Groves Chardonnay 2022 - WineFolio A single vineyard wine from Martinborough, from an organically-farmed vineyard, and a rarity, with only 483 bottles made. A straw-green colour in the glass. The perfume is as savoury as …

Here is a snippet of the beautifully written, effusive praise from NZ wine critic David Bell on the 2022 Groves Chardonnay from Drummond Farm, Martinborough:

"...The perfume is as savoury as it is fruity, with notes of green olive, tarragon, fennel, white wood smoke and a flinty minerality..."

“Quite a complex bouquet with scents of lees and perhaps an older barrel ferment component. Aromas of peaches and preserved lemon with a clay and floral note. Satin textured with plenty of acidity and some warming alcohol. Fruit and wine making flavours reflect the bouquet. A young wine with lots of potential with best drinking from 2022 through 2025+.” Cameron Douglas MS

Out with a Filly checking out the winter vineyards in Martinborough. Love seeing different stages of vine growth, pruning styles and management. All the while listening to the clippity clop of hooves out of the mud enjoying the late afternoon sunshine. Love life 💕

Our Pinot Noir 2020 on route to The Tinted Rose on Ponsonby Road.

“More than just a cute name, The Tinted Rose is hands-down one of Ponsonby's best bars, bringing absolutely bangin' cocktails and tapas to the table, along with an enviable back garden which is cute by day, and even cuter by night. As red wine fans, we're crushing on their long list of varietals, hailing from Central Otago to Cali and everywhere in between.” theurbanlist.co

So why not give it a try and let us know what you think 😁

One of the beautiful and unique aspects of wine are the limitations inherent in the production being based on the annual cultivation and harvest of grapes. This means that not only are no two wines from different years the same, but when a wine from a vintage is gone, it can never be made again.

Some vintages are particularly special, and the 2016 Groves Martinborough Pinot Noir is one such wine. Deep, dark, rich and earthy, this has been one of our favourite wines over recent years.

These bottles pictured are the last two we have, if you haven't experienced this wine then I highly recommend that you do!

Meet the latest addition to our wine stable FILLY Chardonnay 2021 - where a passion for the equine world and wine met.

The relationship of human to wine and horses is one of natural connection. As with horses and riding the making of wine requires patience, understanding sometimes the ability to be demanding then gentle, caring and attentive to little details. Both things are an expression of human in unison with the natural world, reliant on and elevated as an experience by the senses.
