Heaphy Moutere Chardonnay, Nelson 2023
This Nelson Chardonnay is a bold yet elegant expression of one of New Zealand’s most exciting grape varieties. Sourced from unirrigated Mendoza clones averaging 30 years old, the grapes are cold pressed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness. Around 30% of the wine is aged in puncheons and barrels, adding depth, complexity, and a subtle smokiness. The result is a Chardonnay that reflects Nelson’s unique terroir, with its hallmark notes of peach, flint and a touch of sea-salt minerality. Tasting Notes Generous and structured, this Chardonnay offers ripe stone fruit, vibrant citrus, and a powerful breadth on the palate. Muscular yet refined, with a seductive smoky edge and long, satisfying finish.

Springfield Estate Life from Stone Sauvignon Blanc 2024
"Life from Stone" is a wine that is deeply connected to its unique terroir, with the rocky, quartz-rich soils playing a significant role in shaping its character. The challenging conditions of the vineyard, including the need for dynamite to plant vines, highlight the immense effort required to cultivate grapes in such harsh, mineral-laden soils. These difficult growing conditions likely contribute to the wine's concentrated flavours, powerful structure, and distinctive flinty, mineral qualities. The wine offers versatility for both immediate enjoyment and aging potential for a few more years, making it a noteworthy expression of its origin.
