Clearwater Cove

Clearwater Cove (by Peter Yealands) Pinot Gris 2016 Marlborough
Fruity, varietal, fresh and crisp almost pure aromas of Gris with ripe pear and red apple, a Meyer lemon note and gentle white spice. Juicy and flashy textures on the palate with flavours that match the nose, contrasting acidity to a light residual sweetness moment. Drink now and through 2019.

Clearwater Cove (by Peter Yealands) Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Marlborough
Fruity and quite pungent with aromas and flavours of tropical fruits and a little citrus, quite herbaceous and juicy. Passionfruit and mango, some lemon and green apple. Juicy texture with plenty of acidity and a little residual sweetness. Balanced and well made. Drink now and through 2018.

Clearwater Cove (by Peter Yealands) Rosé 2017 Marlborough
Light, crisp and quite a pungent bouquet with aromas of water melon, strawberry and fresh green herbs; some chilled peach tea notes and light rose layer. Crisp, juicy, fleshy and just dry on the palate. Flavours reflect the nose – a very easy drinking expression. Enjoy now and through 2018.

Clearwater Cove (by Peter Yealands) Pinot Noir 2016 South Island
Ripe light red fruited bouquet with aromas and flavours of dark red cherry, some plum and raspberry; a light toasty oak layer adds some depth and complexity. Fruity, just dry and very easy to drink with fine tannins, contrasting acidity and flavours centering on vanilla, cherry and plum. Moderate length and balanced. Drink now and through 2019.
