Flaxmore Pinot Gris 2018, Moutere, Nelson

A distinctive and varietal bouquet of Pinot Gris with aromas of ripe pear and candied apple, some white spice suggesting pepper and a wet stone silty mineral core. A dry wine on the palate contrasted by a core of fruit, silky creamy texture and balanced even finish. Well made and drinking best from today and through Summer 2020. 89 Points

Flaxmore Rosé 2019, Moutere, Nelson

Lovely bouquet of rosé with aromas and flavours of red cherries and red apples, some strawberry and a touch of guava. Crisp, refreshing, fruity and balanced with plenty of engaging texture, acidity and flavour. Chill well for enjoyment over 2020 through Summer 2021. 90 Points

Flaxmore Pinot Noir 2018, Moutere, Nelson

Really nice bouquet of Pinot Noir with aromas of roses and cherries, red plum and cranberry. A light savoury, dried herb and stony mineral layer adds complexity and depth. Tense, youthful, savoury, fruity, light-weight and dry. I really like the texture and balance for this wine, it has just enough complexity with a core of pinosity, fine tannins and balanced use of oak. Drinking well from today and through 2022.
