  2021 Omaka Reserve Pinot Noir, Saint Clair

  £2995

  The Reserve wines from Saint Clair represent the estate’s pinnacle wines – the best of the best.   This 2021 has concentrated flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, Kalamata olive, and perfumed wildflowers, that lead to an elegant palate with a structure reminiscent of finely powdered cocoa. The finish is long incorporating freshly roasted coffee beans, toasty oak and spice.

  Ageing potential: This wine is drinking beautifully now or with careful cellaring will mature into a more complex wine that can be enjoyed for the next 8 to 10 years or beyond.

  This vineyard site has been the foundation for some of Saint Clair’s finest wines. This is the vineyard where Saint Clair Family Estate first discovered the fruit to make their flagship Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit is sourced from a single vineyard in the lower Wairau Valley. The Block One site was previously part of the Wairau flood plain and is renowned for its deep, highly fertile, free-draining soils, which have been built up over time and help to produce the intensity of flavour in the resulting wine. The vineyard has a flat profile and is situated approximately three metres above sea level. It is now protected from flooding by a stopbank. Located in a slightly cooler site than the majority of the Marlborough Valley, the vines have a slower annual ripening period. The fruit is carefully monitored during the ripening stage and is harvested during the cooler evenings, at maximum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.

  2021 Gimblett Gravels Syrah, Craggy Range

  £2995

  A Syrah showing tremendous aromatic lift, with notes of lavender and sweet cherry rising from the glass. The structured palate shows wonderful balance and concentration.

  Hawke’s Bay’s Gimblett Gravels winegrowing district lies on the ancient bed of the Ngaruroro River, which changed course in 1867 to expose the soils for possible viticulture. The relatively low altitude and proximity to the sea yet sheltered from the direct effect of the sea breeze, creates a temperate maritime climate. This location, altitude, and the stony soil’s warming influence make it the warmest site in Hawke’s Bay. The lack of excessive heat in the Gimblett Gravels is also a critical factor as it means the aromatic characters in the fruit, which contribute to the floral notes, are retained. The soils are composed of small to medium-sized greywacke stones interspersed with layers of silt and sand down to a depth of at least 40 metres. The stones on the surface absorb sunlight and heat during the day and then radiate heat at night, enhancing the vine’s ripening capacity. The stony soil structure allows for very rapid drainage after rainfall events; the low water-holding ability the vine’s growth to be controlled. The soils in this locality produce rich, ripe, yet elegantly structured red wines with a distinctive mineral, hot stone and fine dusty character, affectionately known as ‘Gimblett Dust’.

  2023 Pinot Noir, Craggy Range

  £2995

  A delicate, supple and approachable Pinot Noir with aromas of dried lavender and wild thyme combined with red cherry. On the palate, flavours of crushed raspberry and orange zest are layered with savoury undertones.

  The Pinot Noir fruit comes from the Wairarapa subregion of Martinborough, in the southeastern corner of the North Island. The soils contains layers of ancient weathered volcanic ash, which has reacted with the rocks and hastened their decomposition to a point where they can be easily broken. This soil produces exceptional Pinot Noir, which stylistically shows incredible complexity, a reserved intellectual feel, and great length.

  2019 Pinot Noir, Te Muna Road Vineyard, Craggy Range

  £2995

  A fine, ethereal Pinot Noir with evocative notes of lavender, jasmine, sweet spice underpinned by ripe, red-berried fruits. The silky tannins enhance the flow through to a supremely elegant finish.

  The grapes come from the Te Muna Road vineyard in Wairarapa subregion of Martinborough, in the southeastern corner of the North Island. The vineyard consists of two distinct terraces, the upper terrace comprising very old, stony clay-infused soils perfect for Pinot Noir. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality while the rocky soils impart intensity of fruit. The region’s warm, dry summers and mild winters lead to complex and structured wines with subtle aromatics and an elegant finish.

  2022 Pinot Noir, Rockburn

  Expressive aromas lead to a deeply fruity palate displaying notes of red and black cherry layered with rich notes of mocha. Supple, silky tannins envelop the smooth palate through to a long finish. This wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance.

  Rockburn takes its name from the rugged, rock-strewn, burn-scarred landscape of Central Otago. Situated on the 45th parallel, Rockburn shares a climate that is similar to Burgundy. The vineyards are surrounded by mountains to the west, whose seaward slopes are rainforest, receiving 5,000mm of rain per annum. To the east is a barren, moon-like landscape that receives less than 25mm of rain per year. Situated between these extremes, lay the Rockburn vineyards, which are producing Pinot Noir of stunning quality.

  2020 Pinot Noir, Pegasus Bay

  £3600

  The 2020 Pinot Noir from Pegasus Bay is crafted by one of New Zealand’s most respected family-owned estates. Established in 1986 by Ivan and Christine Donaldson, Pegasus Bay has become a cornerstone of North Canterbury winemaking. With deep roots in the Waipara Valley and over four decades of family commitment, the Donaldsons have cultivated a unique estate focused on producing wines of authenticity, complexity, and longevity. Their mature, own-rooted vines grow on free-draining, north-facing terraces composed of the ancient Glasnevin Gravels, a mixture of greywacke, silt, and loam, yielding low-vigour vines and intensely flavoured fruit. A long growing season, thanks to warm days and cool nights, draws out ripening while preserving bright natural acidity.

  The 2020 Pinot Noir is an elegant and powerful wine, with a bouquet that is both aromatic and grounded. Earthy notes of forest floor, woodsmoke, truffle, and dried herbs weave around vibrant aromas of dark cherry, cranberry, crushed lavender, and exotic spice. On the palate, it opens with generous, ripe fruit before revealing its underlying structure, a broad yet silky texture framed by polished tannins and a lively acid line. There’s a dynamic tension between freshness and richness, giving the wine energy and drive, while a savoury core and hints of clove, potpourri, and spice add further intrigue.

  Regarded as one of the great New Zealand Pinot Noirs.

  2020 ‘Maestro’ Merlot, Malbec & Cabernet Sauvignon, Pegasus Bay

  £4100

  Pegasus Bay is a family-owned estate in North Canterbury’s Waipara Valley, founded by the Donaldson family, pioneers of the region’s modern wine scene. With over three decades of winemaking experience, Pegasus Bay has established a reputation for producing complex, expressive wines that reflect both vineyard and vintage.  Maestro is part of the reserve series of wines from Pegasus Bay and represents the best of their Bordeaux fruit. As with all their reserve wines, they are only made in exceptional years.

  The 2020 ‘Maestro’ is a bold and captivating blend, marrying power with precision. In the glass, it reveals a deep, brooding purple hue. Aromatically, it leads with a rush of dark, savoury intensity, black forest fruits layered with earthy mushroom, aged soy, and hints of smoked game. Complex nuances of liquorice, eucalyptus, mixed spice, and tree moss enrich the bouquet, giving it both intrigue and gravitas. On the palate, the wine is robust and muscular, with a coiled energy that unfolds into bold tannins and vibrant acidity. This formidable structure is balanced by decadent fruit weight and seamless concentration, lending the wine breadth and a richly textured mouthfeel. The finish is expansive and persistent, carrying through savoury detail and spice.

  The vines used for ‘Maestro’ are grown on free-draining, north-facing terraces in the lee of the Teviotdale Range, which shelters them from harsh coastal winds and fosters a unique mesoclimate. The vineyard’s stony “Glasnevin Gravels” soil, composed of greywacke, loam, and silt, limits vine vigour and encourages low yields of intensely flavoured fruit. These conditions, coupled with warm days and some of the valley’s coolest nights, result in a long, even ripening period, allowing the Bordeaux varietals to develop full phenolic ripeness while retaining fresh acidity. Many vines are over 35 years old and remain planted on their own roots, contributing depth and authenticity to the wines.
