NEWS FROM THE WINERY -

NEW RELEASES

We’re pleased to announce that the following wines are now available to the trade and general public.

Martinborough Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

A very low yielding year has produced a rich, concentrated and elegant Pinot Noir with supple savoury tannins. In its youth the nose shows black cherry, dark chocolate and Asian spice notes that will typically change to savoury, earthy characters as the wine ages. On the palate the layers of dark fruits are beautifully entwined with soft, velvet tannins and a seamless texture.  This wine exhibits power and poise and will age gracefully for 15+ years.

RRP $70.00, Mail Order $63.00

Martinborough Vineyard Chardonnay 2007

Our Martinborough Vineyard Chardonnay is a classic wine full of ripe nectarine and peach aromas with biscuit and mineral notes melding on the nose.  Careful use of oak has created a wine that is finely grained and focussed yet shows power and depth of flavour. Our winemaking style focuses on producing a well balanced Chardonnay that is rich and full bodied whilst remaining balanced and elegant. This wine is drinking well in its youth but will reward those that have the patience to cellar it for 5+ years.

RRP $40.00, Mail Order $36.00

Martinborough Vineyard Pinot Gris 2008

Martinborough Vineyard has been producing Pinot Gris since 1996.  This wine is heavenly scented with aromas of ripe pear, nectarines with a backbone of exotic spice, ginger and floral notes. Made in the Alsatian style where texture is the key element this wine shows richness and smoothness on the palate that is well balanced by phenolic weight and ripeness. This wine is best enjoyed in its youth but will further develop over the next 5 years.  

RRP $40.00, Mail Order $32.00
