A name synonymous with leadership in wine, Sir George Fistonich has a history of success but has always operated with an eye on the future.

"Splendidly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows dark plum, thyme, game and toasted nut aromas, leading to a juicy palate delivering smooth texture backed by finely polished tannins. Wonderfully composed and styled with a lengthy delectable finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2024

A heady chocolate and cherry bouquet following through to a soft and inviting front palate. The ripe tannins form a backdrop for vibrant fruit display combining to create a long lingering lip-smacking finish.

Diverging from the straight and narrow, Obliix wines are made when the winemaker decides to take the road less travelled. The end result is delicious and joyful wines.

Sourced from Ballochdale, Awatere Valley, Marlborough 1OO%. Hand Picked and Machine harvested. Pinot Noir selected yeast.

2O23 was a textbook vintage for Marlborough. Clear blue-sky days with sporadic clouds and cool nights, which Pinot Noir thrives on, ensuring fruit purity, excellent ripeness and fruit development. Tank and seasoned oak barriques.
