$5999each $719DOZEN EACH DOZEN Fruit is grown on narrow spaced vineyards to vertically shoot positioned vines, hand pruned in winter and hedge trimmed in summer, hand nurtured through to ripeness. Grapes are all hand picked in small parcel lots and carefully transported to the nearby winery where they are delicately pressed within an hour. A Bucher airbag press is applied with a modified champagne cycle, to produce around 450-550 litres per tonne of free run juice from the whole bunch pressed grapes. Base wines are tank and barrel fermented, a small percentage is aged on lees until tirage. The wine is celared for bottle fermentation until disgorgement, followed by some time on cork prior to release.

Polished diamond hues, a very fine, persistent bead. Biscuits and yeast, honey, nougat and layers of spice, perfumed talc balanced against the subtle tones of cashew and brie. A captivating, long, rich and balanced palate, sophisticated and beautifully defined, freshly baked apple pastries melt in your mouth, long and elegant, a crisp and dry, lingering finish.

Single vineyard Pinot Noir, hand picked off superior Kreglinger estate blocks at Pipers Brook, fruit is painstakingly sorted for excellence and gently whole bunch pressed. Nothing but the purest primary juices are extracted for an old world style ferment in seasoned French oak, full malolactic and nine months of repose to infuse texture and luxurious creaminess. The best barrels of vintage are identified for inclusion into the final Cuvée, bottled under liqueur dosage and sent for a secondary ferment in bottle over the course of ten years maturation.

The most famous and prestigious sweet white wine in the world, vines of the Appellation Sauternes Controlee are stimulated by a unique microclime during autumn, as sunny dry weather of the day alternates with cool fog at night. Due to the extremely low yields of two to three glasses per vine, Sauternes are extraordinarily complex and intense. Offering a wide range of spell binding perfume and flavours, Sauterne develops as it ages, unravelling immensely attractive layers of honeyed characters, toasted nuts and candied fruits.

Stunning gold appearance. The initial impression on the bouquet is of honey and caramelled fruit, enticing aromas of lime blossoms, quinces, figs and toast, going on to unravel layers of complexity as the wine continues to evolve in the glass. Sauternes cannot be made without the help of the providential fungus Botrytis Cinerea or Noble Rot, which concentrates juices and infuses the wine with infinite complexity.

The proprietors at Le Tertre are so fond of the travails and rewards of Botrytis wine, that they have turned their entirety of their acreage to Sauternes. Harvesting takes place grape by grape to include only those berries which are Botrytised and perfect for the purpose. Vineyards are picked over several passes among the vines at different times throughout each vintage, to apply the painstaking pruning and selection methods which are unique to the Sauternes region. Tertre Du Lys is powerful on the palate with delicious flavours and elegant aftertaste, fullness and balance, richness and ripe acidity.

A prominent NZ dry style sparkling wine which can be served as aperitif or alongside cuisine, Lindauer is not completely dry, but close enough to be refreshing. It offers aromas of hot baked brioche and light fresh fruit to lay aside its brightly foaming texture. Full on the palate with a pleasant, steady mousse and elegant aroma, yeasty and toasty from prolonged bottle maturation on lees, crisp, complex and well balanced, with a full flavour and lasting finish, cool and delicious, this is the epitome of celebratory wine.

$1999each $239DOZEN EACH DOZEN The cuvee stays on lees an average of 15 months and when the cuvee is considered to have aged on lees sufficiently, the yeast is removed and the wine sweetened. The blended base cuvee has sugar and yeast added and is then bottled. The bottles are laid on their sides in bins, inside temperature controlled cellars to undergo a secondary fermentation in the bottle. The fermentation lasts six to eight weeks, during which time the sugar is converted to alcohol and CO2. The CO2 pressurises the bottle and gives Lindauer her bubbles.

An exciting innovation in a Methode traditionnelle, enriched by strawberry. A component of Pinot Noir is treated to extended time on skins for perfect uptake of charming rose colour, to be blended back with Chardonnay after primary ferments. The Cuvee stays on lees an average of fifteen months, sediments are removed and the natural strawberry richness is infused. Gold pink salmon hues, her subtle strawberry bouquet is complexed by underlying yeasty toast notes, a decadent palate of moreish red fruits, elegance, stylishness and finesse.
