Has good colour, a ripe black cherry perfume on the nose and lively yet supple fruit on the palate that is supported by fine grainy tannins. (6 x 75 cl)
Lovely purity and liveliness of fruit. It shows typical black cherry perfume on the nose, with lively yet supple fruit on the palate supported by fine grained tannins. The 40-hectare Delta Vineyard site in Marlborough was bought in 2001 by four partners, amongst whom are winemaker Matt Thomson and UK based wine importer David Gleave MW. It was planted solely with Pinot Noir in 2002 and 2003 and produced its first vintage in 2004. The combination of low vigour clay soils and the best of the new Dijon clones gives us superb fruit, some of the best Pinot I've ever worked with in Marlborough, says Thomson. (6 x 75 cl)
This is an exceptional wine with outstanding depth and structure and a velvety rich dark cherry colour. The wine exhibits pretty layers of plum, and black cherry with subtle undertones of cedar and redcurrant. An elegant wine, with delicate fruit concentration held together with ripe tannins with an exceptionally long finish. (12 x 75 cl)
Vavasour Pinot Noir is a deep garnet colour and shows aromatic cherry and spice on the nose. The concentrated palate exhibits rich dark cherry flavours with a long, soft tannin finish. The fruit which produced Vavasour Pinot Noir was hand picked from (12 x 75 cl)
A Pinot Noir mutation, which produces soft, gently perfumed wines with more substance and colour than most whites. Rich and full-bodied yet still a dry wine with fine flavours of quince and William pears. (12 x 75 cl)
