Wine List

Below are descriptions of all the wines that we have made since 2006. Some of them are no longer available. Please see the relevant Order page to see what is available in each country.

We only make around 36 000 bottles a year and some wines are made in tiny quantities so therefore sell out very quickly. We will store wines for you at the winery if you place your order in advance.

To order wines for delivery, please go to the relevant page. I know the French prices are cheaper but that is becuase they don't have the extra duty and transport, so please don't try to use that page to order for delivery to the UK or Ireland. It will only delay your order.

White Wines

Muscat of Alexandria: Crisp dry white wine made from Muscat d'Alexandrie with aromas of wild herbs (mint) and elderflower and a refreshing palate of grapefruit. Great with Thai and Malasian dishes. Only made in 2006.
2006
One Block Muscat: One Block is so named because living one block from the World Trade Center on 9/11/01 was the catalyst that caused us to change our lives and follow our dream. A dry, aromatic white wine made from 100% Muscat a Petits Grains. It has aromas of white blossom and lime and a long silky palate with citrus flavours and a mineral edge.
2010 2009 2008 2007
La Terre Promise: Named after the Bruce Springteen song "Promised Land". A natural wine made from Macabeu (Viura), Grenache gris and Carignan blanc. Nothing is added during its conversion from juice to wine. It has a complex nose of quince, buttered toast and banana. The palate combines flavours of pears and citrus with a mineral finish. Only 900 bottles are made each year.
2010 2009 2008
Muscat de Rivesaltes: A late-harvested, fortified sweet aperitif and/or dessert wine. It has a beautiful floral aroma and a rich honeyed palate with dried fruits and nuts.
2009

Rosé Wines

The Rose of Treloar: Made from 100% Syrah, this off-dry, fruity wine is made for easy-drinking with friends in the sun. It is very fruity - think cherries and strawberries.

You may find a crystaline sediment in our rosé. These are tartrate crystals and completely harmless. They form naturally in wine, even after filtration, when it is chilled. Most commercial wines have them removed prior to bottling by refrigerating the wine to -4°C for 3 days but we feel that this is an unnecessary waste of electricity.
So think of the wine as being more natural and avoid the last few drops!
2009

Red Wines

Le Ciel Vide: Named after a Bruce Springsteen song "Empty Sky" which, for us expressed most clearly the memories of September 11th, this unoaked red is made from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Carignan. It is the most approachable of all our red wines with crunchy forest fruits and an earthy, smoky character from the Aspres terroir. Drinkable upon release for up to 3 years.
2009 2008
One Block (Grenache): A Grenache-based Cotes du Roussillon aged in used French barriques for 12 months. A deep and complex wine, with flavours of ripe berry fruits, liquorice, fennel and dark chocolate cake. Drink between 1 and 5 years after vintage.
2009 2008 2007

Three Peaks: A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre with a light touch of oak from ageing in older barriques. The Mourvedre is noticeable in the aroma of leather. It clearly shows the terroir of the Aspres in it's refreshing fruit character and medium body. It is ready for drinking 2 years after vintage, but will reward you more if kept for up to six years.
2008 2007
Le Secret: A Syrah-based wine with more oak influence than the Three Peaks, leading to a more intense blackberry fruit aroma and a hint of camp-fire. On the palate it is very well balanced but benefits from decanting for a couple of hours. The flavour is then a complex combination of dark berry fruit, grilled steak and charred wood. I advise storing it for up to 8 years to get the most out of the wine.
2008 2007 2006
Motus: A Mourvedre-dominated red wine aged in new and used oak barrels for 2 years. It has a distinctive leathery, almost animal, aroma, great fruit concentration, structure and aging potential for a further 10 years. Probably our most popular wine among wine-afficianados.
2009 2008 2007 2006
Tahi: Our icon wine. Tahi is the Maori word for "1". It is made from the best parcels of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre grapes and aged for 12 months in French oak barriques. I then select only the barrels which make the most harmonious combination. There is toasty oak and roast coffee on the nose, perfectly balaced by the spicy fruit aromas. It is a very well balanced yet complex wine, which will benefit from cellaring for up to 10 years.
