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. The Riesling delivers bright aromas of lemon and lime with hints of flower blossoms. More citrus mingles on the palate with a balanced sweetness.

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!

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.

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.

Pinot Noir is fickle but she is charming, she is temperamental but bewitching. She is the Fickle Mistress.

Light in colour, luscious pear with hints of honeysuckle. The vibrant palate is refreshing with a textured round finish.

Pale straw in colour, the wine has aromas of tropical fruit, pineapple and citrus with a yeast character. The palate shows ripe fruit sweetness helped by a creamy texture from malolactic fermentation and yeast lees contact, leading to fresh acidity and a long, lingering finish.
