2014 Artist Series Pinot Noir – 95 Points
A benchmark for age-worthy New Zealand Pinot Noir. The 2014 vintage offers aromas of fresh and mature cherry, preserved plum, rose petal, earth, and subtle barrel spice. The palate is taut and dry, with salivating tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavours of red berries, savoury herbs, and forest floor. Complex, harmonious, and beautifully weighted. Drink now or cellar through 2030+.
2014 Artist Series La Lapine – 95 Points
A sophisticated, foudre-fermented Sauvignon Blanc that redefines the variety. The wine opens with ripe citrus, stone fruit, tropical notes, and a mineral, lees-driven core. A satin-like texture leads into vibrant acidity and flavours of lemon peel, apple, pineapple, and alpine herbs. Elegant, textural, long, and deeply satisfying. Drink now or cellar through 2027.
From the Winemaker
“The 2014 vintage offered me the opportunity to create wines that reflect my love of architecture and design. A warm, even growing season delivered fruit with exceptional concentration and structure. Handled gently throughout the process and naturally settled, the wines are unfined and vegan friendly.” — John Belsham
A truly distinctive wine gift—artful, elegant, and unforgettable.
