Chardonnay
In the Wairau Plains sub-region of Marlborough lies Rapaura, traditionally referred to as ‘the Golden Triangle’ where Heather and Milton Staple’s hand-tended Walnut Flat Vineyard is located. A concentrated and complex Chardonnay with great balance stemming from vine age and warm days-cold nights. The smoky and flint elements in the savoury spectrum defining modern chardonnay carry through the aromatic profile. A strong spine of citrus and white nectarine fruit, integrated French oak and a creamy texture that carries incredible length and persistence intertwine with a fine-tuned acidity.

Sauvignon Blanc
Situated on a river terrace plateau in the Waihopai Valley sits Richard and Anna Laugesen’s vineyard. Its elevation allows for perfect ripening time on the vine, and its unique terroir produces wonderfully expressive fruit. The unique terroir has shaped a beautifully fragrant wine rich with lime zest, blackcurrant and boxwood aromas. The citrus and passion fruit flavours are balanced by a salty freshness providing a textural crunch and a deliciously long finish.

Pinot Noir
Tucked away in the Omaka Valley, lies the picturesque Raupo Vineyard. Known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir fruit in Marlborough, the high plant density and significant vine age promise exceptional flavour. Displaying a pale garnet hue with an intense savoury and blue fruit nose and a palate delivering an abundance of juicy sweet fruit. A real charmer, already seductive and delicious in its youth, there is a fine tannin framework for future bottle development and a sleek acid backbone for balance.
