Pinot Noir 2006

Deep garnet colour is matched by the wine's aromas - dark berry and cherry fruit with a whisper of toasty oak. In the mouth, rich dark plum and cherry underpinned by soft tannins linger into a well-balanced finish. The wine is showing the characteristic brightness of flavour of Stonecutter Pinot Noir and increasing complexity with bottle age.

Syren Pinot Noir 2009

For the second time in 2009 we produced a second tier Pinot Noir. Though supposedly second tier, the “Syren” label Pinot has developed fantastically and is a great value wine.
Bright garnet in colour, the wine's aromas are of red plum with overtones of tobacco and leather. Plum and cherry flavours carry over into the mouth with spiciness and a firm, but not overwhelming, tannic influence. Sweet fruit lingers with fresh acidity. This is a very good Pinot Noir and attractively priced.

Merlot 2008

A soft generous wine with rich sweet red plum flavours, lifted by subtle oak. Mouth filling with excellent structure and length.

Pinot Gris 2008

Golden straw colour. Apple and nashi pear with a mealiness from extended lees contact make this an attractive wine with good structure and length.

Pinot Gris 2010

A dry wine but with delicious sweet fruit flavours.

Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Pineapple and passionfruit over the standard Sauvignon blanc melon flavour.
