"Great example of cool climate wines. Good dry Riesling and Spicy Pinot noir similar to martinborough, New Zealand, but expensive."

"Cabernet/Sangiovese blend"

"The Sauvignon Blanc is much rounder than typical of New Zealand- very enjoyable; the chardonnay is a lighter, Burgundian style ; and the blended reds are very unusual by their strong oak influence."

"Oldest vineyard in southern highlands. Still owned and the wines are still made by the founder. All wines are excellent."

"The pinot noir is a spicier style than a New Zealand central Otago pinot; much more like a pinot from martinborough."

"Extensive range of red and white wines; all worth trying. The fume Blanc is an excellent example of an Oaked Sauvignon Blanc and the savagnin is an interesting grape to try if you haven't before."
