Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Our Pinot Blanc 2021 is packed with white peach, jasmine and spice flavours. It’s multi-layered with an incredible texture beautifully complemented by a touch of sweetness and a juicy acidity.
It’s our Moutere clay soils, the dazzling Nelson sun and the finger prints of our team that make our wines unique. We hope you’ll enjoy."
5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, October 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale straw-yellow colour. The nose is softly full, filled the glass with aromas of apple, pear, citrus and its zest melded with a white flower bouquet and a hint of spice. Medium-bodied, brilliant concentration on the palate, fronting apple, pear, grapefruit zest aromas, a layer of delicate pink peppercorn, white floral lingers with a touch of honey. The mouthfeel is oily, almost unctuous, elegantly carries the spice throughout the palate with the support of mouthwatering acidity. The fruit had excellent concentration, filled the palate with weight and depth of flavour. This is an excellent example of Pinot Blanc with a concentrated varietal character and a lush mouthfeel. Match with Thai style steamed fish and pork chops over the next 5 years. Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, cool-fermented to 14% alc, 6g/l RS, extended lees contact, 5% oak-aged, unfined. Vegan friendly."

"The 2021 vintage was estate-grown and hand-picked from young vines at Tasman. Mostly tank-fermented (5 per cent of the blend was handled in old oak barrels), it is invitingly scented and full-bodied. Still very youthful, it is vibrantly fruity, with pear, lychee and spice flavours, showing a distinct touch of complexity, excellent delicacy and depth, and an off-dry (6 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish. Best drinking 2023+."

"Remember the greatest gifts you ever got? A BMX, a Barbie, a G.I Joe, an Atari2600, a fishing rod and that awesome DIY tattoo gun? Well the joy that this delicious sip delivers, is just like turning seven and getting a recorder and a walkie talkie for your birthday. While it might sound a bit odd to describe a wine as a deviant, this white mutation of pinot noir is fabulously floral, elegant and excellent with spicy food. A whistle of white pepper, roast stonefruit, zesty acidity, toasty layers, crispness and great mid-palate richness leads to textural complexity and terrificness."
