5 Stars / 94 points - Te Kairanga John Martin Chardonnay 2015
Scored by Sam Kim
A beautifully composed chardonnay, the complex bouquet shows white stone fruit, rockmelon, nougat and brioche characters with a hint of vanilla. It is concentrated and beautifully weighted on the palate, and delivers lovely fruit richness and creamy texture, wonderfully framed by seamlessly integrated acidity. At its best: now to 2021.

Top NZ Pinot Noir
Martinborough Vineyard Home Block Pinot Noir 2013
TOP NZ PINOT NOIR
MARTINBOROUGH VINEYARD HOME BLOCK PINOT NOIR 2013
Vibrant in colour, with effusive floral aromatics, this wine's seductive fruit presence is matched to a fine, deftly managed structure. "The fruit develops through the palate," noted John Comerford. "It's beautifully balanced and persistent in flavour, texture and structure." For John Saker, the red and dark fruit, and tannin finesse, all spoke of place. "It had Martinborough written all over it."
5 Stars / 94 Points - Te Kairanga Pinot Gris 2016
Scored by Sam Kim
This is instantly appealing on the nose showing poached pear, green rockmelon, floral and fig characters. The palate delivers excellent fruit weight and intensity, while remaining elegant and pristine, wonderfully supported by silky texture and refreshing acidity. At its best: now to 2019.
