Saturday 7th of April 2012 saw pickers coming from far and wide to harvest the first grapes at Odyssey  Marlborough. Pinot Noir grapes were harvested to make the Rose wine. Marlborough is experiencing ideal conditions in the lead up to harvest and whilst being several weeks behind the norm we can let the grapes hang and develope lots of flavours!… a very promising vintage.

  Clearly the wine of choice for Odysseus and the love of his life Penelope, you too can enjoy the

Homer Sparking Rose!

Nosh have a Special deal on  the Homer Sparkling Rose this week …  Happy Valentining!

Thanks for all the nice comments re the Viva comment in todays Herald about The Reserve Iliad Gisborne Chardonnay 2010 , great to appreciate individual wines for what they are…expressions of their own terroir. The Iliad is available in lots of good Auckland stores try Liquorland Newmarket, La Barrique, Bacchus Upland, Point Wines, Artisan Wines, A to Z, Kohi Corner , Caros, Wine Vault, Fine Wine Delivery Company, Glengarry Ellerslie, Ponsonby and Westmere., or contact us if you having problems locating. Cheers and enjoy those wild yeasts!

One of the best jobs back from the holidays is check  the vineyards to see how everything is developing. This week in Gisborne the sun was shining and it  looks like a great year for Hen and Chickens in our Chardonnay grapes. The flavour comes from the skin so with all the little chickens we will get more intensely flavoured berries. Fingers crossed the good summer in Gisborne continues!!
