Definitely the product of some serious hard toil - and some serious fun winemaking - all in one pack. One of our favourite places in Marlborough is the Waihopai Valley, and every year we come up with uniquely awesome blends from our very best blocks. The reviews for both our Waihopai 2019 and Waihopai 2020 speak for themselves. Don't be fooled, they are both very different wines to experience.
FREIGHT INCLUDED NATIONWIDE
Waihopai 2019
This incredible blend of some our very best fruit from each vintage in the Wahopai: Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Gris and Gewurztraminer, hand harvested, gently crushed and naturally fermented. The beautiful baby has the lush, stonefruit flavours of Pinot Gris, the tropical and citrus fruits of Sauvignon Gris and the sweet, spicyness (think Turkish delight!) of Gewurtz. This is such a good (and different!) food wine – you could try it with anything from spicy Asian cuisine to a more full flavoured chicken, pork or seafood dish.
Waihopai 2020
Not to be confused with our 2019 limited release Waihopai, our 2020 is just a little bit different comprised of Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner & Riesling. This is definitely one of rockstar drops - what you will get is white florals, lychee, spice and fresh mango. This is the perfect wine to sample with a cheese and meat platter, or the more obvious conterpart: Asian spices or smoky BBQ. We cannot reccomend the Waihopai 2020 experience enough.
"A fabulous blend of Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Gris and Gewürztraminer, the wine shows apricot, grapefruit, lychee and fragrant spice characters with a hint of Turkish Delight. It is concentrated and succulent on the palate with lovely fruit intensity together with plush mouthfeel and vibrant acidity, leading to a persistent textural finish. Wonderfully flavoursome and harmonious. At its best: now to 2023"
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"It’s fresh and inviting on the nose showing yellow peach, mango, fig and floral aromas. The palate is equally attractive with juicy fruit intensity and fleshy texture, leading to a lingering refreshing finish. Wonderfully harmonious and delectably expressed. A blend of Gewurztraminer, Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. At its best: now to 2025."
