TASTING NOTE:
Pale lemon in colour, this Sauvignon Blanc speaks of the complex soils found at our Te Muna vineyard. The elegant aromas of white peach, lemon, blossoms, fresh-cut herbs and passionfruit follow through to the palate, whihc is met with crisp acidity. The wine is harmonised by the stony minerality, subtle salinity and chalky texture that the old river stones of our vineyards provide.

WINE ANALYSIS
TASTING NOTE:
Very pale lemon in colour. Fresh orchard fruits jump from the glass offering peach, apricot and persimmon interlaced with white melon and subtle hints of hazelnut. These characters translate to the palate where they are met with a saline minerality, and a moreish chalky texture. The lemon-fresh acidity and understated sweetness lie in harmony.
Pinot Noir
HARVEST DATA
VINTAGE DETAIL A moderate spring led to a cooler ripening season defined by several large rain events. Picking and selection were critical.

TASTING NOTE:
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.

TASTING NOTE:
Ruby red in colour, with notes of juicy red fruits and a savoury undertone. The aromatics leap from the glass offering freshly plucked raspberries and black cherry, amidst blackcurrant leaves, violets and charred spices. These characters follow through to the palate where they are met with a moreish cocoa powder tannin, along with hints of dried tobacco and cedar.

TASTING NOTE:
Deepest red with a vibrant purple hue. Brooding aromatics of dried dark rose, violets, blackberry and a lift of sandalwood; characteristic of the red wines from the Gimblett Gravels. Power and elegance jostle across the palate. Classic finegrained tannins vitalize the rich fruit core and carry the wine long for an elegant, dry and sophisticated finish. Quintessential cool-climate Syrah.

TASTING NOTE:
Dense, dark cherry colour. Complex brooding aromatics of black cherry, plum, rose and wooden spices. An excellent illustration of subtle power across the palate. Beautifully textured ripe fruit flows seamlessly across the palate with sinew and spice from stem and oak influence. The feel is precise, savoury and long.
