Great wine is so much more than just fermented grape juice it is an alchemy in which unique terroir and skilled winemaking unite. At Dashwood, they create wines that are true reflections of New Zealand's Marlborough region. They are as cool as the winds that whip through our valleys each day and as imposing as the towering mountains that frame our vineyards. We have been tending vineyards and making wine in Marlborough for over twenty years. Their home is important to them, and they see their role as a caretaker of this part of the world. They strive to minimize or eliminate any activities that are wasteful or harmful to the environment so that future generations can continue to enjoy our extraordinary landscape. This Rosé is a summery delight for the senses. Aromas and flavours of strawberry, raspberry and cream soda are met with an off-dry finish. Enjoy well chilled!

Marlborough is a special place for wine. Perhaps it's the cloudless skies or mild temperatures or well-drained soils. It could be the long growing season or their sustainably-farmed vineyards. Whatever the reason, the result is wines that are marked by piercingly vibrant fruit flavours and lively acidity. Scents of mango, lime and passionfruit introduce this Sauvignon Blanc. A weighty, tropical palate is in perfect harmony with the crisp, acidic finish Marlborough is known for.

Inspired by the winding road leading from Queenstown to Kingston along the shores of Lake Wakatipu and sourced from Rockburn's Central Otago vineyards, the Devil's Staircase Pinot Gris takes the willing down into the realm of decadence and Bacchanalian delights.

A pure, bright and youthful citrus driven chardonnay with complex smoky, flint, toast and biscuit notes derived from extended barrel aging on full solids. The palate is focussed and restrained which unfurls on the finish and exposes the intense citrus core with underlying cashew, nutty flavours.

This Sauvignon Blanc is dry in style, complex and mouth filling. Aromas of gooseberries, nettle, melon, tropical fruit and citrus blossom are noticeable on the nose. Balanced acidity ensures a crisp focused palate, with good minerality and flavours of sweet ripe passionfruit and citrus. The finish is long and clean.

Classic, fresh seaside Chardonnay blended with a small portion from Elephant Hill's warmer inland vineyard adding richness. Racy and flavoursome with piercing citrus, underlying peachy ripe notes. Mouthwatering and concentrated, elegant and refined.

This is a medium bodied and elegant Hawke's Bay Chardonnay. Its flavour profile is a mix of stonefruit, grilled nuts, grapefruit and yeasty nuances. It is both complex and delicious.

The nose is bursting with melons, peach and ripe tropical and citrus fruits, followed by a generous fruit-driven palate. Classic Chardonnay roundness, giving a mouth-filling finish.

Ripe peach, citrus with floral characters, rounded mouth feel and pleasant dry finish. Great with shellfish.
