A really delicious wine; vivid citrussy aromas of freshly squeezed limes and lemons, some orange blossom too. Off dry with a mouthwatering, nervy acid spine. Good length. Plenty of density and interest yet retains a delightful lightness.

Nice varietal definition; soft green herbs, a touch of pepper on the nose and a crisp, relatively full bodied palate. A good alternative to the drier styles of Riesling.

A lighter bodied, cooler expression of Sauvignon Blanc; flavours sitting firmly in the cucumber, elderflower and freshly cut grass spectrum. Crisp and delicate.

A bright, creamy style of chardonnay that is all about subtlety and restraint. Light stone fruit, red apple and fresh pear flavours are supported by a gentle undercurrent of oak which is beautifully integrated. Would cellar though drinking well now.

Tight and lean, a great example of cool climate chardonnay that allows minerally fruit flavours of wet stone, crisp apple and pear to shine. Savoury and focused, just a hint of oak. Great length.

Powerful aromas of freshly buttered brown bread and pastry crust confirm this wine spent an extended time en tirage. The palate is concentrated, focused yet beautifully delicate with a creamy, fine mousse. Strong acid line keeps the whole show on…
