Greystone Organic Pétillant Naturel 2020
Attractive and flavoursome with a natural effervescence. The palate is fresh and the finish is long. Fresh, dry and with a persistent and fine mousse.

A delicious, generous wine offering tropical and white flower notes underpinned by a lovely citrus acidity.

Mount Edward Gruner Veltliner 2016
This is an excellent example of cool-climate Grüner Veltliner. Grown organically on the Morrison vineyard planted by Duncan Forsyth in the late 1990s, this has great purity of fruit and shows the lovely texture and spice that this Austrian variety is known for.

Pegasus Bay Gewürztraminer 2019
Skin contact and fermenting with solids provide increased structure and a subtle hint of struck match, while the oak aging and lees contact adds mouth feel. On the palate it is rich and unctuous, with ripe phenolics and a lingering aftertaste of fresh ginger that complement the wine’s off-dry finish.
Petane Station Pinot Gris 2018
Selectively hand-picked, phenologically ripe berries are gently whole bunch pressed and, post ferment, the wine is left on its yeast lees for 8 months to evolve. A further four months of bottle maturation, prior to release, allows the wine to rest and achieve its full potential. The result is a Gris that’s deliciously rich and flavoursome with an off-dry finish. As Philip puts it, “This is a serious Pinot Gris that tips a hat toward Alsace with cellaring potential of 7+ years.”
Quartz Reef Méthode Traditionnelle Rose
100% Pinot Noir was hand-picked. Bottle fermented and aged on lees for a minimum of 18 months.
A romantic bouquet of strawberry sherbet and rose petal with a hint of shortbread. Enhanced by lush pinot notes, a creamy acidity and a touch of nutmeg in the finish. Vibrant with an alluring length, focus and clarity.

This Pinot is a lighter, more fruit-forward style than many. When the sun dips into the horizon, it’s time to rip out the sundowners!
