Fresh and vibrant, skin contact makes this wine textural and a touch savoury - very drinkable. — 9 years ago

Gewurztraminer is a varietal that does particularly well in New Zealand in my tasting experience. Gorgeous nose of lychees with floral spicy notes. Voluptuous on the front and middle palates but finishes dry. The perfect wine with Asian food. In a word - delicious. Another brilliant Gewürztraminer is made at Gisborne in the North Island by Vinoptima whose goal it is to produce the worlds best Gewürztraminer to challenge the Grand Crus of Alsace. — 9 years ago

Gisborne Chardonnay produces sweet melon characters which in this wine have been overtaken by very ripe stone fruit and aged characters of Creme Caramel and almost burnt honey. Bang on drinking and perfect timing. 2005 vintage — 10 years ago

Amazing quality/price ratio. Graphite and black pepper aromatics points to the smidge of Syrah, blackberries with super fine tannins, ably supported with a lovely vanillin finish. — 9 years ago

Full, rich, sweet, fruity nose. Aromas of honey, poached pear and fig. Viscous, full, and powerful on the palate. Surprisingly bright acidity leads to lots of orange zest, honey, marmalade and fig. The finish is sweet and lively and seemingly lasts forever. It easily has 10-20 years left. Can't believe this is $19.99 on the shelf! — 9 years ago

Pale gold, lime, peach, dry good acidity showing a nutty minerality. First 'own label' wine we've tried from our local Mt Eden merchant (they're not telling me the producer!) and we look forward to trying the other Village Winery wines. — 11 years ago
