"Pale salmon pink. Compelling aromas of plums and oranges. Juicy and saline flavours of orange zest, plums, flowers and a hint of sour cherry are mouth-watering and bright. The fantastic acidity and salinity knit together the fruit and floral qualities into an extremely tantalising wine that proves extremely difficult to merely sip rather than gulp enthusiastically. Utterly delicious." - 18 PTS, Alder Yarrow, JANCISROBINSON.COM

A rare rose-hued delight from the 100-year-old Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard. Fresh notes of summer melon and stone fruit, with whispers of white tea and wet rock. A renaissance of a nearly forgotten grape, foot-crushed and naturally fermented to maintain its vibrant character. Perfectly paired with seafood, salads, or creamy goat cheese.

Not your typical Pinot Gris – it surprises with a delicate pink hue, a result of gentle foot-crushing and a cold soak. A wildly perfumed nose of fresh melon, stone fruit, bergamot and crisp cantaloupe. On the palate there is a gorgeous chalky texture and refreshing acidity.

A killer Rhone-style Syrah from California power couple Scott and Jenny Schultz. The perfect marriage of intensity and finesse, this wine is an unadulterated expression of the grape, showcasing its dark, savoury, and spicy side while maintaining smooth tannins and a lifted finish.
