Appealing floral fruits of the forest nose with a gentle savoury character. Just a little touch of sweetness fleshes out the palate yet the finish is crisp. $19.75

Very perfumed and exotic; red liquorice, spice and black cherry yoghurt. Weirdly compelling; lots of juicy black fruit with an inky, spicy edge. Bright lifted acidity rather than tannin carries the palate. $20.00

Starting to show some development in the colour with some floral red cherry and plum notes on the nose. Not great intensity but a pretty, lighter bodied pinot that is drinking well now. $22.0

Bright sweetly fruited pinot noir with some raspberry and red cherry fruit complemented by nutmeg oak. There’s a little bit of tannin that gives an appealing cinnamon note right on the finish. $17.00

Lovely aromatics. Plenty of fresh, ripe fruit; black cherry, plum and berry but also some secondary notes of mushroom and leafiness starting to emerge. A big, decadent style of pinot noir with lots of richness with soft tannins in support….

Big bold aroma; almost a touch of exotic marshmallow and red liquorice with a lovely ripe doris plum and black cherry fruit character. Silky tannins, plenty of concentration but retains a degree of grace. Highly attractive pinot noir. $29.00

Boldly aromatic, sitting very firmly in the darker fruited spectrum; blackberry, currant and plum with some star anise and liquorice too. There is new oak giving structure and backbone and the tannins are still quite marked. The finish is long…

Taut, focussed aromas of baked pear, stewed apple. Attractive crisp and freshly fruited with a nice line of acidity to counter balance the very small touch of sweetness. An appealing, uncomplicated wine $19.75

Ripe white nectarine and peach with a little fresh apricot. There is some oak, adding a layer of cinnamon and nutmeg and a touch of gunflint to add complexity and interest. A creamy, silky, very approachable chardonnay. $30.00

Very opulent aromas of mango and papaya. Succulent flavours with a little gingerbread and lemon curd and a nice citrus spine of acidity. Not especially complex but for those looking for a sweeter style, this is very appealing. $19.50
