O:TU Limited Release Estate Grown Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Marlborough

Very attractive bouquet of Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of white flowers, citrus and white orchard fruits with a tropical fruits and fresh herb core. On the palate - a dry wine with delicious core of apple, citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Plenty of wet stone and floral notes accentuated by the acidity and overall structure. Balanced and well made with a lengthy finish. Drink now and through 2022+.

O:TU Limited Release Syrah 2018, Hawkes Bay

Lifted, fresh, fruity and varietal bouquet. Peppercorn and raspberry, fresh new oak and wood spices, cloves and vanilla, dark cherry, dried herb and gravels. On the palate - firm, youthful, dry, textured and engaging. Flavours of fruits and spices return then giveway to firm tannins and a back bone of acidity. Lengthy finish, well made and tense. Decant well ahead of time for service. Best drinking from late 2020 through 2023.
