Sauvignon Blanc
Buyer's Guide to New Zealand Wines 2009, Michael Cooper
“Grown near the Long cow paddock on the south side of the Wairau Valley, where Marlborough's first wines were made in the 1870's, the 2008 vintage (*****) 5 stars was 15 percent barrel-fermented (in two to four-year-old oak).
Lovely in its infancy, it has ripe, slightly "sweaty" aromas, leading into a mouth filling, sweet-fruited wine, with a real touch of complexity.
Finely textured, very fresh and vibrant, it is deliciously rich, ripe and rounded.”
Extensive Wine Review by Senior Wine Judge, Sam Kim, 2008
2008 Auntsfield long cow Sauvignon Blanc
“It's bursting with lime zest and herbal characters with a touch of musky notes on the nose. The palate is sweet and juicy showing plenty of zingy acidity and fruity mouthfeel.
Beautifully expressive and appealing. At its best: now to 2010.”
International Wine Challenge, London 2006
Gold Medal Award for 2005 long cow Sauvignon Blanc
“Grown near the Long Cow paddock at the Auntsfield property on the south side of the Wairau Valley where Marlborough's first wines were made in the 1870's. The 2005 is a fleshy, generous, ripely flavoured wine with limey, gooseberryish fruit and good harmony.”
Buyer's Guide to NZ Wines 2006, Michael Cooper
“Fleshy and flavoursome, this is a generous wine with a full, harmonious palate and ripe-fruit characters of gooseberry and lime, showing good freshness and intensity.”
Cuisine Magazine Review (January 2006)
2004 long cow Sauvignon Blanc
Review LCBO 'Vintages Magazine'
“From just their second vintage his wine features a big, classic Sauvignon Blanc nose. Grassy, with some asparagus scents, this is absolutely mouth-watering.”
Chardonnay
Buyer's Guide to New Zealand Wine 2009, Michael Cooper
2007 Auntsfield Cob Cottage Chardonnay
“A consistently rewarding wine. Estate-grown on the south side of the Wairau Valley, hand-picked and fermented (partly with indigenous yeasts) in French oak barriques (40% new), the classy 2007 (*****) 4½ stars has a biscuity, mealy bouquet. Weighty and youthful, it is sweat-fruited, with concentrated, vibrant, grapefruit-like flavours, showing good complexity, a hint of butterscotch, and a slightly creamy finish.”

Pinot Noir
Buyer's Guide to New Zealand Wines 2009, Michael Cooper
2007 Auntsfield hawk hill Pinot Noir
“Hawk Hill is the name of the elevated, north facing slopes at Auntsfield Estate, on the south side of the Wairau Valley. The 2007 (*****) 4½ stars matured in French oak barriques (40% new), is deeply coloured, mouth filling, rich and soft, with very ripe plumy, spicy flavours, seasoned with toasty oak, and gentle tannins. It's already delicious.”
