Pinque Waiheke Island Rosé Blend 2022

The description: The 2022 Pinque has classic strawberries and cream characters along with watermelon and a touch of Szechuan pepper. The 2022 vintage was warm and dry and correspondingly this wine is relatively low in acid making for a very smashable wine, although like all our wines there is plenty of subtle complexity to delight the taster. Enjoy! The opinion: in total agreement.

Really cool stuff. Barrel fermented and aged. Remind me of some oxidative natural Loire Sav Blanc but with riper fruit here. I know current release has semillon and I kind of got some of that character here, but label just says Sav Blanc. Kept coming back to it over the night. — 8 years ago

Wratton Bully Whalebone Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Franc 2008

Warm vintage, soft ripe fruit. Presents as young but very approachable with soft tannins, with liquorice and dark fruit prominent and tannins sitting in the background. An intriguing contrast to the Man O’ War blend alongside it. Very easy to enjoy but perhaps some element missing at this stage. — 3 years ago

Ironclad Waiheke Island Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Delicious. 20 months in Oak. Cab franc still dominant grape at 45% so a slightly different rendition than the old world. Oak, tobacco, dark fruit. Yummy — 6 years ago

Cabernet Franc Merlot 2011

Really enjoyed this. For an NZ Bordeaux blend it was full of fruit and finished without any signs of being a young wine. Getting this again. — 8 years ago
