on ¡®approach from the vine to the wine to ensure
only the highest quality wines are produced.
This philosophy has certainly been a successful
one for him, his wine having received a swag
of awards and a widespread following both at
home and internationally.
THE Wines:
Terrace Height Estate Sauvignon Blanc
This classic Marlborough Sauvignon
Blanc has a pale straw color with a green hue.
Plentiful aromas of tropical fruit and freshly
chopped capsicum with zesty flavors, just-picked
herbs and mineral and floral overtones. On the
palate, it shows a seamless texture and classic
varietal flavors that linger on a persistent
finish. Fresh, vibrant and packed with mouth-watering
flavors. Ideal to accompany pasta dishes with
freshly chopped herbs, crisp summer salads,
and seafood especially shellfish.

Terrace
Heights Estate Viognier
Lots of peachy, apricot aromas and flavors.
A full-bodied yet elegant wine displaying ripe
stonefruit and some tropical nuances balanced
by a crisp citrus finish. Rich and weighty,
concentrated and unforgettable. This wine works
well with full-flavoured chicken, salmon or
lighter pork dishes.
Terrace Height Estate Pinot Noir
Last
year this won Trophy for "The Best Pinot
Noir" at the Royal Easter Show and this
one is a cracker too. Hand picked fruit, and
11 months in French oak - this wine has been
carefully nurtured and still its reasonably
priced for pinot noir. Succulent black cherry
and plum aromas lifted by vanilla and spicy
oak. Its a full-bodied wine containing opulent
dark fruit flavours and a supple, silky texture
balanced by sweet oak.
