The Winemaker range showcases elements other than pure fruit, crafted with texture, complexity and ageworthiness in mind. These wines of tiny production are made from low-cropping single vineyards with a focus on organic viticulture and are vinified using traditional methods. Made from the same block as the Wrekin Chenin Blanc but harvested later in the season. Chenin Blanc makes lovely sweet dessert wines and is a rarity in NZ. The flavours in this Chenin Blanc lend themselves beautifully to a sweeter style, giving a honeyed, luscious wine that ages well and will continue to develop interest.

The Charles Wiffen Riesling is extensively cropped thinned to 8 tonnes to the hectare. In some years they leave a small amount of fruit out to produce their distinctive late harvest Riesling. Hand harvested in the cool of the morning, the grapes are gently de-stemmed and pumped into the press, where the fruit is left to macerate and extract the maximum sugar during the best part of two days. The fruit is then gently pressed to get the very best juice. This succulent wine has lifted aromas of honeyed apricots, marmalade and citrus cheesecake. The palate is defined by similar favours, with a rich, long elegant finish.

Light straw-yellow in appearance, the wine has aromas of lemon peel, honey and wax with lemon sherbet, tropical fruits and butterscotch. The palate is luscious with lovely dried apricots, lemon marmalade, and toffee characters. The wine showcases a bright finish of lemon acidity breaking through the natural residual sweetness. Enjoy with creamy blue vein cheese or washed rind cheeses. A delicious accompaniment for fruit flans or warm winter puddings.

Straw in colour. Deliciously complex with rich layers of honeycomb, dried apricot and fig. The luscious, opulent palate is layered with dried papaya and savoury ginger, with an intense and generous finish. Drinking beautifully now and will continue to develop gracefully with further bottle age over the next ten years.
