Graggy Range 2012 Pinot Noir



Graggy Range 2012 Pinot Noir Martinborough NZ
A dark cherry red in colour that is showing the signs of age. Lush ripe cherries, dusty earth with snapped green twigs, a hint of barnyard in the back ground. Dark cherries and earthy truffles with greenish twigs, what a great mix who would of thought. It is full and round with a super smooth velvet finish. We enjoy it with Dauphinoise cheese, Jamon iberico ham on slices of a baguette and pretended we were in Burgundy for a moment. Yummilicious 18/20 cheers Gaz

Sileni 2015 Sauvignon Blanc



Sileni 2015 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough NZ
A light straw in colour that is bright and sparkling. Ripe passion fruit pops out of the glass first that blends into tropical fruit salad. The passion fruit comes through to the palate with some crisp star fruit, the acid is in check with a full, long and smooth finish. I am thinking tempura prawns with a wasabi mayo. 17/20 cheers Gaz
