Matua’s Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir

A number of fine Kiwi producers have visited recently, including the towering figure of Steve Smith MW of Craggy Range whose single vineyard wines are quite legendary and whose entry level wines are pretty good too.
Also visiting was Nikolai St. George, the chief winemaker of Matua, to present his new bottle designs and to introduce the more premium Lands and Legends range. These are not available until next year but offer lots more depth and richness albeit for a 50% extra spend.
