"There's convincing weight to the 2022 Pinot Gris Sleepers Vineyard from the Kēkerengū Coast. This is a dry, full-bodied, savory New Zealand interpretation of Pinot Gris. Yes, it has pure pear and apple fruit notes plus a fragrant florality, but they've also managed to capture savory, pastry hints and a spiced character that sparks memories of dining out in Alsace....

"Hand-harvested. Whole-cluster pressed, with only the cuvée juice retained for fermentation in old barrels with ambient yeasts on light grape solids. Lees-stirring for added texture. Aromas of lanolin, toasted nuts, honey and candied lemon peel. Bright candied-lemon and crushed-nut flavours mix with salty grapefruit and dried herbs. Zippy, lean and delicious, with wonderful citrus notes and excellent acidity." 17 Points,...

"Chamomile tea comes through clearly on the nose along with notes of lily, sliced lemon and green apple. Medium-bodied with smooth texture. Linear onto the palate. Charming. Drink now. Screw cap." 90, James Suckling

"This a textbook, elegant style of Marlborough Pinot, with pretty aromatics of cranberry, tobacco leaf, baking spice, red plum and cherry. The palate has layered fruit, nice flow, a touch of oak, moderate tannins and good carry. Fruit is drawn from across the region, including the Southern Valleys, Awatere and the tiny southern subregion of Kekerengu Coast. Winemaker Simon Waghorn...

"Aromas of golden apples, yellow pears and acacia followed by honeycomb and lemon marmalade. Sweet, medium-bodied wine with crisp acidity. Delightful and easygoing. Drink or hold. Screw cap." 90, James Suckling

"Rarely do I get to write rhubarb in a tasting note but here it is. Not only does the 2020 Pinot Noir Wrekin offer up flavors of rhubarb, it shares a similarly high acid profile that integrates with time in glass. There's nice tannin and oak management here, with some intriguing woody herb flavors: the fruit has been carefully handled...

"Aromas of beeswax, wet stone, lime rind and sliced lemon. Medium-bodied with pleasant density and concentration. Bright acidity and fresh fruit on the palate with a lingering finish. Drink now." 91, James Suckling "The 2020 Dry Riesling The Farm is unmistakably Riesling with its youthful, tangy green apple and lime citrus flavors. There's no funny business here – just pure...
