With 13 g/l residual sugar, this is a soft, off-dry style of Riesling that boasts admirable purity to its melon and lime flavors. It’s medium bodied, with a softly lingering finish that imparts great elegance, a character sometimes missing from Otago wines.

This is a big, slightly rustic Pinot that marches to a decidedly unfruity beat. Coffee and mushroom aromas set the stage, then add cola and earth notes on the palate. Finishes long, but with some rough edges; give it 2–3 years in the cellar.

A lightweight but intensely flavored Riesling, with stony, fern-like and lime-ridden aromas. Elegantly intertwined lime and green apple flavors dominate the palate, finishing long and minerally. Just slightly off-dry.

Delicately herbal on the nose, with dry, dusty scents of earth that accent pretty cherry aromas. Not a blockbuster, this is a more delicate, feminine style of wine from Central Otago. Finishes with a silky flourish. Imported by Sauvage Selections.

Bigger and more fruit-driven than the delicately styled ’02, but also less complex. Shows some slightly roasted cherry notes and hints of caramel on the finish. Drink now. Imported by Sauvage Selections.

This slightly rough-edged wine needs 2–3 years to round into shape. Right now, it shows some rustic, tree-bark aromas alongside coffee and cocoa scents, while the cherry flavors are candied and intense. These elements carry the intensity needed for aging, and should come into greater harmony in time
