Spade Oak Vineyard

Spade Oak Voysey Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Gisborne

No mistaking the power and impact of this wine - aromas of fresh herbs and sweet hay, apples, citrus fruits and tropical fruit cocktail, 100% Sauvignon Blanc. On the palate - just dry with flavours of fresh white fleshed fruits, sweet herbs and stony river soils. Gentle creamy texture, plenty of acidity and a core of fruit to match. Balanced and well made, ready to enjoy from today and through 2021.

Spade Oak Voysey Pinot Gris 2019, Gisborne

Ripe, fresh, fruity and varietal bouquet with aromas of green pear and apple, a whisper of white spice and layer of lees - showing a soft beer note. On the palate - fruity, refreshing with a soft creamy texture, flavours reflect the nose with white fleshed tree fruit then a leesy spicy moment or two. Balanced and well made, lovely drinking from today and through Summer 2021.

Spade Oak Voysey Rosé 2019, Gisborne

Made with Tempranillo fruit the bouquet shows aromas of ripe red fleshed fruits from tree-tomato (tamarillo) to cherry, strawberry to plum - all soft and quiet yet pure. On the palate - a silky textured wine with a whisper of fine fruit tannins, flavours of red fleshed fruits layer back in alongside crisp acidity. Balanced and well made, a lovely wine for Summer 2020 drinking and through to Summer 2021.
