New Zealand

Marlborough, New Zealand. Straw green. A bouquet of ripe citrus fruits with nuances of white blossom against concentrated yeast characters derived from extended contact with lees in old barrels. Complex full bodied wine with excellent balance enhanced by a degree of minerality and a chalky texture...

Central Otago, New Zealand. Domaine Thomson began in 2000 when David and PM Hall-Jones purchased their block in Central Otago, naming it after David’s great great grandfather "Surveyor Thomson” who explored and mapped Central Otago in the 1850’s...

Central Otago, New Zealand. Wonderfully ripe and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows freh dried herb, spicy black and redcurrant aromatics lead way to a focussed elegant driven palate.

Central Otago, New Zealand. Complex, savoury and distinctive with a bouquet filled with scents of Otago and variety, soil and ripe fruit. Cherry, raspberry and plum, dried herb, wild thyme and spices of oak. A core of fruit on the palate is accentuated with acidity, the barrel spices and Otago thyme flavours accentuated by tannins. Youthful, complex and lengthy on the palate with flavours that reflect a time and place, variety and excellent vintage..

Central Otago, New Zealand. The palate opens with an expansive softness that coats the mouth, then builds and tightens sufficiently through the finish to give the wine great persistence.

An uplifting wine of great harmony and poise...

Marlborough, New Zealand. A more old world style wine with more texture and complexity compared to the pure styles of Riesling we make for the Framingham bottling. A little bit of extra hang time on our oldest vines, hand harvested, bunch pressed with no juice clarification, fermented with uninoculated yeasts and left on lees for 11 months prior to bottling. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle...

Marlborough, New Zealand. A much more structured style of Pinot Noir when compared to the Framingham bottling. From a vineyard with more clay content than those we have been using for Framingham, left on skins for much longer at the end of ferment. 16 months in French Oak. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle...
