Remarkable Wines

Reviewed By acooke85 - Cronulla, Australia

We made a somewhat impromptu visit to Remarkable wines after some recommendations and a quick phone call to Richard who generously made himself available to guide us through his list of ~ half a dozen of his beautiful, boutique wines. The majority of the grapes were sourced from the vines over which we were looking as we tasted, with a few from a vineyard Richard owns in the nearby Gibston Valley. Richard was extremely knowledgable and accommodating, giving passionate, rank-newbies like ourselves an easily digestive but very interesting walk through on how the wines were made, how to correctly tastes the wines and the factors going into these characteristics. Having visited many of the wineries around central otago, this was without a doubt one of our most enjoyed experiences, with incredible great value, award winning, wines and is definitely a must do for the bannockburn area. Thanks again, Richad.
