Framingham Pinot Noir tends to a more "feminine" style displaying grace and charm with vibrant fruit flavours and a delicate tannin structure.

Lovely Pinot, bright and vibrant with spicy complexity from well-integrated French oak and the pure fruit aromas, that New Zealand is famous for. A great single site expression from Pinot hotspot Central Otago. Created by Master of Wine, Liam Steevenson together with experienced winemaker and wine judge Ben Glover.

A rich, ripe wine with blackberry and cassis framed by graphite and spice. This wine is drinking beautifully now and will be ideal with a summer barbeque.

New design, same great quality. "One of the great-value pinot noirs of the world." declares Nick Stock, one of Australia's best known wine critics. 20 years ago Ata Rangi named this special Pinot Noir "Crimson" in support of Project Crimson, a charitable trust working to replant and preserve native red-flowering pohutukawa and rata trees throughout New Zealand.

A great value Pinot Noir from top producer Neudorf. "Tom's Block Pinot Noir, is really hitting the spot in terms of quality, drinkability, and affordability." - Jamie Goode.

A total passion for Mahi. The aim is to make wines of the earth, showing complex savouriness characters aligned with both red and black fruit notes.

From a stellar vintage in Marlborough for Pinot Noir. What an effort! All fruit for this wine was hand-picked, hand-sorted then destemmed and grape (!!!) sorted as to ensure that only pristine, perfect Pinot grapes make it into the fermenters. A silky, suptle, earthy Pinot Noir, that is simply delicious.

Escaroth is a unique north-facing, sloped, dry-farmed site in the middle of Taylor Pass. Vines were planted in 2001 and a dragon meets you at the entrance. It has the biggest diural range in all of Marlborough and is frequently drier than other sub-regions. 400 cases produced.

A symphony of flavours awaits you from "The House of Pinot Noir" - Quartz Reef. Winemaker Rudi Bauer is part of the reason Central Otago has gained international acclaim. Rudi Bauer has combined traditional practices of the Old World, and his own personal understanding, to create this wine.

From Waiheke's breathtakingly appointed Man O' War. Their flagship blend is mainly Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Complex with subtle power, harmony and aromatic notes of red berries, cassis and cedar.

One of New Zealand's best Syrah: a supremely classy Syrah, rich and full bodied but with the elegance we love in cool-climate Syrah. From one of Waiheke Island's top producers. Clearly the only thing you should dread here is missing out on this world class Waiheke Island Syrah.

Burn Cottage has become a flagbearer for Central Otago Pinot Noir with a reputation for supreme quality. Their wines are scarce. Their excellent 94 points Moonlight Race Pinot Noir offers a great value. Savoury and spicy with a hint of red fruit. 

The flagship Bordeaux Blend made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker and owner Hans Herzog just loves this wine: "One of my favourites, really suits my old world taste! The ripe elderberry reminds me of my childhood - elderberry compote for dinner."

Falstaff's Top 100 Red Wine Icon. This Pinot Noir has quite a cult following from New Zealand Pinot fans. Enjoy this New Zealand highlight.
