Varietal aromas of plum and earthy forest floor are here in spades. Succulent ripe plum flavour comes through nicely on the well-balanced palate. A well-made, food-friendly wine.
Sourced from four separate Casablanca vineyards to enhance its characteristics. Fresh, fragrant strawberry and cherry aromas. Lively, juicy red- and black-cherry flavours are balanced by light tannins and an elegant texture. Straightforward but refreshing finish. A pleasant partner for poultry.
Viognier (3%) co-fermentation plus French oak aging enhances complexity and expressiveness. Seductive violets, gamey meat and ripe red and black fruits throughout. The well-structured palate balances ample acidity, firm tannins and a rich mid-palate. Lingers with white pepper notes. Pairs well with duck.
Fresh-yet-complex aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, cedar and spicy vanilla. The concentrated palate is rich with supple tannins and mocha, cassis and blackberry flavours. The addition of Cabernet Franc (12%) adds complexity and lengthens the oak-derived spicy finish. Totally suited for hearty meat dishes.
Lots of flavour here, more in New Zealand style than Loire. Straw colour with a lime tint; a nose of passion fruit and mango; richly extracted with herbaceous and mineral notes adding complexity to the sweet almost-creamy fruit. Finishes refreshingly dry.
Pale, almost water-white, the wine offers a nose of elderberries and green leaves. It fairly dances on the palate with a tart gooseberry flavour. A very refreshing cool-climate Sauvignon.
Glossy silvery-yellow. Appealing nose of tropical fruit and citrus with a bit of spice; more elegant than the New Zealand versions. On the palate it is surprisingly full-bodied, and presents gooseberries floating in a lemon bath, with all the tingling acidity that implies. High value.
