Torlesse takes its name from an early Canterbury resident, surveyor and farmer, Englishman Charles Torlesse. He gave his name to the Torlesse mountain range, which partly circles the Canterbury Plains, and was at one time the largest land owner and farmer in North Canterbury and the founder of the nearby town of Rangiora. Interestingly, Torlesse is also the name given to the underlying bedrock from which most New Zealand soils are derived. The Torlesse winery was built and opened in March 2000, but Torlesse has produced wines from 1991 onwards, making it one of the older wineries in Waipara. Most grapes are hand harvested, and the winemaking team is led by owners Ben & Pete Rayner, while Maggie Rayner leads the cellar door team. They have been cultivating and producing excellent wine for over 30 years.
750ml mlOmihi Road runs through the heart of the Waipara Valley. The front label depicts the sunrise on the Three Deans, a distinctive cluster of hills within Waipara. This wine is made from the best grapes grown in Torlesse's 3 vineyards in Waipara. The vines are some of the oldest in the region, and the clay-heavy soils lead to wines of fuller body and flavour. This one expresses allspice, darker cherry fruit and a bit of classic, earthy pinot noir funk, all typical of pinot from Waipara.

Cono Sur has led the way in pushing the boundaries of viticulture and winemaking in Chile, with varieties formerly barely known in Chile. The first Chilean winery to use screwcaps on their entire range of white wines. The first to produce and export Chilean Viognier.The first to produce Riesling from the Bio Bio Valley. They are the biggest Pinot Noir Producer in South America, and top five in the world. As for this wonderful value-priced Pinot Noir, it has red fruit notes of raspberry, cherry and strawberry, as well as leather, cassis and a smoky note in the background. Voluptuous and youthful, it has a silky finish. One heck of a Pinot Noir!

Ben Stewart left a successful banking career in 1979 to become General Manager of both Quails' Gate and Mt. Boucherie Vineyards. In 1989, after many years searching for the ideal vineyard location, he founded Quails' Gate Estate Winery. This Pinot is made from grapes from select vineyards resulting in warm cherry and plum aromas, fine tannins, a silky mouthfeel and slightly spicy, smoky finish. A winner!

Roux is a respectable producer of good-value wines from Burgundy; this is easy, juicy Pinot Noir that can be chilled down on a summer's day.
