Tasting Note
This year with lower alcohol, but excellent concentration, this
lovely example of Nelson Sauvignon has aromas of capsicum,
red apple, fruit salad and citrus, and it is completed by a
distinctive mineral finish. It is balanced and full-bodied, with
a textured and elegant palate. The wine has real depth and
concentration, and is the perfect accompaniment to fine New
Zealand seafood.
Harvest Details
Our winemakers comment that the 2009 vintage was the best
they have experienced at WAIMEA Estates. Controlled
cropping, a warm summer but cooler introduction to autumn,
and a very settled harvest period, provided optimum
conditions to make concentrated, premium wines across the
winery’s varietal range. Truly, the vintage of the decade!
All the grapes for the WAIMEA 2009 Sauvignon Blanc were
estate-grown grown on the stony alluvial soils of the Waimea
Plains; they come from a range of our vineyards, including
from younger vines on two newer vineyards, the Wells and
Robertson blocks. The fruit was picked from late March
onwards.
Winemaking Notes
The grapes were machine harvested and de-stemmed without
any crushing, protecting the aromatic ‘freshness’ naturally
found in this variety. Some ‘skin contact’ was utilised pre-
pressing to add richness and weight to the components. After
pressing the juice was cold settled for 3 days to achieve low
solids prior to ferment. To obtain good aromatic definition,
Technical Details the fermentations were carried out in stainless steel; the musts
were inoculated with a range of aromatic yeasts and
fermentation temperatures were kept low.
Varietal: 100% Sauvignon
Blanc For a textural component, some ferments underwent frequent
lees-stirring, for two months after the completion of ferment:
Alcohol: 12.5 % the result is a multi-dimensional wine, with pure varietal
expression, but with an underpinning of subtle texture.
Acidity: 7.95 g/L
After blending, the wine was lightly fined then stabilised and
pH: 3.28 cross flow filtered before being bottled from August 2009
onwards.

Tasting Note
This lush 100% barrique fermented Sauvignon has enticing
aromas of yellow capsicum, pineapple and hints of sage,
while the palate has a rich, creamy mouth feel due to
extended lees stirring and concentrated fruit flavours. The
oak influence is subtle and contributes a delicious grippy
undercurrent and restrained toasty notes but is never
dominating, and the wine draws to a close with a cleansing
dry fruit finish. Drinking well now, this wine also has the
potential to cellar, due to its structural complexity. In
addition, the screw cap closure will ensure that the wine ages
gracefully, and retains its aromatic freshness. A lovely food
wine which will match well with fish dishes.
!
Harvest Details
The 2007/8 growing season was notable for its extremes.
Spring was warm but with a nip of frost in–most unusual for
the Plains. None of our vineyards were hit too seriously. The
weather around flowering time was excellent, ensuring good
fruit-set. Summer brought drought conditions, leading to our
second-earliest vintage start on March 17. The grapes for the
WAIMEA 2008 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc were
grown on the free draining alluvial soils of our Annabrook
(85%) and Hunter (15%) vineyards and were harvested in
early April with average sugar levels of 21°Brix.

Tasting Note
This lovely example of Nelson Pinot Gris has aromas of pear
drops, candied apple, fresh figs and Mirabelle plums. An off
dry entry leads into a textured mid palate, with nice acidity on
the sides, and the wine ends with a soft, non-bitter finish.
Good concentration of fruit weight gives the wine real
presence on the palate and with the balanced ‘palate
architecture’ creates an elegant wine that is a very versatile
food wine.

Tasting Note
This lively medium style Riesling has aromas of mandarin
and grapefruit, with hints of tropical fruit, wild honey and
flintiness. The inclusion of some botrytised grapes at harvest
gives the wine added spice and richness. The palate is both
refreshing and lengthy, with the residual sugar perfectly
balanced by the firm acidity. The ‘spritzig’ from the CO2
helps give the wine added zest and a clean finish. It’s a useful
‘luncheon’ wine, which also matches well to Chinese cuisine.

Tasting Note
This Nelson Riesling has a medley of aromas including
mandarin, citrus blossom, lime, hints of pink grapefruit and
wild honey, while the persistent palate has a subtle mineral
edge. Made in a dry style, this wine will age gracefully with
nutty/waxy and wild honey aromas coming to the fore. Enjoy
as a refreshing aperitif or as a perfect accompaniment to light
summer dishes or Asian cuisine.
Harvest Details

the Plains. None of our vineyards were hit too seriously. The

Tasting Note
This single vineyard, 100% barrel fermented wine has aromas
of white peach, honey suckle and ripe citrus on the nose, with
notes of spice and vanilla from the oak.
The wine is mouth filling, strongish ripe citrus characters
tempered by toasty oak tannins, a creamy lees influence and a

Tasting Note
This year’s Viognier is perhaps the most elegant Viognier we
have made. With subtle floral aromas combining with notes
of apricot, mandarin, spice and cream, it nicely finishes with a
mineral edge.
The barrel component compellingly contributes a subtle,
biscuity palate texture and ‘vinified’ weight; these nuances
combined with good acidity and a drier style, make this an
excellent food wine.

Tasting Note
This year’s Late Harvest Riesling is true to form with a
golden hue and showing clear Botrytis influence. It has
distinctive aromas of beeswax and honey, complemented by
citrus notes – mandarin or tangelo peels maybe. The high
residual sweetness is perfectly balanced by good acidity and
lower alcohol. It is the ideal accompaniment to blue cheeses
and sliced pear, or enjoy with baked apple pie and cream.
Harvest Details
The 2006 vintage was unusual in that the season was shorter
than expected due to a hot summer. Spring started off
normally– nothing too dramatic – and importantly it didn’t
!
rain much during flowering so fruit set was at normal levels.
The summer started early though, with some very hot days in
December. The rest of the summer continued in that vein
with very little rain leading to drought conditions here on the
Plains. Due to good crop levels and a warm season, this
year’s fruit has excellent concentration and flavours.
The grapes for this botrytised, late harvest Riesling were
allowed to hang out on the vines until early winter. This
extended hang time allowed the infected grapes to ‘raisin’
nicely concentrating the sugars and the flavours in the berries.
The fully botrytised fruit was hand harvested 26th May well
after all the leaves had dropped from the vines, with Brix
levels in the range 36-50°. The most raisined fruit was kept
separate for our Noble Riesling, while the balance went into
this Late Harvest Riesling blend.

Tasting Note
Often over looked, rosé wines whether dry or off dry, can be a
truly refreshing summer drink, while still bearing some
relation to red wine. Rosé makes a novel and stimulating
aperitif to a meal; its bright and delicate characters suited
particularly to lunchtime dining, and the juicy fruit characters
making it an excellent companion to pork dishes.
Our Pinot Rosé has fruit notes of watermelon, raspberry and
liquor cherries. It has fresh acidity, which combined with the
just off-dry style; make this a very palatable wine. Delicate
tannins are threaded through the palate. These contribute to
the long finish and give the wine structure and enough
pizzazz to use it, not only as an aperitif, but also as a very
versatile food wine. Cin cin!

Tasting Note
Dark berry fruit, plum, cherry, and spice aromas greet the
nose. On the palate the fruit characters combine with this
spice and some savouriness. Good acid levels combined with
subtle oak and fine fruit tannins give this wine an appealing
