This is a fresh and elegant style of Pinot Gris with aromas and flavours of pear, red apple, citrus and baking spices. Time on lees has built gentle texture and added complexity to this wine. A hint of residual sugar balances the acidity, it finishes dry with good persistence.

This is a very aromatic and intensely flavoured Sauvignon Blanc true to its Marlborough origins. It is a rich and full-flavoured style with a crisp dry finish which provides freshness and length to the palate.

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.

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

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.

Perfect winter wine for beside the fire, venison stew, slow cooked beef cheeks.

Forager Chardonnay is a pure expression of place, crafted from hand-picked grapes grown on a tiny chalky hillside vineyard in North Canterbury. Shaped by cool-climate conditions and warm prevailing winds, the vines produce fruit with depth, freshness, and character. Guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention, the wine is gently whole-bunch pressed and naturally fermented in French oak barrels before aging without fining or heavy oak influence. The result is a refined, textural Chardonnay that balances precision, natural purity, and a true sense of the vineyard it comes from.

Crafted from hand-picked hillside fruit grown on limestone slopes in North Canterbury, Forager Pinot Noir is a pure expression of place and thoughtful winemaking.

Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this is Pinot Noir with texture, elegance, and authenticity - a quietly powerful wine shaped by the land it comes from.
