Each site brings its own characters and flavours to the blend. The grapes are harvested in the cool of the morning, gently crushed and pressed to separate the full flavoured grape juice from the skins. The juices are then allowed to settle prior to racking and clarifying. Components are treated to a long cool fermentation before taste trials and blending aimed at retaining the aromatics and fresh fruit characters. The finished wine is assembled to express a range of flavours from capsicum and citrus through to gooseberry and ripe tropical fruits.

Pale straw in colour. Fragrances of gooseberry and capsicum, bouquets of passionfruit and gooseberry, followed by the green vegetal of peas and asparagus, grasses and stalk.

A generously flavoured Marlborough wine which has claimed highly coveted accolades at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards. Tylers Stream is a boutique operation which continues to grow from strength to strength. Completely unoaked, in easy drinking styling, it sings of kiwifruit and lychee. Many of the contributing vines surround the winery itself, whence the Tyler Stream flows closely by. Kiwifruit, lemongrass and passion throughout, firm but balanced acid backbone, a generous wine of concentration and poise.

$1699each $203DOZEN EACH DOZEN Tylers Stream is vinified from grapes grown to the Wairau Valley, off vines planted to relatively young riverbed soils that generally are stony, well drained and quite silty. The long cool growing seasons of these highly favourable microclimes, as characterised by warm sunny days and cool nights, achieve fruit with good natural acidity and clean, fresh flavours. Soil profiles, vineyard practices and levels of fruit maturity at harvest all contribute complexity to the finished wine. Tylers Stream is crafted by Andrew Hedley from parcels of choice Sauvignon Blanc, fashioned into a clean and forward drinking, unwooded fruit driven styling without any exposure to oak.

Like it's namesake, Tyler's Stream gleams in the glass, a crystal clear pale straw. A deliciously vibrant, fruit packed entry with fresh, lifted, fully ripe aromas. Intensely pungent with asparagus, petulant characters of freshly cut grass and smacks of green vegetable. Lively palate of pineapple and gooseberry, ample citrus, tangy with lime before a clean, lingering finish.

Vavasour pioneered viticulture in the Awatere Valley, under the imposing presence of Tapuae-O-Uenuku. Vavasour’s vineyard is noteworthy for its wide diurnal temperature swings, it's the combination of soils and clime which shape the inimitable character of Vavasour wine. The refined elegance of their Pinot Gris shows why many others have followed the lead. Sweetly spiced on the nose and palate, yet pleasingly dry, soft savoury aromas are reflected by intensely concentrated flavours on the palate.

$2399each $287DOZEN EACH DOZEN Pinot Gris is harvested off Vavasour's favourite blocks on the Home vineyard throughout the cool of autumn mornings. To ensure concentration and weight on the palate, yields are kept low. After whole bunch pressing, the juices are split and a component is vinified in seasoned old French oak barriques employing wild yeasts from the vineyard, the major portion of fruit is treated to vinification in temperature controlled fermenters. Five months of lees stirring adds richness and texture without sacrificing delicate aromatics. The wine is assembled to display a lovely mix of flavours within a rich palate exhibiting the essential Marlborough zing, followed by a brief spell of maturation.

Pale gold colour. Vavasour shows lifted tropical fruit, melons and citrus, subtle pear and jasmine notes. Made to a dry style, the richly structured palate exhibits luscious layers of fruit, with hints of pear and ginger, followed by a long mineral finish that's so distinctive of Awatere Valley. Pleasingly crisp and dry, very ready to drink now. Introduce Vavasour to a crisply roasted duck and you have a match made in heaven.
