Awhitu Wines
The wine varieties are well matched to the locale and the effort put into pruning, foliage management, and early thinning of bunches, is reflected in a smaller harvest of top quality grapes.
Greenock Syrah
The hand-crafted Syrah wine is made in a Rhone style and matured in 50% new and seasoned barriques for 12-14 months. It is released not less than 3 years after bottling.
The nose suggests lifted aromas of dark berry fruits, leather and peppery spice, while the palate reflects integrated tannins and full bodied layers of flavour.
$35.00 per bottle
$385.00 per case
Harbour Rosé
The well-structured Syrah based Rosé is salmon pink in colour with vibrant aromas of summer red fruits and spice on the nose.
Very French in style, this delightful wine is mouth-filling, juicy and soft with a crisp, lingering finish - the perfect complement for summer lunches.
$25.00 per bottle
$270.00 per case
Peninsula Chardonnay
The Chardonnay is a traditional Burgundian style.
The whole bunches are pressed directly to barrel.
Regular lees stirring over 10 months in new and seasoned oak has produced a fine, elegant wine for those who appreciate Chardonnay with finesse.
This wine has a nose of stonefruit with citrus hints, biscuity.
The palate reflects mineral characters typical of Auckland chardonnay, nicely integrated tight, medium weight, great balance.
