Argentina’s wines are distinctly dark and brooding, with much intrigue to them. The rich soils give birth to a ripe, textural burst of dark berries and cassis, mint and chocolate, bound with smooth tannins.
A 100% Merlot that's new to the Wither Hills range. For the fruit, the winemaking team headed north to Hawkes Bay. Generous dark plum characters, a hint of tabasco spice and a round, luscious finish.
While known for her top-selling Sauvignon Blanc, Jules Taylor has also been something of a rosé trailblazer since 2009. For her 2020 vintage, Jules crafted a beautiful expression from Merlot grapes grown in Gisborne and sourced from a long-time family friend. In selecting Merlot and Gisborne, Jules found the vibrant strawberry notes that she sought for her rosé. It comes in a beautifully illustrated bottle that speaks to the hands-on approach to grape selection and flavours. Thankfully, these grapes were picked and safely back in the winery well ahead of New Zealand’s first lockdown. 2020 is a miracle vintage, in terms of the conditions that the wine was produced under, as well as the quality. A beautiful rosé bursting with summer fruits - dry, delicate, delicious.

This a complex wine. One on hand it’s like Joseph Parker—it just loves pies and juicy burgers. But, on the other, it’s not that well padded or heavy, so is more like Dan Carter—well defined, suave, appealing to both men and women, and very accurate.
A complex bouquet of spice balanced by dried rose petals and pink grapefruit with underlying aromas of fresh-cut strawberries with lashings of cream.

New instore, this is a tiny production that, due to its small run, does not come in magnums. Using the very best fruit and aged on lees in 500 litre barrels, the result is sensational. Another step up for New Zealand rosé.

The palate carries onto more savoury and complex flavours and finishes with great line and length of finely grained supple tannin and well integrated oak. Bottled un-fined.
87-89/100 | Burghound: "There is a really lovely freshness to the slightly more complex aromas that reflect an array of red berry fruit elements where additional breadth is present in the form of earth and spiced herbal tea. Like several wines in the range there is a lovely texture to the middle weight flavors that possess both vibrancy and detail, all wrapped in a mildly austere but well-balanced finale the delivers good if not special depth and persistence." - Allen Meadows

An expression of refined, elegant Pinot fruitiness quickly deepens and firms to reveal the classic manifestation of the iron heart beneath the velvet exterior. This field blend synergistically created a deliciously pure expression of terroir with a depth and complexity far beyond the mere sum of its parts.
"Seductive and inviting, pungent aromas of dried rose petals, blueberries, prunes, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and dried leaves spill from the glass. The palate presents a beautiful medley of complex flavours and has an earthy undertone joined by notes of mushroom, violets and integrated caramel-edged oak. Deliciously drinkable now but with potential." Decanter
With its dark berry flavours, it is savoury, spicy and elegantly vibrant. Essence of Coonawarra in a bottle.
91+/100 | Vinous - Ian D'Agata "Dark bright red-ruby. Deep, complex aromas of red cherry, licorice, graphite and fresh herbs, lifted by a note of white pepper with riper hints coffee and blackberry jam. The flavors are similar to the aromas and have a strong mineral tang that dissipates with aeration. Offers excellent energy and verve and youthfully chewy tannins that will require patience. This is a rare Tenuta Nuova that actually reminds me of Cerretalto, with its darker than usual frut aromas and flavors and hints of graphite. Be aware, that like Casanova di neri’s 2012 classico Brunello, this also benefits greatly from four to five hours in the glass."
93/100 | Vinous - Antonio Galloni "2011-2021.The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova reveals layers of dark perfumed fruit intermingled with French oak, spices, minerals, violets and licorice. The Tenuta Nuova is impressive mostly for its textural richness and sheer depth, both qualities it has in spades. The finish is long, sweet and pure. Here, too, the wine will need at least a few years in bottle before its full range of aromas and flavors emerges. Neri gave the Tenuta Nuova 30 months in medium-sized French oak tonneaux."
