Amoise 'Amphora Gris' Orange Pinot Gris
Under her Amoise label, Hawkes Bay-based Amy Farnsworth has steadily built one of the most recognisable ranges in the 'new wave' of New Zealand natural wine.
Working with organic fruit and farming with biodynamic principles (often hand-tending her own rows), Amy's intention with Amoise is to make "delicious, digestible" wines without any additions - unfined, unfiltered, and no use of sulphur.
Gris was the first wine she ever released under Amoise (in 2018); and six vintages and many accolades later, it's become one of New Zealand's best and most delicious orange wines. This latest release is no exception either!
Hawke's Bay's 2024 vintage was strong, allowing the grapes to sit on skins for three and a half weeks, undisturbed, with barely a plunge. Pressed to hand-thrown Tinajas (traditional clay vessels, also known as amphorae; made by the León family in Spain since 1783) the wine has emerged characteristically delicious and a great, approachable example of skin-contact wine. Pair this with all sorts - from sashimi to fried chicken - or don’t - it works equally well as an aperitif.
Tasting Notes
Textural. Warm spice and ginger gives way to fresh pear, preserved citrus and marmalade, with a quinine, saline lift on the finish.
Deep orange-amber in the glass, it’s equally fresh and complex.
Winemaker's Notes
"Made to be approachable to all and a pleasure to pair with so many different food types, from fish to charcuterie as well as spicy Asian inspired dishes.Besides being magical and fragile vessels all the same, I love the purity of fruit and intact expression that one can achieve by fermenting & ageing the wine in amphorae. No additions at any stage, including sulphur. The wine is unfiltered and unfined."

Angove Vineyard Selection Shiraz
The Angove Family are fifth generation grape growers based in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Producing a wide range of wines across all price points, this wine took our interest as something accessible that we could offer while our next Terroir Project Shiraz gets bottled - this wine is true to form and everything we look for in a South Australian Shiraz.
Producer's Tasting Notes:Colour: Rich intense purpleAroma: Cherries, ripe raspberry, subtle spice and vanillin aromas come to the fore on the nose. Flavour: The spicy fruit flavours and deft oak create a wine of great enjoyment and balanceCellar Potential: Now - 2030Vegan FriendlyWinemaking: These grapes are brought into our Vintage House, the oldest part of our winery, and crushed into 70 year old concrete vats where the fermentation is initiated by the indigenous “wild” yeasts found on the grape skins. Careful extraction and short post fermentation maceration is followed by pressing. The resultant wine is transferred to American oak where the malolactic fermentation is completed before racking and maturation for 9 months. A careful assemblage is followed by minimal filtration and bottling.
Vineyards: 100% McLaren Vale, the grapes were sourced from a careful selection of low interventionist vineyards across the stunning McLaren Vale region, from Blewitt Springs and Seaview in the North through to Willunga and Sellicks Hill in the South. The range of sites vary greatly in soil, aspect, and vine age, and when combine create a complex wine that refl ects the true, rich character of McLaren Vale shiraz. McLaren Vale fared well in a challenging vintage, due to the moderating influence of the Gulf St Vincent, reliable spring rainfall and and excellent water management; enabling the vines to grow unimpeded during hot spells. Yield was slightly impacted by a hailstorm during flowering in November, and a day in January where temperatures soared to 46.6°C, burning some leaves and fruit. Harvest was fast and furious and while quality was exceptional, yields were down by up to 25%
Atipico 'Under the Plum Tree' Chilled Red
As always, Under the Plum Tree is a field blend of organic Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc, from a small block in Rapaura, Marlborough.
The wine gets its name from the pair of plum trees that dot the centre of the vineyard, where winemaker Jordan Hogg allows the grapes to naturally ferment in small vessels under the trees, amongst the vines - a term he playfully calls vinsitu.
The resulting wine is an absolute pleasure to drink. While light and fresh, it's front-loaded with intense cherry, raspberry and blood orange. The white grapes provide juiciness and structure, layering the wine with spice, woody herb, and delicate floral notes. The wine is expertly balanced (notoriously difficult for field blends) and complex while remaining very, very moreish.
Grapes:
87% Pinot Noir, 10% Pinot Blanc,3% Pinot Gris
Winemaking:
Handpicked by friends and family on the 22nd of March. The grape clusters were placed in small fermenters in the vineyard block, under the autumnal branches of the plum tree.A gentle foot stomp on the bottom layer of fruit to release some juice was followed by wild fermentation beginning a few days later. A ferment influenced by the ambient temperatures, environment and season.
After 9 days in the vineyard the wine was moved a few hundred metres to the winery to be gently drained and pressed. It was aged in old barriques for 6 months, before being racked with a small 40ppm addition of sulphur dioxide. Bottled unfined and unfiltered inSeptember 2024. A naturally occurring sediment is expected. Chill bottle upright prior to enjoying.

On the palate, it’s juicy yet structured, with fine-grained tannins and a gentle acidity that keeps the richness in check. Flavours of berry compôte and christmas cake lead into a savoury, evolved finish with a touch of cocoa and sandalwood.
Elegant, layered, complex, this is an old world classic red with depth, warmth and a confident sense of place. Served at a number of our favourite Auckland restaurants. This wine is full of soul.

Zero use of herbicide and insecticide.WINE MAKING : We use only grapes from our own vineyards, harvested by hand when natural sugar and acidity are in perfect balance.

----
Today, Marie runs the estate, and with the help of her husband, cultivates 9 hectares of vines across three distinct terroirs: Côte de Sézanne, Côte des Bar, and Vallée de la Marne. All three classic Champagne varieties are grown - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier - though Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs) is what she is most famous for.
The domaine has been certified organic since 2021, with a total of 10.5 hectares of vineyards (leased & owned) under organic management. Marie employs low-intervention winemaking methods, wild fermentation, extended lees aging, minimal dosage and extended élevage in bottle before release to ensure the wines best reflect the vines and their soils.
Copinet’s wines span from the elegant classicism of her "house-style" Blanc de Blancs Brut to the more expressive single-vineyard bottlings, capturing the nuances of each parcel and vineyard in vivid, lucid brushstrokes.
In a region where more than 19,000 growers sell the fruits of their labour to just a handful of large, corporate Champagne houses (such as Moët, Veuve etc), it is refreshing to support a small, indendent vigneronne who grows her own fruit to produce her own wine, thus embracing the true 'Grower Champagne' spirit.

Domaine de Chatillon Gamay Noir
Drive 2 1/2 hours southeast from Beaujolais and you arrive at Savoie ("Sav-wah"), one of France's smallest and least-known appellations. Savoie might be most famous for it's red variety Mondeuse, but here is a benchmark example of Gamay Noir and everything we know it for: juicy, inviting, dark red fruits - plush, spicy backbone - light, talcy tannins - incredible easy drinking.
Domaine de Chatillon ("cha-tee-yon") is owned by Swiss-born investor and wine lover Ed Peter, who is also the owner of famous Australian estates Yarra Yering and Kaesler.
Tucked away on the northern tip of Lac du Bourget, less than an hour south of Geneva (while still in France), Domaine de Chatillon is a small, quality-focussed producer making wines that are both varietal and vividly expressive of their alpine terroir. The wines are dry-grown, hand-harvested, and wild-fermented. Maturation is in stainless steel or concrete to preserve freshness and fruit purity. Minimal sulphites are used.
With less than 1% of France’s total wine production, Savoie (“Sav-wah”) has long flown under the radar, its wines mostly enjoyed by skiers at Chamonix and the locals. Along with its neighbour, the Jura, Savoie is now seeing high demand for its unique, alpine wines that deliver purity, minerality and precision.
Working with indigenous grapes including Jacquère and Mondeuse, alongside Gamay and Pinot Noir - the wines are clean, expressive and mineral, serving as a lucid expression of the region’s unique high-altitude terroir.
Domaine de Chatillon Jacquere
Jacquère ("jac-kerr") is a white grape variety indigenous to the Savoie. Jacquère has a light, white floral aroma which opens up to a richer, more stonefruity palate. Alpine white at its finest, this wine is mineral and flinty and is a brilliant aperitif or light fresh white wine to start an evening on.

Domaine de Chatillon Mondeuse
While the Savoie is best known for Chamonix, Courchevel, Fondue and Mont Blanc, in the wine world it is best known for Mondeuse. Remarkably similar (though not related) to Syrah, this wine is all about violets, raspberry, cacao and a pinch of white pepper. Deep, juicy and vibrant, this is a plush, long, easy going red that you could drink all night without ever getting bored. Dark red fruits, complex spicy-woody aromas and the Savoie's hallmark high-altitude acidity, these wines are incredibly interesting and unique.

Domaine de Chatillon Rosé
Made from Gamay Noir, this is a rosé with richness and real fruit flavour, while retaining minerality and freshness too. Strawberry, cherry and pomegranate, with a hint of funk and spice. Really unique; high-altitude, old-vine Gamay Noir Rosé from the French Alps.

All of Emma's own wines have won numerous awards in both New Zealand and overseas.
Origin
Leefield Station Vineyard - Waihopai Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand.
Variety
100% Chardonnay.
Vintage
Vintage 2024 will be remembered for being one of Marlborough’s smaller vintages but also for producing exceptional fruit quality. Despite a dry winter and resulting low ground moisture levels, full dams and positive river flows supplied essential soil moisture for the start of the growing season with budburst in mid-September. Minimal frosts occurred, and though November and December were warm, below-average temperatures potentially contributed to the smaller vintage. From December to February, temperatures rose sharply, accompanied by above-average sunshine and below-average rainfall, leading to drought concerns and an early start to harvest.Perfect weather aided steady picking from February until mid-April, allowing fruit to be picked in perfect condition at peak ripeness delivering consistent levels of concentration and complexity of flavour.
Winemaking
These Chardonnay grapes came from a selection of clones grown on our Leefield Station Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley. Hand-harvested and whole bunch pressed, the resulting juices were fermented on full solids in carefully selected French oak barrels. The young wines were left to mature on full yeast lees for a period of 10 months, with occasional stirring to build palate weight. As the weather warmed in early spring, the barrelswere encouraged to go through malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity. This wine was blended and filtered in late summer before bottling in March 2025.

Tasting Note
Aromas of orange blossom, yuzu, and marmalade rise over a subtle backdrop of buttered brioche. The palate unfolds with layers of white peach and a tropical nuance,while flinty minerality adds purity and tension. Supportive oak and a whisper of sandalwood lend warmth and depth, without overshadowing the fruit.
Food Matching
A perfect pairing for spaghettini with mussels, prawns and chilli bisque – this Chardonnay will enhance the dish’s bold flavours while complementing the seafood’s natural sweetness.
Cellaring Potential
Best drinking from 2025 through to 2030.

La Famille Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay
From Burgundy, France. This wine has all the classic hallmark traits of classic white Burgundy. It presents as pale gold in colour with aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus. The palate is concentrated, juicy and round, with citrus and stone fruits and a touch of creaminess. The oak is well-integrated in both aroma and flavour.

La Famille Brut
La Famille ("The Family") Wines are a handpicked family of wines from across the globe, chosen for their ability to express variety, style and region. In the mix you’ll find classics like a Bourgogne Blanc (White Burgundy - Chardonnay), a rustic Montepulciano from Abruzzo, and very soon, a textural Chenin Blanc from Vouvray. These are wines with story, structure and soul, and all serve as benchmarks in their category.
For this release, importers and distributors Wine Diamonds have unearthed a special parcel of Marlborough Riesling, grown sustainably on a unique patchwork of deep clay and alluvial river stones. It’s this tension between the full-bodied clay and the mineral-rich stones that gives the wine palate weight, aromatics and acidity — an ideal foundation for sparkling Riesling.
This is a Brut sparkling — that is to say it is dry - but this is far from lean or austere. Expect a wine that balances richness with refreshment: aromas of lemon verbena, grapefruit pith and orange blossom flow from the glass, while the palate is crisp, fine-boned, and zippy. There’s a lovely citrus edge and a clean, salivating finish that keeps you coming back for more. Light on its feet but with serious intent — this is sparkling with poise, charm, and serious drinkability.
Lauren Langfield Cabernet Franc
Lauren Langfield may be a new wine label in Australia, but she is by no means new to the wine industry. After graduating from Lincoln University in Canterbury, Lauren worked in Marlborough and then Nelson before heading to Australia in 2011 where she worked as Winemaker for William Downie, then BK Wines before moving on to become the Manager and Chief Winemaker at Orbis Wines in McLaren Vale. Lauren established her own label in 2021 with fruit sourced from Gareth Belton of Gentle Folk Wines.
In 2022, Lauren won 'Best New Act' in the Australian Young Gun of Wine Awards and then a year later she won the main award, the 'Young Gun of Wine'. Since then her wines have captured the attention of a number of Australian Sommeliers, being listed at some of Australia's best restaurants and sold in all the best wine stores too. Lauren is producing beautiful, well-made, fine wines from single varietals and single vineyards across South Australia and the quality and class of these wines is something everyone can enjoy.
Tasting Notes:
This Cabernet Franc reveals a delicate hue and a fragrant bouquet of ripe cherries, violets, and blackberries, with underlying notes of Black Doris plum. With soft tannins supporting a core of juicy red fruits— raspberry and cranberry—balanced by subtle herbal undertones and hints of graphite. A gentle floral lift persists through the finish, adding an air of refinement to this classic, nuanced wine.
The destemmed grapes were fermented in an open steel fermenter, and handled very gently using daily pump overs and plunging. Transferred to mature French oak barriques after pressing, the wine was allowed to rest and mature in oak for 8 months.

Tasting Note:
"Lean and tightly wound, this year's chardonnay shows very characteristic lemon pith, white peach and pear aromatics. Further into the glass you'll find greater generosity, with hints of brioche, hazelnuts, and a lovely lemon curd and cream finish. The small-bunched Mendoza clone had a long, slow ripening period, which sings out in the chalky minerality and fresh acidity. Supported by the lovely ripe stone fruit characters, this chardonnay will leave you salivating.
Handpicked fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast in French oak barriques for 9 months, with some batonnage during malolactic conversion."

Lauren Langfield Sauvignon Blanc
From South Australia. A richer, textural style of Sauvignon Blanc more akin to Sancerre or Loire Valley styles.
Le Glanon Jura Chardonnay
From Jura, France. Biscuity, toasty aromas on the nose. Initially you think you're in for a rich, buttery number, then one sip and you've got this incredibly concentrated lemon, lime, grapefruit flavour but beautifully balanced acidity too. Slightly creamy, slightly nutty, just delicious.
Les Bardets 'Blanc' Mauzac Blend
From Gaillac, France. It's a white wine variety with flavours of honeysuckle and citrus. Loin de l'œil is another native variety, but generally hails from the Loire, a little further north. Luscious, textural stonefruit.

Mélange 'Du Champ' Orange Viognier Pinot Gris
'Du Champ' is a skin-fermented field blend of 62% Viognier and 38% Pinot Gris, from Seresin Estate's famed organic 'Raupo' Vineyard in Marlborough. Vibrant and aromatic, this orange wine has fine, talcy tannins, ripe juicy stonefruit flavours and good acidity too.
Hand harvested, the organic fruit was destemmed into an open-top fermenter, where it underwent 28 days maceration on skins before being pressed into aged French oak barrels. 10 months in barrel, then settled for a few weeks before being bottled unfiltered, unfined, and without any additions of any sort.
Winemaker Harrison Eaton suggests decanting this wine to open it up as much as possible.
Muchada - Léclapart 'Lumiere' Palomino
From Jerez, Spain. Muchada-Léclapart Lumière comes from old vines of the native Palomino Fino variety with an average age of 60 years old. This fresh white wine is balanced and refined, with subtle aromas of green apple and citrus. It has a smooth, well-rounded taste, with a touch of salinity that adds a unique twist.

Park Wine Big Red
When a Pinot isn’t quite enough, Park Big Red steps in. It’s Merlot, mostly, but with a splash of Pinot Noir and Tempranillo to keep things interesting. It’s bold and mouth-filling while remaining exceptionally well-balanced with ripe red fruits, a touch of violet, bright acidity and smooth, fine tannins. A wine that’s full of flavour with tremendous carry. Effortless drinking.
Park Wine Chilled Red
Park Chilled Red is a blend of Nelson-grown Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewürztraminer and Marlborough-grown Pinot Gris. There’s some alchemy at play here, with the dominant morello cherry notes lifted effortlessly by the three white aromatic varieties. For grape nerds this is akin to a Loire Grolleau; light and fresh, fruit and spicy, thirst quenching and invigorating. Chill it down, sip it back, enjoy the ride..
Park Wine Fizz
From Marlborough, New Zealand. Park Fizz is a Pét Nat Sauvignon Blanc with a splash of Riesling. Bright, refreshing and seriously delicious. Think stonefruit, citrus and a hint of fresh herbs. Dry, zippy and perfect for sunny days.
Park Wine Orange
Park Orange (last year’s best-seller) returns as a skin-contact blend of Grüner Veltliner, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Six weeks on skins. Dry. Floral. A touch of tannin. There’s lychee, guava and a touch of marmalade. Texture. Acidity. Tick.
Park Wine Rosé
Park Rosé is field blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. This one is all from Jos’s vineyard in Nelson. Provence-pink but a lot more adventurous than your typical pale pink drop. Front-loaded with fresh raspberries, cherry soda, even a few hints of woody spice, musk and a good lick of acidity to boot. Endless options to pair this one with food.
Park Wine White
Park White is a modern, almost avant-garde approach to the classic white blends more commonly seen in the old world. Intended to be equal parts light, rich, refreshing and textural. It’s crisp, aromatic and a little wild. This is Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. Easy to drink, hard to put down.
Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Chardonnay
Pyramid Valley's 'North Canterbury' Chardonnay is from a number of organic vineyards across North Canterbury, rather than their single vineyard wines like 'Lion's Tooth' and 'Field of Fire' which are from their own estate.
Slightly hazy with a lemony-golden hue. Complex aromas of grilled nuts, citrus fruits, florals and a hint of lemon rind. Mouth-watering acidity drives the wine with laser focus, flavours of citrus fruits, toasted nuts and a creamy texture gives the wine body and weight. A classic North Canterbury Chardonnay that is ripe and juicy, and even a little saline.Season summary A cooler season, with higher than average rainfall over the growing period resulting in lush, healthy canopies. The weather became dry and stable in late March/April which allowed for picking of clean, ripe fruit.Viticulture Old vine Mendoza Chardonnay from Waipara Springs on Omihi clay soils, planted between 1982-1990. One barrel of first crop Chardonnay from our Central Otago farm in Lowburn. Harvested: 1 - 14 April 2022 Winemaking Hand-picked and fermented with natural vineyard yeasts and aged in 20% new French oak barrels and 38% in a concrete Tulipe for 12 months before settling in a concrete Tulipe on light lees for a further 5 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Terroir Project Orange
Terroir Project are back with one of their most popular wines yet! TP Orange! Rose-gold, coppery-hued orange wine, made from a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, this wine has all the tropical, stonefruit and citrusy notes you would expect, but with that intriguing, slightly chalky palate you get from skin-fermented orange wines. Super aromatic, full of white peach and florals. The tannins in this wine are nice and resolved. The palate is dry, but not drying, and overall texture and tension of the wine is nicely balanced too. All told this is one delicious, refreshing, easy drinking orange wine!
