Light and delicate. There’s a lot of subtlety and nuance here and everything runs pure thanks to most fruits being destemmed and only a week on skins. It’s chilled red with an undertone of earthiness that’s alive with strawberry and pomegranate.

Siren Wine The Empress Pinot Noir 2023

Makipai Sauvignon Blanc 2024

The poem goes… Bashõ and his friends go out to view the moon. In summer… They’ll need something to drink and there’s nothing like a special wine enjoyed out of a nice glass under the sky. Especially when it’s full of macerated strawberries & a smidge of that black cherry weight we love Otago for that’ll deepen over time.

Burn Cottage Moonlight Race Pinot Noir 2022

Bang on northern NZ Syrah with a genuinely rocky tannin and an almost Bordeaux-ish profile. If you’re more into deep n’ delicious fruits, don’t worry, there’s plenty of liquorice, cacao nib and some concentrated dark cherry that would be syrupy if the winemaking wasn’t so on point.

Trinity Hill Hawkes Bay Syrah 2021

There’s also a lovely core of red fruit sweetness and some mulberry at the core that come wrapped in tobacco leaf. We call this level of acidity perfect for a luncheon, meaning it can hang with a cheese board, antipasti, and some chatter.

Trinity Hill Hawkes Bay Red Blend 2021

It’s textbook Marlborough Blanc, so this is an amazing gifting wine for those wine lovers out there who are hooked on the Kiwi Sauv. Great family lunch wine and especially perfect with fennel salad.
