangiovese, Marzemino and Teroldego, wild fermented in oak barrels. 

Wonderful cherry fruit and fine floral aromas, perfectly balanced with flavours of wild berries and a long, crisp palate.

A very serious New Zealand Rose

A dry, deeply coloured rose made from a blend of Bordeaux varietals and Chambourcin, an old French grape variety. One of our biggest sellers for those who love a lightly chilled, pale red wine too, as this tasty little number is incredibly flavoursome with its dry style, intensely dark fruity flavours and hint of spice on the finish.

Fabulous value and flavour. This dry pale pink rose is an excellent example of one of the world's most popular wine styles. Dry with red berry flavours and firm tannins adding a pleasing grip and length to every sip.

Showing a gentle blush of colour, this Rose is both charming and pretty, yet still offers great structure and drive. With initial hints of watermelon and pink rosebud florals the nose then opens to reveal wild strawberries and cream. The palate is crisp and vibrant with delicate red fruits, an elegant dry palate and juicy fruit acidity that leaves the month revived and thirsty for more. Certified organic. - Fromm
