week beginning 21/05/2007

the Times - Jane MacQuitty

simple gentle, spicy, yet verdant, unoaked, stainless steel tank-aged

heady, moscatel raisin-scented red

vibrant citrus and apricot fruit; mouth-watering apéritif

delivers so much gorgeous, sweet plum and cherry fruit

fine, spicy, floral, gamey fruit pinot noir fans would pay much more for

fabulous ripe, floral, white peach-licked 2005

the Sunday Times - Joanna Simon

Fragrant honeysuckle and apricot flavours.

Unctuously rich, sweet and exotic.

Lusciously sweet fruit, beautifully balanced acidity

the Independent - Anthony Rose

Made for washing down seafood

rich gooseberry fruit is balanced by a Pouilly Fumé-like restraint.

Mulberry and blackcurrant enhanced by opulent chocolatey notes

the Observer - Tim Atkin

rich, aromatic

sweeter, more sensual with its lovely oak and rich berry fruit

Further up the quality ladder; supple and deliciously fragrant

surely as close as New Zealand gets to Pinot Noir Nirvana

the Telegraph - Jonathan Ray

chunky, lipsmacking white; a tangy, grapefruity freshness.

light touch and a clean, appley finish. It's terrific with a tartiflette

cherry-soup scent and dark-chocolate-covered-almond flavours

elegant balance of minerality, ripe fruit and zippy acidity

the Guardian - Victoria Moore

coltish, bright, juicy, appley white with plenty of zip

Mellow and exotic; more candied peel and melon than clean citrus

clarity and freshness; beginnings of pear, peach and greengages

nicely balanced wine with a sleek minerality and herbaceous feel
