2011 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Gris - Pinot Gris Pinot Grigio - White

Retail Price: $26.00

The warm vintage of 2011 has resulted in aromas of white peach and peach blossom mingled with nectarine. The palate displays luscious stone fruit, while the mid palate is full, creamy and well textured. The wine has a rich, mineral driven finish.

2011 Mt Difficulty Target Riesling - Riesling - White

Retail Price: $26.00

Floral and ripe citrus notes compete in the aroma of this Riesling. Citrus characters introduce this wine to the palate and are then joined by ripe tropical melon and a hint of stonefruit. A moderate amount of residual sugar (39gL-1) has been retained to balance the slightly lower acidity from a warmer season. This residual sugar has also fleshed out the mid palate of the wine. This wine will richly reward those who can cellar it.

2011 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Rosé - Pinot Noir - Rose

Retail Price: $26.00

Our Rosé displays a lovely red rose petal, whilst the aroma displays savoury red fruits of the forest. On the palate the wine begins with rich, soft red fruits through to a richly textured mid palate; fruit and acid combine nicely to provide a clean finish.

2011 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Sauvignon Blanc - Sauvignon Blanc - White

Retail Price: $26.00

An ideal warm dry autumn has resulted in aromatics of passionfruit and melon with background notes of dried hay. These aromas are replicated as flavours on entry into the palate, moving into a full textured rich mid-palate and finishing with lingering minerality. This wine is ideal for sensible summer evening drinking.

2011 Roaring Meg Central Otago Pinot Gris - Pinot Gris Pinot Grigio - White

Retail Price: $22.00

This wine has aromatics reminiscent of a fruit cocktail full of stonefruit, passionfruit and melon. On the palate these are duplicated with lovely rich flavours, a textured mid palate and an off-dry finish.

2011 Roaring Meg Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc - Sauvignon Blanc - White

Retail Price: $22.00

Warm summer growing conditions have resulted in a concentrated Sauvignon Blanc in a typical Central Otago style. The wine displays gooseberry flavours intermingled with bell pepper and freshly cut hay; this moves into a full mid-palate and then the wine finishes with lingering passionfruit and rhubarb. This wine is ideal for fun-loving, responsible summer drinking.

2010 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir - Pinot Noir - Red

Retail Price: $45.00

A warm, low-yielding vintage has produced a Pinot Noir displaying ripeness concentration and balance; dark fruits of the forest dominate the aroma and these are underpinned by lifted florals and black cherry, balanced with sweet aromatic spice notes. The wine has a ripe concentrated front palate, which displays these same characters in abundance. The mid palate is fleshy and well textured, and the wine finishes with a combination of ripe, fine-grained tannin, fruit and acidity.

2010 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Dry Riesling - Riesling - White

Retail Price: $26.00

Riper stonefruit intermingled with citrus blossom dominate the aroma of this Riesling. On the palate the citrus fruits zing around in harmony with lovely grapefruit focussed acidity; there is a plushness in the mid palate that seems to defy the mineral acidity. The wine is dry with less than 5 grams of residual sugar.

2010 Roaring Meg Central Otago Pinot Noir - Aglianico - Red

Retail Price: $28.00

This wine exhibits a lovely mix of dark red cherry and black berry fruits along with a hint of licorice. Further complexity is gained from oak spice. The wine has a sweet berry entry which displays these same characters in abundance. Lovely ripe textural tannins rise gracefully out of the mid-palate to finish the wine. These are balanced by the wine’s acidity and fruit, to produce a long fruit-driven finish.

2009 Mt Difficulty Single Vineyard Long Gully Pinot Noir - Pinot Noir - Red

Retail Price: $90.00

This is the fourth Long Gully Single Vineyard Pinot Noir. Long Gully has always displayed classic red to black forest berry characters and for this cooler vintage blackcurrent and boysenberry really shine through. These same berries dominate the entry onto the palate, and flow in a rich and sensuous vein of fruit through the mid-palate. The wine finishes strongly with masculine fine grained tannin flowing into red berry fruit.

2009 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Chardonnay - Chardonnay - White

Retail Price: $35.00

This Chardonnay really speaks to the very warm growing season, with tropical melon and pineapple being backed up by a lovely minerality. The palate displays lovely tropical characters, moving into a mid palate with an excellent creamy texture and weight from extended lees contact and barrel ageing. The natural acidity provides a backbone which the fruit flows through.

2009 Roaring Meg Central Otago Riesling - Riesling - White

Retail Price: $22.00

This wine shows excellent concentration of cool climate, with citrus and pip fruit blossom aromas: the palate is dominated by bright red apple flavours. The wine is a medium - dry style with a lovely backbone of natural acidity. This wine beautifully displays the elegance and finesse of this versatile and interesting variety. You will be rewarded by careful cellaring.
