Crimson is our selection of fruit from younger parcels of vines from our various vineyards on the Martinborough Terrace. In their youth, vines tend to be more fruit expressive, gaining more complexity with time. Now, Crimson is developing more depth of flavour, with a mix of vines aged from 5 to 20 years.

Arguably New Zealand's finest Pinot Noir, certainly if track records are taken into account, Ata Rangi have been doing Pinot Noir better and for longer than anyone. An incredibly consistent wine since the early 1980s, they've had a dream run even by their lofty standards with four of the finest vintages ever in succession.

Working with two of the world's great wine varieties grown in one of the world's great red wine regions provides a special foundation for any winemaker. The result is a full flavoured, deliciously indulgent, opulent and warm, dry wine, dark and sweetly fruited with a hint of blackberry and plum, with a big hit of cocoa on the finish.

From Babich's estate-owned and certified sustainable vineyards in the iconic Gimblett Gravels and Bridge Pa Triangle sub-regions, this Hawke's Bay Syrah offers delicate raspberry and floral flavours in a light, fresh and peppery style.

Babich's flagship Irongate Vineyard is situated in an old shingle bed of the Ngaruroro River in the Gimblett Gravels appellation of Hawke's Bay. First produced in 1987, this single vineyard wine has evolved to represent the very best of their craft. Crop-levels are heavily restricted to deliver excellent flavour concentration in the grapes, with the final blend delivering a rich, round and complex wine. Blackberry, blueberry, cigar box and plum aromas. Inviting and warm with a touch of spice, charcuterie and well-integrated oak. Smooth and seamless with layers of sweet dark fruits, cocoa, leather, cedar and liquorish. Dense, concentrated and vibrant with a long finish.

In the early 1980's Babich Wines was the first New Zealand wine company to win a Gold Medal for Pinot Noir, and that legacy of excellence remains. From their 100% certified sustainable vineyards in Marlborough's prime subregions, comes this smoothly luxurious Pinot Noir. Silky where it should be and expressive where it counts - bright cherry, plum and earthy flavours. A little spice and a soft, welcoming finish.

The very best of Babich. Poised, powerful, and always at home at the head of the table. The Patriarch is Babich's flagship red wine crafted in honour of the winery founder and New Zealand wine industry pioneer, Josip Babich. Light floral, smoky notes over complex almond, blackberry and plum aromas. Presents initially with a savoury, umami hit that opens into fruit cake with Christmas spices. Layers fresh berries with black Doris plum. Complex, elegant and dense. Warm and lingering.

A medium intensity ruby red colour and a spicy bouquet with notes of red fruit and currants make this a round and ample wine with a very supple palate.

The vines of Château des Laurets are spread over two neighbouring appellations: Montagne-Saint-Émilion and Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion. The vineyards are planted on south-facing slopes with limestone outcrops. The excellent clay-limestone soil gives this Merlot-based Saint-Émilion wine its distinctive taste. The 2017, bottled in July 2019, has a rather intense ruby red colour. The first impression on the nose offers a subtle blend of black fruit aromas with a dominant of blackcurrant. The mouth reveals a frank and assumed structure directed all in length, no excessive opulence in this vintage all in 'lace'. The aromas of fresh and crisp fruit give the wine a juicy side, all well chiselled by an already well-integrated woodiness. As is often the case at Château des Laurets, the small, spicy notes on the finish perfectly enhance the lovely tension of the overall.

Already a lot of immediate pleasure, with potential for at least 8-10 years.

Smooth and full bodied with flavours of blackberry, dark chocolate and spicy oak characters, followed by a concentrated palate displaying excellent depth and density.

Highly expressive, wonderfully complex, a beautifully bold, commanding wine style. Fragrant black plum, fresh berry fruits and cinnamon spice, leading to a silky cocoa centre.

Vibrant characteristics of red plum, black pepper and spice create a striking presence.
