Aromatic & Spicy

Blank Canvas is the personal wine range of husband and wife team, Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker-Thomson, MW. With a focus on Marlborough, Syrah from Hawkes Bay and Pinot Noir from Central Otago, the Blank Canvas wines are exciting, small-batch and increasingly recognised as the avant-garde of New Zealand wine.

A wine of wonderful, pure aromatics this Gruner exemplifies classic notes of mandarin and ripe peach with an underlying trace of white pepper. The oak featuring in the wine is only obvious if you are told about it – it is there to provide richness and weight to the mid-palate, which is why Blank Canvas chose large French oak puncheons to do the job. A model vintage in Marlborough provided warm sunny days and cool nights which enabled all-important retention of acidity and ripeness of fruit. The result is a well-structured, luscious rendition of an Austrian classic.

With its citrus and hints of white pepper, this wine is a beautiful dish with ceviche, any grilled white fish or chicken infused with orange or paired with an orange and almond salad.

While the classic expression of this famous wine style is about fruit purity and crispness, this wine represents an alternative interpretation. ‘Abstract’ is a departure from the norm. This wine is all about texture and layers of aromatic complexity derived from both fruit and winemaking. The Holdaway family vineyard in Dillons Point provides the pillar of blackcurrant, passionfruit and its signature salty minerality, while the 100% wild yeast fermentation in seasoned French oak puncheons offers savoury attraction and complexity on the palate.

Te Awanga Estate is a family owned wine business. It was born out of a love of making wine and of the place they call home, Hawke’s Bay. In 2006 they began searching out great vineyard sites that would eventually supply the grapes to make the great wines of the future. They have an enduring purpose: to grow, harvest and craft world class wines. And smile while doing it.

A dry and warm summer with cool nights has produced a wine with pungent aromatics and crisp acidity. Gooseberry, lime and guava aromas lead into a rich, mouth filling palate that tastes of passionfruit, grapefruit and a lovely chalkiness. The wine is crisp and bright with a lingering finish - a classic Sauvignon Blanc.

Pair with Spring and Summer salads with homemade vinaigrettes. Also great with seafood, shellfish or white meats or a refreshing dip in the pool.

The Hunting Lodge wines are making an undoubtable mark on the New Zealand wine scene. Pete Turner, the winemaker, found his love and passion for wine after a trip around Europe. Now, after 15 years in the industry, Pete is proud to be a part of something he believes is great for the Auckland wine community. 

The Expressions range is a celebration of New Zealand’s most iconic varietals – inspired by the land, the people and you. Loaded with interest and character, the wines are only the beginning of the story.

Vivacious - a wine which expresses the full spectrum of Marlborough. From the sunbaked, ancient riverbeds of the Wairau to the cool, dry terraces of the Awatere Valley - tropical punch meets herbal intensity and varietal purity. A passionfruit, pineapple and grapefruit medley dressed in dried sage, blackcurrant bud and gooseberry. The big, mouth-filling palate is restrained by chalky acidity which gives length and structure while subtle minerality and capsicum notes bring both complexity and Sauvignon typicity.

For winemaker and co-founder Rob Cameron, the Invivo range is all about taking some of the elegance from the old world and putting that style into our amazing grapes, all the while offering wines that are fun and a bit unique.

The nose is sweet and savoury like good white Bordeaux but instead of pineapples it’s grapefruit and crystalline ginger. The palate is concentrated and broad with a strong citrus grapefruit theme, but also spicy and with balanced acidity to the off-dry finish.
