1 x Escarpment Noir Martinborough Pinot Noir 2023

Bright garnet in colour the wine opens with spice and savoury characters, which are the hallmark of Martinborough Pinot Noir. This is an elegant expression with red fruit accents, reminiscent of fresh summer berries. There is also an autumnal feel to the wine, with turned earth, sumac and dark chocolate. The palate is taught and juicy, with forest floor and more of the savoury nuances coming through. It is crunchie and fresh, with a vibrancy and softness that is carried by silky tannin. This is a wine that is created with early drinking in mind but will reward with a few years in the cellar.

Awarded 94/100 Points: Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

"This is very structured for a 2022 vintage, with fine, linear tannins that run the length of the wine, giving backbone, focus and a tight fruit structure. It's very typical for a Central Otago pinot. So much clarity and focus to this" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

In the mouth, the wine is energetic and spicy, with a long spool of tannin and fruit entwined through the finish. It's floral and bloody as well. It's an utterly lovely and wonderful wine with a super pleasant aftertaste that lingers" Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

1 x CENTRAL Central Otago Pinot Noir 2024

Awarded 94/100 Points & 5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Awarded 92/100 Points: Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"Pristine and elegantly expressed, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, sweet cherry, floral, warm spice, and toasted almond notes, followed by a silky-smooth palate that's beautifully rounded and flowing. Splendidly structured by polished tannins, making it harmonious and persistent. At its best: now to 2032" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"A mix of dark berries and Doris plum, layers of fruit and wood spice with a touch of smoke and clove. Dry, taut, varietal, Black currant, dark cherry, some mineral and earth-stone. Well made, firm youthful tannins, plenty of polish, there’s a distinctive backbone of acidity adding power and length on the palate. Ready to drink from late 2026 through 2031+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2025

1 x Craggy Range Te Muna Single Vineyard Martinborough Pinot Noir 2024

Awarded 95/100 Points: Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Awarded 93/100 Points: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Taut, ripe, textured and delicious, a wine that reflects both the vineyard and region. A focused palate of dark cherry and baked red berry fruits, some dark plum and fruit spice, balanced measure of oak and lengthy finish. The mineral layer suggests baked brown and stone soil. Well made with plenty of length and definition. Best from 2027 through 2031+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"The 2023 Te Muna Road Vineyard Pinot Noir is powerful but framed within an ethereal structure of ductile tannin. The fruit is eminently red, and the wine feels elegantly integrated at all levels. It's a lovely expression of Martinborough, and it manages restraint and measure at every opportunity. The acidity is fine and saline, the balance is there and the oak merely supports. There is a savory herbal nuance through the finish, but it all works. Recommended" Robert Parker

Bright, deep scarlet in colour. Evocative floral aromatics of lavender and jasmine, with notes of sweet spice. Distinctly Te Muna, it is so elegant and poised. A very fine, ethereal palate. The silk laden tannins amalgamate with little resistance, giving incredible flow. A supremely elegant release. Single Vineyard.

Food Pairing: Spring lamb, grilled salmon, duck and mushroom risotto.

1 x Greenhough Stone's Throw Nelson Pinot Noir 2023

Awarded 92/100 Points: Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"Youthful, varietal, bright and pristine red fruit scents of cherry and cranberry, white strawberry and a light gentle dried herb quality. The palate is a perfect mirror of the bouquet with chalky textured fine tannins, a decent acid line and red fruits of the orchard. well made, a lighter framed expression with a youthful energy and style. Best drinking from 2026 through 2034" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Bright, fragrant scents of red fruits with hints of dried herbs. Flavours of red cherry, cranberry and crushed strawberry are wrapped in fine, chalky tannins and subtle spice. The lighter frame of this style balances fruit with structure and ripples with youthful energy. Organic. Vegan.

Awarded 90/100 Points & 4 Stars: Stephen Wong, Master of Wine, The Real Review

"A lovely bouquet, youthful and vibrant, crunchy and fresh with scents of red berry fruits and a light savoury dried herb touch. A layer of new oak and woody spice qualities adds bredth. On the palate a dry wine, youthful and textured, dry and savoury, a core of red berry fruits and paprika smoke spices. Well made with plenty of tannin and acidity for mouthfeel. Best drinking from 2025 through 2031+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"Spicy and red-fruited character with cherries, dried strawberries and hints of licorice and cocoa. Medium-bodied, juicy and savoury, with crunchy tannins. Vibrant and characterful. Sustainable" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

"Quite brooding, with chewy tannins, this is a shaded, reticent wine which resides in the darker parts of the fruit spectrum. Woody and a bit austere, this broad-shouldered, ripe and fairly concentrated pinot will benefit from either food or time in the cellar to help tame the structure and allow the fruit to unfurl" Stephen Wong, The Real Review

Earthy vibrant nose, subtle oak, reminiscent of smoked meat, with light florals and vibrant red and blue fruits. Dark cherry and red berry flavours with savoury mineral/graphite-like notes. Fine, supple, and poised with a well integrated tannin structure. Sustainable.

Food Pairing: Duck, lamb, charcuterie, smoked salmon.
