Vinous (89)This is Sauvignon Blanc made in a host of ways, hence the name Raranga, which means “woven” in Māori. There were parcels fermented in tank and in barrels, while a small proportion was fermented on skins, and a splash was whole-bunch fermented. After a couple of years, this is starting to shed its primary fruit and taking on characters of lanolin and oatmeal alongside citrus, pear and lemon tart. It has good depth and concentration and offers some interest texturally. The finish is clean and zesty although a little brief. |

The Devotus Pinot Noir Reserve Single Vineyard 2018 hails from New Zealand's acclaimed Martinborough region. This opulent, distinguished wine is meticulously handcrafted, striving for richness and depth. The boutique vineyard composes merely 3 hectares, and is solely committed to the art of perfecting Pinot Noir. It safeguards though intersperses only three specific Dijon clones within its rich, free-draining soil property. Don McConachy and Valerie Worsdale, the passionate owners, take painstaking effort to hand-pick each specimen at the right time, creating an intimate blend of structure, concentration, and power. The Devotus Pinot Noir Reserve Single Vineyard 2018 undergoes fermentation with native yeasts alongside gentle hand plunging. Traditional Burgundy methods are blended seamlessly with modern techniques to structure its sumptuous palate. This full-bodied, complex pinot noir displays notes of deep red fruits, smoked meat, and luscious earthy tones, culminating in a lasting, silky finish. |

The Real Review (96)Deepish, bright, youthful red/purple colour, with a lovely fragrant bouquet of red and dark cherries, strawberry and rose petals. It's complex and foresty too, but shows more primary fruit and perfume than usual for a young Escarpment pinot. Dried flowers, dried herb, savoury underbrush aromas. Very complex and profound in the mouth, with a very long carry. The tannins are in excellent harmony. An outstanding vintage for this vineyard. (70% whole-bunches) |
