I don’t know of any other producers who make a single-varietal wine from this obscure grape, but this wine is still fairly easy to find, an observation that is not difficult to understand. This wine is just plain delicious. Year after year it is in my top two or three white wines. Very aromatic, it boasts an abundance of fruity and floral aromas. On the palate, flavors of lychee and dried apricot reveal a subtle sweetness that is hard to resist. 100% Bukettraube. 4/13/25. — 19 days ago

A nice blend with enough Cabernet Sauvignon to influence the profile. Some Tannins still present and linger. January 2025. — 3 months ago

Finally found something we like more than Wairau River. Flavor is very simular, but Zynsy-pops-alot thinks it’s easier to drink. I agreed. — 6 months ago

Just opened up another 2021 (have a few left in the collection after tasting this in SA). On the nose stone fruit, with a hint of flint. Taste: amazing texture and length, freshness, minerality and some wet wool, lanolin and hints of anise. I’d say perfect time to drink the 2021!

Pairing: Grilled octopus and saffron risotto — 25 days ago

Medium deep , ruby centre and ruby rim . Dark blackberry , spicy tobacco , earthy currants , coffee . On the palate quite dark fruit focused , blackcurrant , blackberry , dark cherry . With time in the glass this seems to show a bit more of the earthy , tobacco notes also present on the nose. Quite high fresh acidity , slightly gritty tannins , quite good tobacco tinged finish . This is showing well now but will age well for a further decade — 4 months ago

Incredible wine. 6 different grape types in this wine. Easy to drink. The one we had was a 2018. Easy to make an everyday wine. — 2 months ago

Not sure. Expected some unique flavors. Yet this turned out to be kind of a middle of the road good Chard. — 4 months ago

Dark and brooding, the flagship 2017 Lady May from Glenelly is effusive from the first pour, with aromas of black cherry, purple herbs, baking spice and chocolate. The palate is distinctly savoury, with a spicy quality that represents quite a contrast from prior vintages. This is an altogether quite serious offering and perhaps lacks the glossy suave character of, say, the 2015, which I prefer at this stage. But this should be absolutely fantastic in around 5-10 years’ time and I can’t wait to try it again. — 6 months ago
