I've grabbed their last few dozen which has been cellared to perfection and is drinking well right now. I'm amazed a wine of this age and quality is still available. A big, rich and ripe wine with complex black olive flavours that linger on the palate. You could easily pay twice as much or more from one of the more well know brands for a wine of this quality.

Fattoria Mancini Impero Blanc de Pinot Noir 2005 NZD $59.95
Pinot Noir was introduced to the coast of Pesaro by the French administration during the Napoleonic Empire. The soil of calcareous sandstone and the cool microclimate along this elevated section of Italy’s Adriatic coast, were considered to be ideal for the cultivation of this variety. From 1861, for five generations of winegrowers, the Mancini family have preserved and reproduced the original clones, on the best terrains of Natural Park of Monte San Bartolo. Among these hills, the area of Focara in particular has distinguished itself over the years for the production of Pinot Noir with a strong personality and with the typical character of this grape variety. The Impero wine, ‘Empire’ in Italian, is the culmination of a long history of the white vinification of Pinot Noir. This wine is produced by softly pressing whole bunches with the utmost care and attention to minimise skin contact and colour extraction. It is then barrel fermented and aged in barrel for 12 months. This is an impressive and distinctive wine, showing spice from the wood and bright red apple/peach aromas. It has a broad structure in the mouth, not unlike a Côte de Nuits white – balanced and positive, with a herbal freshness. Worth every cent and more. -

Temperatures reached 32ºC with a 4 hourly hand plunging and daily rack and returns. The wine then spent 28 days undergoing extended maceration. The individual components were fermented separately and then blended at 12 months, undergoing 6 months ageing as a single parcel.

Clearview Reserve Chardonnay 2009 NZD $37.95
Picked from 20 year old vines and some of the newer plantings from Clearview's Te Awanga vineyards. 10 different soil types in the vineyard, 6 different picking times, 5 different barrel makers all contribute to the complexity of this iconic wine. The balance of fruit, acid oak and flavours is impeccable, whilst maintaining the trademark power. The result is a rounded and integrated wine with a luscious creamy texture. Beautifully ripe tropical and stone-fruit characters and a back bone of toasty oak integrated with acid means that this wine will cellar well for many years. Hand harvested at 24-25 Brix, 40% of the grapes were given 6-10 hours skin contact, the rest were whole bunch pressed before the free run juice was fermented in 50% new oak of which 95% was French and 5% American. 4 different types of yeast were used including some wild ferments. The wine was aged for 11 months with weekly stirring of the lees using 5 different barrel makers. Bottled in February 2008.

Clearview Basket Press Cabernet Merlot 2007 NZD $149.00
Basket Press is made only in exceptional vintages and only from the best parcel of grapes from Clearview's Coastal Hawkes Bay Vineyards. Grapes are hand picked, basket pressed* and aged in the finest new french oak for 12 months. The results, as you would expect are stunning. The wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. All fruit was hand picked and fermented individually with 3 hourly hand plunging. The individual parcels were blended after 18 months in oak barrel. The wine was subsequently aged a further 12 months in new French Oak barriques. Due to the limited volume of quality fruit needed for this wine, less than 50 dozen bottles were produced.The nose is extremely powerful and concentrated, with intense dark berry, cassis and plum at the core, with nuances of mint, earth and game supporting. On palate, the richness and ripeness of the fruit is manifest in sweetness, but kept in check by layers of leather and tar complexities and a mass of spicy oak. The tannins are very fine-grained, somewhat overwhelmed by the opulence. Yet this has the structure and density to age 15-20 years without hesitation. Less than 50 dozen were made. *NOTE: A basket press consists of a large basket that is filled with the crushed grapes. Pressure is applied through a plate that is forced down onto the fruit. The mechanism to lower the plate is often either a screw or a hydraulic device. The juice flows through openings in the basket. The basket style press was the first type of mechanized press to be developed, and its basic design has not changed in nearly 1000 years.Buy 'Passion and Patience - A Wine Story' on DVD to see how a hand-crafted wine like this is is made. -
Clearview Endeavour Chardonnay 2007 1.5ltr NZD $249.00
Just the third release of Clearview's ultra premium, limited edition Chardonnay. With quality rather than demand determining when The Endeavour will be made, winemaker Tim Turvey said a release could be a one in 15yr event. Endeavour was made using exceptional hand-picked fruit, from their oldest Mendoza vines. The free-run juice was run directly to barrel without clarification. The juice underwent fermentation with it’s own naturally occurring wild yeasts. Regular lees stirring protected the wine through its first winter then natural malo-lactic fermentation took place in the spring as temperatures warmed up. The wine spent in total 2½ years in New Grand Cru French oak. Endeavour was made with minimal intervention and natural deposits may form. It is a pure expression of the Te Awanga terroir, made from vines grafted, planted and tended for 24 years. It is absolutely unique! The wine is boxed and presented in a red cloth bag which honours the first item traded by Captain James Cook at Cape Kidnappers, Te Awanga with local Maori on his discovery visit in 1769. This will drink well in 2012 but it has the pedigree to last to 2015 and beyond. Enjoy with crayfish or a rich seafood dish and sauce. Extremely limited. -
Kairos 'Fait Main' (By Hand) Martinborough Pinot Noir 2009 NZD $49.99
From Master of Wine, Steve Bennett MW, this new release is one of the finest, most Burgundian Pinots ever made in New Zealand. Low yielding fruit from a single vineyard in Martinborough was hand harvested, then hand-plunged in open concrete fermenters. Total skin contact was a full month, typical in making the great wines of Burgundy but unusual in New Zealand. This practice sacrifices colour and primary fruit in favour of complexity, savouriness, finer tannins and more longevity. Hand basked-pressed, then matured for 18 months in older French oak barriques, this is a Pinot to meditate over, delivering new layers of complex flavour with every sniff, including dried cherry, raspberry, truffle, dark chocolate and wild roses. The dense mid-palate is balanced by fine acidity and rich tannins. Outstanding.Buy 'Passion and Patience - A Wine Story' on DVD to see how a hand-crafted wine like this is is made. -
Kairos Wild Ferment Waipara Dry Riesling 2010 NZD $24.95

From low yielding fruit grown on an exceptional gravelly single vineyard in Waipara, hand harvested then very gently pressed, resulting in impressive delicacy and finesse. Long, slow fermention with natural indigenous yeasts, followed by lees ageing adds to the complexity, richness and depth of this wine, almost unparalleled in the world of kiwi Riesling. Big, bold characterful wine, this concentrated and complex dry Riesling is extremely seductive. Very classy with layers of ripe citrus, honey and spice.
