2021 Ra Nui Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc
0.75 l White
Marlborough New Zealand
Clear, brilliant pale straw. The nose exhibits zesty citrus characters which then give way to more dominant tropical fruit characters, passionfruit and mango. On the palate herbaceous, bone dry with crisp acidity, silken texture and a lengthy finish. Classic Marlborough Sauvignon.
2014 Ra Nui Central Otago Pinot Noir
0.75 l Red
Otago New Zealand
The nose exhibits enticing aromas of ripe black cherries, black plums and some pepper and spice, distinctly Pinot Noir. On the palate these cherries and black fruit notes are smoothly carried by balanced oak, smooth tannins and soft acidity. A long richly textured finish. A softly textured delight
