4 Stars - Cuisine Magazine
Produced from our own Waihopai Valley vineyard and the adjacent Barnsley vineyard, these two sites grow beautiful parcels of fruit that produce expressive wines with depth and finesse.

Le Petit Chat Malin (France) 2023 Rouge

Super popular last vintage. Back by popular demand.

Made from parcels of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan grown in Costières de Nîmes on red pebble and limestone terroir. Fermentation is kept short to preserve the generous fruit flavours. All the varieties are vinified separately to give Guillaume full flexibility when it comes to blending. The tannins from these sun-ripened grapes soften quickly, so very little ageing is required to keep it supple and more-ish.

Aromas of red berries leads to a juicy palate with savoury notes. The soft tannins give the wine a round, velvety mouthfeel making it very easy-drinking.

Try with a slightly spicy beef cassoulet, some mature hard cheeses, or a mushroom risotto.

Les Volets IGP (Cotes de Thau) 2021 Cabernet

Refreshing and fragrant with dark berry fruit on the nose. The palate offers a juicy blackcurrant crunch.

Match with roast beef, leg of lamb or mimolette cheese are perfect matches for this young and delicious Cabernet. For vegetarian option, Portobello Mushroom will pair very well.

94 Points - James Suckling jamessuckling.com
"Very fresh with sliced strawberries, hazelnut, cappuccino, and biscuit character yet always subtle. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a nice acid background running through the wine."

Winery note
"Upon release it has a bright ruby hue. The nose is soft and inviting, slowly unfurling with nuances of tamarillo, pomegranate and gogi berry, interlaced with touches of vanilla, woodsmoke, lavender and an earthy, savoury underlay. The palate is sweetly fruited and supple, with plush polished tannins and a ripe, spice driven mouthfeel. An ethereal and elegant wine, coupled with a rounded body and splash of refreshing acidity that provides harmony and length, flowing perfectly through to its long, rewarding finish."
