Accolades

We work hard to produce great wines, which makes recognition even more satisfying.  From awards to positive comments from wine experts, our wines are receiving international recognition. Our 2009 Pinot Noir is our most awarded wine, with its latest honour to be awarded silver at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London.  And our Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling both received silver medals at ‘Wine Style Asia Award’ in Singapore.

2009 Pinot Noir

  • International Wine and Spirits Competition: Silver

  • ” Nice complexity of flavour on the palate with plum, blackberry, ripe strawberry and vanilla and more dried herbs. A touch of toast and bacon fat from oak influence. A youthful, tightly structured wine with good length on the palate and truly superb value for money.” Wine NZ

  • BragatoWine Awards 2011: Bronze 
  • Decanter, UK 2011: Bronze

2010 Sauvignon Blanc

  • ‘Wine Style Asia Awards’, Singapore: Silver
  • Bob Campbell, MW: “Pure, tangy Sauvignon Blanc with chalky mineral flavours and a suggestion of gooseberry plus lemon grass. If you like the assertive acidity (I do) the wine offers good value at this price.”  
  • Royal New Zealand Easter show:  Bronze
  • Decanter, UK 2011:  Bronze

2008 Riesling

  • Bob Campbell, MW: “Medium Riesling with attractive chalky mineral and lime flavours. Assertive acidity promotes a drying finish. Perhaps a tad too tart but the wine offers undeniably good value at this price.” www.bobswinereviews.com
