SUPER DELUXE 6
23 ELEKTRIK BLANC CHARDONNAY/SAUVIGNON BLANC
Powerful blend this year yet still fresh and palate cleansing. Loads of ripe lemon and yellow stone fruit that wraps around persistent saline acid. Touch of macerated Chardonnay adds to the mouth feel making it a perfect first glass to match perfectly with an oyster or two.
23 NOONTIDE MACERATION SAUVIGNON BLANC
Wildly aromatic! Tropical in a good way. Yellow stone fruit fresh lemon acidity and subtle phenolics make this a very refreshing and quenching style of orange wine. Sometimes restraint can bring out the best in a wine and I feel this has been achieved here. Banger!
23 FORREST CHARDONNAY
Extended lees contact and ripeness results in a round and unctuous expression. Lemon to lemon pith, roasted nuts and toasted brioche. More than enough acid to compliment. Resolved and in a great drinking window.
23 RIVER CHARDONNAY
Wow! All the wines are my heart and soul but this is my jam! Last of the cool wet years led to picking slightly earlier to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Extra elevage allowed the development of the mid palate and accentuated the chalky and crunchy oyster shell minerality that I absolutely adore. Oxygen was inhibited in this Chardonnay as opposed to the previous to compliment the site and vintage conditions. I love them both but they will satisfy different food matches and palates alike.
23 RIVER PINOT NOIR
Cool, wet year meant picking this site a little earlier to maintain the fruit integrity. Less whole bunch than usual. The result is a bright ethereal expression. Wildly aromatic! The nose leaps out of the glass, red fruits - cherry, strawberry and rhubarb. Supple and plush on the palate with bright acidity.
23 MOUNTAIN PINOT NOIR
Cool nights and mild sunny days made for stress free and extended picking window. Love the balanced achieved here. Tart juicy red plums and cassis, delicate violets on the nose with a blueberry 'esque acidity. Subtle savoury bay leaf rounds out yet a wonderful wine from this brilliant site.
