Botanical notes, umami, and hints of brown sugar and bran. With time, the young oak will integrate seamlessly, unveiling layers of cedar-like Canadian maple, savoury tobacco, walnut oil, and sage leaf. A spice box of depth and complexity awaits, echoing the essence of our earlier wines. The texture recalls our clay soils; while the minerality from stones may be subtle, it frames the wine's length and serves as the skeleton beneath the fruit. There's a grunt of dehydrated zest and a flourish of blossom flowers. Picture it in shades of blue rather than red - absolutely gorgeous. A true reflection of the spirit of Dry River's beginnings.

A deep dark colour with brilliant purple hues. The bouquet is rich in blackcurrants with hints of chocolate and aniseed followed by dark berry fruits on the palate. The wine is superbly balanced with soft silky tannins on the finish.

Fresh fruits with red berries and spices. Rounded and smooth tannins. A full-bodied, rich and intensely aromatic wine.

Warm, enticing blueberry aromas with mocha chocolate, cedar spice, plums and cassis. Big, soft and generous, the palate displays plum and berry compote, toasted vanilla and boysenberry. Hints of mocha chocolate complement the rich, velvety finish.

This is a smooth and fruit orientated Gimblett Gravels blend. Deep purple in colour, it has a bouquet of dried herbs, red berries and subtle hints of cedar from a period of barrel maturation.

Pinot Noir; notoriously difficult to cultivate, but with luck, love & perfect conditions, she will reward you with the performance of a life time - a minx & a devil in disguise, a Fickle Mistress. Central Otago's cool climate consistently produces exceptional red fruit flavours of cherry, raspberry and redcurrant, but with concentration and length to match. This wine is layered with black and red berry fruits, complemented by blossoming aromas of dark plum.

Aromas of plum, dark berry fruit, vanilla, mocha, and warm toasted oak notes on the nose lead to berry and plum fruit flavours. Juicy in style with smooth tannins.

Dark ruby-red, with purple highlights; nose brimming with ripe fruit - especially plums and cherries - with hints of spices reminiscent of cinnamon and cloves, merging into a fine balance with toasted overtones of coffee and cocoa. Starts out on the palate providing a warm feeling of volume and body, with the fruit blending marvellously with the soft tannins and the acidity, while its long finish is due above-all to the great savouriness featured in a aftertaste of blackberry jam.

Expressive on the nose, with notes of violet and mulberry. On the palate, gentle tannins frame a core of red berry fruit, with just a touch of raspberry-ripple ice-cream. Juicy and fresh on the finish; the lasting impression is that of fresh-picked strawberries on a warm summer day. We have also changed the closure to a Diam 10 origine, using beeswax instead of synthetic glues to hold the fibers together, a more natural closure.

Fragrant and appealing on the nose, with notes of dark berry fruit, cacao, and black pepper. The palate has a delicious, mouthwatering vibrancy, with a juicy summer berry character, framed by ripe, finely-realised tannins. This wine is light on its feet, walking a very fine line between ripeness and acidity, and showing incredible poise and balance. Long on the finish, with lingering notes of boysenberry and store cupboard spice. This Syrah will work well with a surprising range of cuisines due to the combination of fruit, spice, and structure. Fromm recommend trying it with slow cooked lamb shoulder, glazed with pomegranate molasses, or with char siu pork.
