Rich, mouth filling with balanced tannins - authentically Heathcote.

The Devil's Staircase takes the willing down into the realm of decadence and bacchanalian delights. Here everything is pleasure, spiced up with a dash of naughtiness. The unrelenting environment tortures the vines whose twisted limbs produce wine worthy of absolution. These wines are sinfully succulent and devilishly good.

A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes. The palate is succulent with alluring red cherry, brown spices and silky fine boned tannins.

Dusky Sounds is building a reputation for producing fresh, fruit-driven quality wines. Their Chief Winemaker, Simon McGeorge, is enthusiastically continuing their focus and passion to make easy drinking styles of wines that are suitable for everyday occasions and cuisine.

This is a smooth and fruit orientated Gimblett Gravels blend. Deep purple in colour, it has a bouquet of dried herbs, red berries and subtle hints of cedar from a period of barrel maturation.

Pinot Noir; notoriously difficult to cultivate, but with luck, love & perfect conditions, she will reward you with the performance of a life time - a minx & a devil in disguise, a Fickle Mistress. Central Otago's cool climate consistently produces exceptional red fruit flavours of cherry, raspberry and redcurrant, but with concentration and length to match. This wine is layered with black and red berry fruits, complemented by blossoming aromas of dark plum.

Pinot Noir is fickle but she is charming, she is temperamental but bewitching. She is the Fickle Mistress.

Delicious aromas of raspberry, strawberry and black Dawson cherry with hints of violets. The taste is all dark fruit cake and plum, with hints of spice and savoury, 'forest floor' aromas. It's full, complex and delicious on the palate!

Open and expressive on the nose, with notes attractive of dusky hedgerow fruits, florals, subtle spice and a touch of sous bois. The palate definitely leans into the sous bois character; there are notes of wild strawberry and rosehip and savoury characters reminiscent of porcini mushroom. Overall, this gives the impression of a walk in the forest to forage for mushrooms and autumnal berries. The tannins are tightly wound, providing a firm framework, and a soft acidity gives a rain-water-like freshness. Food match: This wine will pair well with flavoursome dishes that have a bit of weight and richness to them. Think about trying risotto with roast pumpkin and sage, osso bucco with creamy polenta or even chicken and leek pot pie.

Pretty and lifted on the nose, with notes of rain-washed crushed petals and dusky hedgerow fruit, and the merest hint of spice-cupboard intrigue. The impression on the palate is rounded, with fine and well-integrated tannins and a fresh acidity reminiscent of a fridge-cold blueberry. There are notes of summer fruits here, alongside a darker damson character, and a touch of subtle vanilla. While this will hold up well against the traditional more red-meat based dishes one might associate with Pinot Noir, Fromm also recommend serving it lightly chilled alongside summer salads, chargrilled vegetables, line-caught tuna, salmon or chicken. Their favourite, za'atar spiced salmon with tahini and chargrilled vegetables.

Fragrant and appealing on the nose, with notes of dark berry fruit, cacao, and black pepper. The palate has a delicious, mouthwatering vibrancy, with a juicy summer berry character, framed by ripe, finely-realised tannins. This wine is light on its feet, walking a very fine line between ripeness and acidity, and showing incredible poise and balance. Long on the finish, with lingering notes of boysenberry and store cupboard spice. This Syrah will work well with a surprising range of cuisines due to the combination of fruit, spice, and structure. Fromm recommend trying it with slow cooked lamb shoulder, glazed with pomegranate molasses, or with char siu pork.

A blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes, this wine is elegant and round with a spicy finish.
