Bottle
Hinton Hill Country Merlot
$33
This wine caught us on the hop with it’s super-ripe fruit of jammy blackberries and black currants. If this is anything to go by the potential for this variety in Earnscleugh is fantastic!
Hinton Hill Country Merlot/Malbec/Cabernet
$8
$33
Soft, forward yet rich Merlot driven wine from the Hawkes Bay. The nose hints of stone fruits, and perfumed berry fruits, and the palate has ripe fruits, liquorice, dark chocolate and spice.
Hinton Hill Country Pinot Noir 2004
$8
$33
An elegant, middleweight style with a seasoning of quality French oak. Soft and rich on the palate, with gentle tannins and good acidity.
Hinton Estate Pinot Noir 2004

$45
Our award winning Pinot shows dark cherries and plums with a hint of alcohol warmth. A soft, supple and complex wine now showing good integration after 3 years in the bottle.
Hinton Estate Pinot Noir 2003
$49
A great review from Bob Campbell followed by multiple awards. This delicate wine shows great finesse in the tradition of fine Burgundy with a smooth texture and spicy flavours with rich, sweet berry and cherry fruit, and a wonderfully delicate hint of chocolate.
Hinton Estate Pinot Noir 2002
$65
The wine has delicious ripe cherries and raspberries that balance nicely with chocolate and oak. There is a smooth velvety mouth feel, and complexity to drink now or cellar until 2012.
