3 x Sideways Central Otago Rosé 2021
AWARDED 93/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
"Charming and fabulously elegant, the wine shows watermelon, apricot, Gala apple and floral aromas on the nose, leading to a delectably appealing palate that's juicy and refreshing. Gorgeously light and delicious. At its best: now to 2023." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
"Made with Pinot Noir presenting aromas and flavours of fresh red apple skin, red cherry flesh and roses. Just dry on the palate with a tickle of sweetness and flavours that mirror the bouquet. Acidity and fine powdery fruit tannins layer in texture and length. A balanced and well made wine with best drinking from day of purchase through end of summer 2024" Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier, Feb 2023
Light salmon in colour. Aromas of wild strawberries and ripe raspberries. This dry, structured style features flavours reminiscent of juicy watermelon, strawberries and raspberries with a long creamy finish. Pairs beautifully with seafood, light salads, light pasta dishes.
Pinot Noir grapes were hand harvested on the 17th of April 2021 at 22.5 Brix from Three Miners Vineyard, near Alexandra. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and then allowed to settle overnight. The juice was settled for 24 hours and then racked to two tanks and fermentation begun using various inoculated yeasts. The juice was fermented cool to retain flavour and the fermentation stopped once flavour, sugar and acid balance was reached.

3 x Sideways Central Otago Pinot Gris 2019
AWARDED 94/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
"Splendidly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows golden peach, Nashi pear, orange peel and subtle spice notes, leading to a succulent palate offering excellent weight and plump mouthfeel. Generously textured and lingering with delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2025." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
Pale straw with lemon hues. Fragrant with fresh apple and pear, nectarine, melon, marzipan, orange blossom, orange zest and a hint of bran. A creamy entry with peach, melon, nectarine, cooked pear, biscotti, spice and citrus zest. A mouth filling mid-palate with lovely fruit sweetness, a refreshing minerality and a pleasing stone fruit finish. Pairs beautifully with antipasto, roast chicken and seafood.
The fruit was hand harvested on 13th April 2019 (21.3 brix) from Three Miners Vineyard near Alexandra and whole bunch pressed to tank. The juice was inoculated with selected wine yeasts. 9.5% of the juice was barrel fermented in older French oak barrels with the balance fermented in a stainless steel tank. The fermentation was stopped retaining around 9g/L of residual sugar.
