GLASS HIGHLIGHTS

Subject to availability*

'Orange' Pyramid Valley 2023

A hazy amber skin-contact wine from Pyramid Valley in North Canterbury, a region known for distinctive, terroir-driven wines. A blend led by Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, with a little Pinot Noir, it offers dried apricot, orange peel and wild flowers, followed by a savoury, layered palate of stone fruit, citrus, herbs and a Campari-like bitterness. Fine tannins, a briny edge and fresh acidity make it seriously moreish.

‘Section 94’ Sauv Blanc, Dog Point, 2020

Section 94 is a more serious, savoury expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, from old, organically farmed vines in the Southern Valleys. Hand-picked fruit, wild yeast fermentation and 18 months in older French oak give depth and texture. Expect preserved lemon, grapefruit, quince, toasted hazelnut and struck flint, with subtle smoky and herbal notes. Rich and complex, balanced by fresh acidity. A world away from familiar Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

‘Barrua’ Carignano, Agricola Punica, 2020

A distinctive Sardinian red led by Carignano, an indigenous grape from the coastal Sulcis region in the island’s south-west. Blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it offers black cherry, ripe plum and dark berries, layered with wild Mediterranean herbs, myrtle, liquorice and spice. Rich and generous, with velvety texture, fine tannins and well-integrated oak. Barrua is a great example of the character and quality that Sardinia’s indigenous Carignano can deliver.
