Johner (Wairarapa) 2023 Noble Sauvignon 375ml

This Johner Estate dessert wine is a delicious steal!

The grapes are ripened on the vine a little longer, getting a touch of "noble rot" that concentrates their sweetness. 

The result? A beautiful straw-colored wine with a tropical twist, bursting with aromas of ripe apricot, pineapple, and nectarine. Take a sip, and you'll be greeted by lush, rounded flavors of apricot nectar, marmalade, and even a hint of plum. It's smooth, balanced, and leaves you wanting more!
 

Johner Estate (Wairarapa) 2021 Chardonnay

Aromas of dried apricot with toasty butterscotch showcase the use of barrel fermentation, along with a creamy, mealy character on the nose. A rich and full palate ensues, with fresh pineapple, biscuity, vanillin and nutty notes. Mouth-filling and savoury in character, yet with a minerality and complexity that compliment an elegant and long finish.

Johner Estate (Wairarapa) 2021 Syrah

These syrah grapes were hand-picked from the Johner Gladstone block in the hot and sunny 2021 vintage. They have  produced this easy-to-drink, sun ripened Syrah.  Black-berry fruit aromas and a palate of black pepper, savoury spices and with a hint of violets. This will match well with spicy dishes of vegetables, lentils  and game meat in particular.

Johner Estate (Wairarapa) 2022 Pinot Gris

Hand picked grapes producing Pinot Gris with a bouquet of pear and spice and on the palate juicy preserved pear, spice and floral characters. Balanced acidity and subtle oak to finish. 

Karl Johner with son Patrick, has dedicated his whole life to high quality wine making. After building up a prestigious and world acclaimed Estate in his homeland of Germany, Karl’s passion for great Pinot Noir brought him to New Zealand, where he fell in love with the Wairarapa region and its wines.

Beautifully balanced and juicy.
