Mt. Difficulty – Roaring Meg Pinot Gris, Central Otago, 2016
£12.95
This wine has aromatics reminiscent of a fruit cocktail full of stonefruit, melon and green mango. These characters are richly replicated on the palate, with a full textured mid palate and an off-dry finish.
88 Points Wine Enthusiast (2011 vintage)
“Loaded with fruit—apricot, pineapple and passion fruit—this is an attractive, medium-bodied Pinot Gris with just a hint of sweetness. Enjoy it over the next year.” J.C. (8/1/2012)

“Classic gooseberry and pink grapefruit notes feature gentle herbal nuances on the nose. There’s ample weight and texture on the palate, with a burst of mouthwatering citrus on the finish.” — J.C. (7/1/2015)
90 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2014 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough is intensely scented of gooseberries, elderflower and fresh lemon with hints of white asparagus and sage. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with vibrant vegetal and citrus notes held up by a lively acid backbone and good long finish.”
17/20 Jancis Robinson.
“Herbal and pungent, with a sort of saline, iodine character – reminds me a bit of some single match scotch, in fact. Wet hay too. This is certainly complex, and better than the 2013, for sure.”

Lowburn Ferry – Home Block Pinot Noir, Central Otago 2013
‘Very perfumed nose, lifts out of the glass like a puff of talc, wild cherry ground into fine powder. Much less ethereal on the palate than the nose would suggest. Fleshy sweet-berried fruit with an earthy flavour that draws from a rounded start to a leaner tightened finish. The acidity really builds on the end. The oak muscles in a little towards the end as well, giving a savoury and slightly cedary note to bring it to a close. New World charge, Old World restraint.’ – 17/20 Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com
