Bright citrus notes of lemon and pineapple start the show with this cheerful, versatile white from the lesser-known winemaking region of Wellington, and in the glass, you'll find delicious flavors of tropical passionfruit and lemon. Clean and light but with some dimension in the midpalate.

Ripe and fruit forward with lush notes of melon, banana and sweet tropical fruit citrus throughout. Medium weight, the finish is loaded with juicy fresh peach flavors. Drink now.

Spicy, fresh and floral, the nose on this Viognier immediately marks it as a wine to be savored. On the palate, it's lighter and fresher than the typical Viognier, with its white peach and lemon, but still full of dimension. Balanced acids keep it dancing on the tongue. Pair with chicken or fish.

A lovely nose of violets and soft berries leads on this stylish Shiraz. On the palate, luscious berry, pepper and minerals mingle together with elegance. The finish is long and clean.

An aroma bursting with jammy fruit—think black currant and blueberry—is followed by a full-bodied palate with hints of cinnamon spice. It’s wildly fruity but at the same time dry on the finish, and hearty tannins insure that the fruit does not completely steamroll the whole production. Lots to like here but perhaps just a little too fruity and one-dimensional for any truly serious contemplation.

Flavors of bright, ripe black currant fruit and a nose of cinnamon, anise and blackberry recommend this energetic wine from the Wellington region. Slightly rustic but still restrained and elegant, the wine will pair well with grilled meat and a myriad of cheeses.

Deep, rich aromas of cinnamon, mocha and pepper are followed by a burst of berry fruit and firm tannins. It’s not a very complex wine, but its fruity, ripe flavors are enjoyable and dense.

Richly scented, with aromas that resemble a cross between graham crackers and Nilla Wafers, plus a few tablespoons of blackberry preserves. It’s still young and rambunctious, with assertive oak warring a bit with the jammy fruit, but should settle down in another year or two, while still retaining a bit of an untamed, rustic edge.

Slightly sweet and confected with raspberry fruit roll-up and berry preserve aromas. A glimmer of crushed carnation flavors switch things up in the lightweight but round and soft mouth.

Ripe and fruit forward. Strong notes of berry preserves and juicy black plum are laced with notes of purple flowers and sweet smoked meat. Medium weight with soft tannins and a clean finish. Drink now.
