Gold Medal – New Zealand Organic Wine Awards 2025
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Wonderfully ripe and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows fresh dried herb, spicy black and redcurrant aromatics lead way to a focussed elegant driven palate. There is plenty of fruit weight enclosed in a textural strong driven palate. This wine gives good strength, freshness and poise. Certified organic."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Youthful intense hues of purple and ruby lead to a bouquet of ripe red berry fruits, some mineral, gentle dried herb and spice. A dry wine on the palate with flavours of dark cherries and plums, then barrel spice and textures from tannins and acidity. A complete wine on the palate showcasing the variety and region with a natural savoury dried herb spice quality, dark berry fruit flavours and wild flower moments. Best drinking from 2026 through 2033."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"It's splendidly fruited and fragrant on the nose, showing dark plum, cherry, thyme, clove, and almond notes, leading to a succulent palate offering silky texture and plump mouthfeel. Harmonious and smooth with a lingering, delectable finish. At its best: now to 2032."
