Marlborough is a special place for wine. Perhaps it's the cloudless skies or mild temperatures or well-drained soils. It could be the long growing season or their sustainably-farmed vineyards. Whatever the reason, the result is wines that are marked by piercingly vibrant fruit flavours and lively acidity. Scents of mango, lime and passionfruit introduce this Sauvignon Blanc. A weighty, tropical palate is in perfect harmony with the crisp, acidic finish Marlborough is known for.

Darren De Bortoli created Noble One at our family winery in 1982, to this day it is still one of the most awarded wines in history.

A pure, bright and youthful citrus driven chardonnay with complex smoky, flint, toast and biscuit notes derived from extended barrel aging on full solids. The palate is focussed and restrained which unfurls on the finish and exposes the intense citrus core with underlying cashew, nutty flavours.

A delicious, full bodied Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. With minimal oak influence the wine is all about the grape, showcasing peach and citrus flavours so typical of Hawkes Bay Chardonnay. Its flavour profile is a mix of stonefruit, grilled nuts, grapefruit and yeasty nuances. It is both complex and delicious. Ideally suited to rich seafood dishes or white meats such as pork or chicken, but equally delicious as an aperitif or with hard cheeses.

This is an elegant and delicious style of Pinot Gris with aromas and flavours of baked pear, honey, citrus and apricot. It is mouth-filling and complex, with a hint of residual sugar perfectly balancing the acidity. It finishes long and dry. Can be enjoyed on its own or with soft cheeses, pork, chicken and seafood dishes.

Rich and full bodied in style this wine showcases the intensity of flavour and unique qualities found in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Flavours of green fruits and fresh herbs - it is a rich and full-flavoured style with a crisp dry finish which provides freshness and length to the palate. A perfect match for seafood, goats cheese and many Asian inspired dishes.

The nose is bursting with melons, peach and ripe tropical and citrus fruits, followed by a generous fruit-driven palate. Classic Chardonnay roundness, giving a mouth-filling finish.

Ripe peach, citrus with floral characters, rounded mouth feel and pleasant dry finish. Great with shellfish.

Tropical flavours, lime zest, passionfruit and herbaceous characters. Great match with fish or salad dishes.

Pinot Noir is fickle but she is charming, she is temperamental but bewitching. She is the Fickle Mistress.
