					<description><![CDATA[Journey into the wildflowers, a secret world between the vines where insects dance from petal to stem, a flourishing ecosystem amongst the rows. It’s all part of the Petal &#38; Stem’s project to protect the vines and keep pests away naturally. So as you’re busy enjoying this wine, remember these little friends between the flowers who help to do things both differently, and beautifully.

Petal &#38; Stem Rosé captures the vibrant spirit of New Zealand’s cool-climate viticulture in a wine that is as elegant as it is refreshing. Crafted from select parcels in Marlborough, this vintage showcases purity of fruit, floral finesse, and a clean, dry finish. Perfectly embodying the sophisticated style of modern rosé.

					<description><![CDATA[The award-winning Calrossie Vineyard wines from the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand are celebrated for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. Calrossie Vineyard wines are the product of meticulous attention to detail and offer elegant expressions of vineyard and vintage.

100% Sauvignon Blanc, the fruit was sourced from the Rose Family Vineyard in Omaka Valley, Marlborough. Chosen for its similarity to the Calrossie Vineyard (in the Awatere Valley), the soils are also wind-blown loess over rich clay. The 2023 growing season in Marlborough was an easy one, perhaps only made challenging by rain at harvest time. That said, good luck and a well- timed pick had us harvest the fruit at perfect ripeness and in great condition.

Calrossie Vineyard wines are the product of meticulous attention to detail and offer elegant expressions of vineyard and vintage.

This 2024 Dry Riesling is the first release of Riesling as a standalone variety. Typically harvested and fermented with Sauvignon Blanc, the textbook 2024 vintage gave the perfect opportunity to separately harvest and ferment this as a standalone wine worth of its own label and bottling.

From rich clay soils and high-density planted vines, Calrossie Vineyard produces wines of great palate weight, fresh acidity and intensity of flavour. The 2024 vintage was a low yielding, cool and dry one, allowing to pick the fruit on at perfect physiological ripeness without any pressure from weather or other events.

					<description><![CDATA[Thinking differently is what they do at Yealands. Crafting award-winning wines in harmony with nature has seen us lead the world in sustainable winegrowing. But most importantly, it means great tasting wines which don’t cost the earth.

The S1 block Sauvignon Blanc comes from a sun soaked site, moderated by cool, coastal breezes on our Seaview Vineyard. The subsequent style and flavours reflect this terroir, with flavours of ripe nectarine and a lush, full palate balanced by mouth-watering mineral acidity.

At Yealands, the aim is to leave the land better than we found it. This is achieved through a wide range of initiatives and on-going projects including developing wetlands, making their own special compost and using natural pest control measures in the vineyards.

					<description><![CDATA[The vineyards from which Kono sources its grapes are spread predominantly throughout the sub-regions of Marlborough.
Each have their own unique micro climate and soil type, each with its own distinct flavour profile.
The difference is the key to blending a truly authentic expression of the region’s terroir.
The gift of knowledge and rich, unspoiled lands have created award winning wines over flowing with personality and purity.

Pinot Noir is a grape that elicits passionate devotion from wine lovers and is one of the most highly prized wines in the world. The grapes for this wine were sourced from our premium Kono vineyards located in both the Marlborough and Nelson regions of the South Island of New Zealand. Kono Pinot Noir is made to consume as a youthful wine - from two to five years from vintage.

This elegant Pinot Noir from New Zealand’s South Island displays layers of aromatic red berries and spice with hints of wild thyme.</p>

Flavours of red and dark fruits are finely integrated with French oak on the palate, leading to a balanced finish with a good persistence and length.</p>

Once the fermentation is complete the wine undergoes a short period of maturation on skins before being pressed directly to a mix of old and new French barriques.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Match it with venison, cured meats, BBQ, duck and cheese.</p>
