Lake Hayes Pinot Gris 2014

Very smooth and drinkable. Nice depth as well. It's crisp and light on the tongue almost like it is carbonated. — 7 years ago

So vibrant and energetic. Dark fruit, herbs, and dirt. A bit of co2 spritz which in addition to the acid makes it incredibly refreshing. — 8 years ago

Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Can't remember what this wine tasted like, but when we landed the helicopter on a knoll high atop lake wakatipu and hiked out to the edge, it was as good as sauv blanc gets. — 8 years ago

Sounds like a great trip! Bill wants to borrow your helicopter to land at Screagle. (WB joke)

9.1

On the nose, sour & sweet; pear, lemon, lime, green apple and white & yellow florals. Dry in style. Pear, green apple, underripe green melon with rhine, spice, canned pears, white peach, stones, spice that rises, delicate minerals with great acidity and finish. Photos of additional tasting areas, clean water photo of our drive outside Queenstown and their garden sign. New Zealand lake water is so much cleaner than ours. — 7 years ago

Really pretty, high quality, fruit. Cherry and cranberry. A medley of non-fruit in the background waiting to come forward, but I didn't spend enough time with it. Just a mouthful without being heavy. Very soft, powdery, tannins. This will be a beauty in a few years. — 8 years ago

Lake Wanaka Central Otago Gewürztraminer 2014

Not a typical Gewürtz. More like a perfumed Riesling with an added spice component. — 8 years ago

Explotion in your mouth. A fantastic outsider from Otago an awesome land.
