X Basket Pressed Marlborough Syrah 2021
Aromas and flavours of ripe red berry fruits - cherry and some dried raspberry, a touch of black currant, then textures from fine tannins and medium+ acidity. There’s a balanced earthy clay and stone quality and a touch of mushroom adding breadth and depth.

Little X Hawkes Bay Syrah 2020
A lovely dark-fruited bouquet with spices, dark raspberry, plum, wood spices, and earthy notes. On the palate, it mirrors the bouquet with dark peppery spices, smoky wood, clove, and vanilla, complemented by raspberry, black currant, and baking spices. This wine has a backbone of acidity and a delightful mouthfeel.

Little X Hawkes Bay Rosé 2022
Made with Syrah fruit the bouquet is bright, fruity and full of fresh raspberry and cherry scents. On the palate there’s a lovely fine texture from tannins enhanced by acidity and with a core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet this is a delicious, refreshing and easy to drink expression.

Little X Sunday Paddock Marlborough Pinot Noir 2021
Varietal, fruity and developing bouquet with scents and flavours of plum then cherry and some black currant flesh. On the palate the tannins are fine and easily dissolved, the acid line is perfectly placed. Overall a balanced and well made wine.
