2025 Polish Hill Riesling, Grosset, Clare Valley Dry | White | Still

Polish Hill is an eight-hectare vineyard planted in 1996 at 460m above sea level and one of the coolest spots in the Clare Valley. Here the grapes are tiny with thick skins, adding structure to the wine. Thanks to a warm and dry season, and biodynamic farming Jeffrey Grosset is extremely happy with the quality of the vintage despite volumes being notably reduced owing to the lack of water. Racy with electric acidity, it then broadens on the palate with complex and concentrated layers of saline minerality, spice, ripe green apple fruit and citrus flavours with a lovely texture. The finish is structured, linear and very, very long. A Grosset Riesling for the ages.

 
2022 Field of Fire Chardonnay, Pyramid Valley 'Botanical Collection', Canterbury Dry | White | Still

Flinty, almost lime blossom here. Lemongrass and lemon oil too. Super tension and intensity here while remaining so fresh. A wine of incredible purity, there is an explosion of limon, citrus and lemon oil on the finish, yet remaining perfectly balanced and focused. Subtle acacia and biscuit crumb notes on the finish. A serious Chardonnay.

Ready: 2025 - 2035
2022 Earth Smoke Pinot Noir, Pyramid Valley 'Botanical Collection', Canterbury Dry | Red | Still

This has a much more classic nose, red berries, wild cherry, five spice and rose petal. Blood orange, some almost ferrous note. A wine for burgundy lovers, there is plenty of intensity and a slightly savoury note of fresh earth through the finish.

Ready: 2025 - 2038
2022 Snake's Tongue Pinot Noir, Pyramid Valley 'Botanical Collection', Canterbury Dry | Red | Still

Peppery, spicy and delicious. This has notes of wild herbs, white pepper, and red cherry fruits. There is lovely tension and tender tannins that frame the wine. Very well managed.

Ready: 2025 - 2038
2022 Angel Flower Pinot Noir, Pyramid Valley 'Botanical Collection', Canterbury Dry | Red | Still

This is a wine that shows an immediate charm with ripe red berry fruited, a little pepper and dried herbs. Mid-weight and hints of some liquorice root this is a modern style that is so approachable and well defined yet with a real sense of substance on the palate.

Ready: 2025 - 2035
2022 Lion's Tooth Chardonnay, Pyramid Valley 'Botanical Collection', Canterbury Dry | White | Still

Opening with flinty notes and a touch of lemongrass this is very fine showing subtle flavours of sourdough and mandarin peel. This has a very focused, chiselled style, a Chardonnay that is beautifully saline and has a fine drive of freshness here. Excellent tension, and very well integrated oak through the finish.

Ready: 2025 - 2035
2022 Chardonnay, Pyramid Valley, Canterbury Dry | White | Still

A vibrant, fresh Chardonnay with notes of yellow flowers, acacia and butterscotch. A rounded and creamy feel on the palate there are intense flavours of peach and stone fruits. This is a fun, effortless Chardonnay with plenty of ripe stone fruit and accents of oak for complexity.

Ready: 2025 - 2028
2021 Pinot Noir, Pyramid Valley, Canterbury Dry | Red | Still

An enticing nose of dark cherry fruit, a hint of earthiness, violets and a little of festive spice lifts from the glass. There is great balance and energy here with a lovely ripe cherry fruit to balance. Showing so well now, this has found its peak.

Ready: 2025 - 2029
2017 Moulin de la Lagune, Haut-Médoc (2025 Ex-Château release) Dry | Red | Still | 13%

A deliciously approachable claret that opens with fleshy bramble and hedgerow fruit with a little savoury accent of tobacco and wild herbs. Mid-weight and bright, this is soft and supple on the palate with an easy charm. Excellent value.

Ready: 2020 - 2028
