FIDDLER’S GREEN VINEYARD & BISTRO PINOT NOIR RESERVE 2018

This pinot noir was aged for 17 months in the barrel, with the last three months spent resting in a specially imported American oak barrel from Jack Daniel’s Distillery. The wine is elegant yet supple, with a silky texture, good acid balance and smooth tannins on the finish.

PEGASUS BAY RESERVE BEL CANTO DRY RIESLING 2017

The orange zest aroma so characteristic of North Canterbury rieslings is here in abundance, and a small amount of spritzig from retained natural carbon dioxide adds extra liveliness.
