Critic Scores

96 // Mike Bennie

"It feels open weave and pretty with rose hip tea, alpine herbal elements, faint game meat, undergrowth and toasty spice strewn around the place. It slips into every corner of the palate, an attractive, sour-sweet flow of tart cherry dressed up with those savoury elements all sheathed in a web of ultra fine, silty, lacy tannin. It finishes with black tea and truffle and a building, drying, refreshing pucker. Fine, elegant, vibrant and energetic. A triumph for the variety."

96 // Emma Jenkins MW

"Nose a little shy at first, then lots of perfumed red fruit emerges – tamarillo and plum, a dash of spice, a lift of blue flowers. The delicate, dancing palate has surprising intensity of ripe, flowing red fruits, lovely fine, chalky tannins and bright, saline/minerally acidity. Very good length. This is smartly made with no edges but it’s not overly polished either. Biodynamic."

96 // Dave Brookes

"From a 0.7ha limestone/clay, north-facing, biodynamically farmed slice of the Pyramid Valley estate in Waikari. A beautifully perfumed, ethereal wine that shows delicate redcurrant, red cherry and raspberry fruits with hints of crushed stone, red flowers, blood orange, clover blossom, sous bois and red apple pastries. There is a lot of light in this wine, all detail and shimmering clarity with a spacious mouthfeel, sapidity to burn and the most graceful of exits. Beautiful drinking."

17+ // Jancis Robinson MW

"Complex spicy nose. Real freshness and sap. But with sweetness too. Not remotely heavy and very distinctive in a New Zealand context. Lightly peppery finish. Sprightly."

96 // Huon Hooke

"Quite a pale colour, tinged with purple, the bouquet is complex, foresty/undergrowth scented, complex in an earthy way, while the palate is quite delicate: light-bodied and savoury, with light but drying tannins and medium intensity. A lovely wine in a lighter style."
