Central and North Otago 2016 Ward Valley, Olivia, Pinot Noir Rosé, Awatere Valley, Marlborough A dry style rosé that boasts flavours of raspberry, strawberry and melon. Well balanced acidity and a crisp, clean finish. 24.00 bottle / £15.50 carafe / 6.00 glass T h e W a r d Valley Estate vineyard was planted in 2008 by Freddy D a v i s o n , a 4th generation South Islander , from bare pasture land . Freddy searched for the perfect vineyard site around his home in the lower Awatere Valley and found a unique terroir in Ward. T h e v i n e y ard site was chosen as the soil structure is mainly clay - based, with hard papa subsoil, gravels and clay loam. These denser, water retentive clay soils, combined with a cooler climate than the northern end of Marlborough , m a d e the site perfectly suited to growing Pinot Noir . The Estate has crafted a range of premium New Zealand wines truly express ing t h e unique terroir of southern Marlborough's Ward Valley. T h e i r young wine maker , D av i d C l o u s t o n , u t i l i s e s all his local knowledge to bring these exceptional wines to life. 1 New Zealand Wine Regions N o r t h l a n d ’s northern location and closeness to the sea (nowhere is f u r t h e r t h a n 5 0 kilometres away) give the region a sub - tropical climate – humid, sunny and warm. Northland h a s N Z ’ s highest average annual temperature and is mainly c o m p r i s e d of c l a y - rich loam soils o v e r a s u b - soil of com pact clay. Thanks to the warmth, tropical Chardonna ys flourish alongside fuller bodied reds including Syrah and Cabernet/Merlot blends. A u c k l a n d is New Zealand's largest city, with several w e l l - k n o w n s u b - regions including Matakana, Waiheke, Clevedon and Kumeu. Auckland has a maritime climate with warm , p r i m a r i l y f r o s t f r e e , conditions with reasonably high rainfall. Vineyards are established on clay soils of volcanic, greywacke or mixed alluvial origin. The Bay of Plenty and Waikato wine regions are fairly small in relation to the more renowned locations of Hawke's Bay and Marlborough. In the Bay of Plenty, grapes are not e ven the predominant vine fruit - w h i c h honour goes to the Kiwifruit. T h e typically small v i n e y a r d s f o c u s on Chardonnay and Cabernet blends. B o a s t i n g a moderately warm climate , t h e r e g i o n ’ s s o i l s a r e predominantly heavy loams over clay sub - s o i l s . G i s b o rn e is where Captain James Cook first stepped ashore in New Zealand on 8th October 1 7 6 9 . It wasn’t long after that the first European settlers arrived, and in 1871 identified the r e g io n ' s viticultural p o t e n t i a l . G i s b o r n e is NZ’s third largest wine region and the first place in the world to see the sun rise thanks to it s easterly location. Its soil is comprised predominantly of loam, silt and clay , which favour ar o m a t ic varietals such as Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay. H a w k e ’ s B a y is the largest p r e m i u m red wine producing ar e a in New Zealand. Being one of the hottest , d r i e s t and sunniest r e g i o n s , with a maritime climate , it has a huge r a n g e o f vineyard sites suitable for a diversity of styles. The Gimblett Gravels is Hawke ’ s Bay's most i m p o r t a n t and famous w i n e a r e a , but bizarrely it went unplanted until the earl y 1980's as it had been considered not suitable for high quality grapes. This area is a wonderful illustration of how the French concept of terroir can be applied even in the New World. In 2001 G i m b l e t t Gravels District was formalised - the New World's fir st classified sub - region based solely on s o i l . W a i ra r a p a i s located at the s o u t h e a s t e r n corner of the North I sland, and is divid e d i n to 3 m a i n s u b - r e g io n s ; Masterton, Gladstone and Martinborough. Pinot Noir is the region’s most planted variety and M artinborough has quickly earned a reputation f or producing some of the f i n e s t in the country . The twenty metre deep gravel soils have also allowed a second star to e m e r g e – rich, robust Chardonnay rivalling many of the vinific world's more historic sites. Climatically , Wairarapa is m o r e aligned to Marlborough than to any of its North I s la n d n e i g h b o u r s - contributing to the country’s h i g h - e n d quality winemaking reputation. N e l s o n l ies at the northern end of the South I sland. The r e g io n ’ s wineries are l o c a t e d o n t he plains, south - west of the town, h e ad i n g up i n t o the Upper Moutere hills. F a c i n g n o r t h t o w a r d s Tasman Bay, it gets significantly more rainfall than its neighbour - Marlborough. Despite the rain ho w e v e r , the northern exposure gives it long hou rs of daylight and the g r av e l - threaded clay soils are renowned for producing richness and texture. T h e v i n e y ar d s are mainly small and family - run, and the region is likely to remain small due to the lack of a v a i l a b l e growing areas. Marlborough is situated on the South Island's north - eastern tip, bordered by b o t h th e Pacific Ocean and the Marlborough Sounds, lending it a maritime climate. The region b o a s t s the picturesque plains of the Wairau Valley, sheltered by the Southern Alps to the south - west and the Kaikoura Ranges to the east. Marlborough is N Z ’ s largest wine region, responsible f or around 77 % of all its vines , a nd o v e r 7 5 % o f its Sauvignon Blanc. Canterbury and W a i p a r a are located in the m i d - e a s t e r n side of the South Island. Waipara translates from Maori literally as 'muddy water' , w h i c h i s a n interesting image for the r e g i o n that is deemed to look most like “ c l a s s i c E ur o p e a n wine country". Waipara owes much of its c l a s s i c w i ne- growing status to soil types which include gravely depos its on the flats and terraces and limestone clays on the hillsides. The long, hot autumn period helps to produce rich and spicy Riesling and Pinot Noir. Central and North Otago ar e located at latitude s between 44° and 4 5 ° S o u t h , positioning the region at the extreme southern limit of sustainable winemaking. The inland mountainous l o c a t i o n of ‘Central’ has a s e m i - continental climate , m a k i n g i t b o th the hottest , a n d t he c o l d e s t , w i n e g r o wing region in NZ.

  • Pegasus Bay Estate Riesling 2009 Aged Release
    Pegasus Bay Estate Riesling 2009 Aged Release AGED RELEASE PROGRAM Our aged release program started back in 2006 when we set aside a few cases of our key varieties, Riesling & Pinot Noir, with the intention of releasing them in 2016, 10 years later. Stock has been set aside every vintage since with a release date of around August each year. The inspiration for this came from the desire to offer our customers the opportunity to taste these wines in full maturity, something that is relatively rare these days. We consider this to be a particularly satisfying time to experience these wines with the added complexities of bottle age, while still offering years of good drinking ahead. THE FAMILY The Donaldson Family have been seriously involved in viticulture and winemaking for over 40 years. Founder Ivan Donaldson planted the first Canterbury vineyard in 1976 and went on to establish Pegasus Bay in 1986 with his wife Christine. It is a true family business, with all four of their sons and two spouses involved, managing various aspects. THE VINEYARD AND THE VINES The vineyard is located within the Waipara Valley of North Canterbury, on free draining, north facing terraces carved out of New Zealand’s Southern Alps by an ice-age glacier. It benefits from being in the lee of the Teviotdale Range, giving maximum protection from the Pacific’s easterly breezes and thus creating a unique mesoclimate. The vines are over 30 years old, with a large proportion planted on their own roots. The soil is free draining and of low fertility, resulting in naturally reduced vine vigour.

  • Wines & Drinks
    WILDERNESS LODGE LAKE MOERAKI Wines & Drinks The Lodge features a great range of wines to introduce you to the different wine regions of New Zealand and Australia. The closest wineries to us are in the valleys of Central Otago, only 120km (100 miles) south of us. Cool dry nights and hot days in the summer and cold winters make for intense flavoured pinot noir, the wine for which Central Otago is very famous. If you are starting out in your appreciation of New Zealand wines, we are happy to help you find the wine you most enjoy. Our wines are sourced from four famous Southern Hemisphere wine regions: Hawkes Bay (Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah) Marlborough & North Canterbury (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris) Central Otago (Pinot Noir, Riesling and Pinot Gris/Grigio) South Australian and Western Australia red wines. The hot summers here create world class full-bodied Shiraz and Cabernet wines that are richer than those from NZ’s cooler climate Two small breweries are our main beer suppliers. Emersons based from Dunedin produce wonderful boutique beers full of flavor with their famous Hoppy Pale Ale (1812), Pilsner and Bookbinder Ale the ones that we most enjoy. A small West Coast South Island brewery Monteiths is based in Greymouth. You can tour their new Brewery there and see how they make special beers. We also have a good range of spirits for cocktails to ease your aching muscles. We also have a selection of natural fruit and carbonated drinks. Benjer Juices of Central Otago are all produced without preservatives or additives and use local fruit (Nectarines, Apricots, Apples, Boysenberries and Raspberries).
