Unison Snazzy Sauvignon Blanc
£13.00
“In true Unison fashion this wine is certainly not a mass produced NZ Sauvignon Blanc with just a tad over 1000 bottles produced! This has enabled us to craft a slightly different style of Sauvignon Blanc which we think is a very Snazzy, hope you agree.
Layers of gooseberry, passionfruit and crushed herbs jump out of the glass. In the mouth an explosion of lime zest, gooseberry and passionfruit linger with a freshness on the finish.”

Unison New Zealand Excalibur Wine 2016
Grown, fermented, matured and bottled at Unison Vineyard
52% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Syrah.
Vintage 2016
Vintage 2016 growing season can be summed up as good, but challengingly erratic. We experienced a cool start to the growing season with the growing degree running below average until mid-January. February was a scorcher, and permitted the ripening of all our grapes to move into the “normal window.” March and April had threats of rain, but on the whole, were fine and warm allowing us to pick healthy grapes in good conditions.
Winemaking
Gentle handling and attention to detail are the hallmarks of our winemaking. We handpick our grapes, then de-stem and lightly crush to just break their skins before they go into small, open topped fermenting vats. The ferments are worked by hand plunging along with drain and returns to maximise gentle tannin extraction, and extended post ferment maceration allows us to achieve a balance between fruit intensity and tannin structure. After basket pressing the individual component varieties of the 2016 Excalibur went into barrel.
The blend was put together mid-winter 2017 and continued to mature in oak barrels. 2016 Excalibur spent 20 months in barrels and was fined using fresh egg whites and filtered before bottling on the property in March 2018. Bottle aging on site for 5 years and released August 22.
Tasting Note
Wonderful complexity of aromas. Warm spicy blueberries, black Doris plums, violets and vanilla.
Seamless and elegant on the palate with concentrated flavours of dark berry fruits, laced with warm spice, purple florals and cocoa,
Great freshness and persistence on the finish. Enjoy now or cellar with confidence.
Unison New Zealand Syrah Rocks Wine 2019
Grown, fermented, matured and bottled at Unison Vineyard
Unison Vineyard is a small Family Estate in the heart of the Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing District in Hawkes Bay. Established in 1993, with densely planted vines that are carefully managed for low yield, ripeness and intense flavour. Our red wines are made from 100% Gimblett Gravels fruit grown in our own vineyard
Vintage 2019
The start of the 2019 growing season was wet and cool, but this season will be remembered for the glorious last 3 months of fine warm dry weather allowing grapes to be picked in ideal conditions. Disease pressure was low; grapes were ripe with good flavour concentration and excellent sugar and acid balance.
Winemaking – hand crafted with attention to detail.
Fermented in small open topped vats, with daily manual working our ferments are carefully monitored to express the best of our vineyard. Our new wines macerate with their skins for up to three weeks after fermentation while we map the development and evolution of the fruit and tannin. When a balance point is reached we “devat” and basket pressed the grape skins. Syrah Rocks spent 20 months maturing in oak and was bottled on the property in Feb 2021.
Further maturation in bottle for a further 18 months before release Sept 2022
Tasting Note
Each swirl of the glass brings another layer of aromatics to add to the distinctive varietal Syrah aromas. Dark berry fruits, purple flowers and warm baking spices mingle with dried herbs and warm rocky earth notes.
Juicy and fleshy, with a silky texture and layers of flavour that develop as the wine dances boldly across the palate. Refreshing blueberries and black berry fruit flavours along with violets,
lavender and old rose give depth and complexity to the flavour profile.
Balanced, approachable and distinctive. Enjoy Rocks Syrah 2019 today, or cellar with care and enjoy over the next 5 years. The wine is very food friendly and will pair well with many cuisines, try with Asian and Indian food too! Vegan Friendly.

Unison New Zealand Merlin’s Reserve Merlot Wine 2016
Grown, fermented, matured and bottled at Unison Vineyard
Vintage 2016
Vintage 2016 growing season can be summed up as good, but challengingly erratic. We experienced a cool start to the growing season with the growing degree running below average until mid- January. February was a scorcher, and permitted the ripening of all our grapes to move into the “normal window”. March and April had threats of rain, but on the whole, were fine and warm allowing us to pick healthy grapes in good conditions.
Winemaking – hand crafted with attention to detail.
The grapes for Merlin’s Merlot were hand picked and fermented in small open topped vats. The fermentations were carefully monitored and worked daily by hand. The new wine spent 3 weeks macerating with the grape skins while the tannins and fruit evolved and developed. When a balance point was reached we “devatted” and basket pressed the grape skins. The new wine spent 20 months maturing in oak barrels and puncheons and was bottled on the property in March 2018. Further maturing in bottle for 5 years, release Mar 2023.
Tasting Note
Bold penetrating aromas of roasted black Doris plum, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and a hint of liquorice.
Supple with sustained presence on the palate. Layered flavours of spicy dark fruits, chocolate, and dried herbs.
Great balance with fine tannins that melt on the finish carrying the flavours to persist with freshness and purity.
Drink now and cellar with confidence.
