The Selaks Essentials range is made in an approachable style highlighting the fresh vibrant fruit character of each variety. These are wines suitable for all occasions, delivering excellent quality and consistency every vintage. This Pinot Noir has flavours of rich, sweet fruit and cherry with a fine tannin structure and spicy lingering finish.

The Taste Collection is a celebration of the generous and distinct flavours that have made Selaks wines so extraordinary and sought after for more than 90 years. Rich Berry Merlot, the rich berry fruit flavours gently cascade along the palate, underpinned by soft fine tannins. A sumptuous, fruit-forward wine with lingering flavour right to the finish.

This is a fruit driven Hawkes Bay Merlot ready to drink or for the short term cellar. A perfect match with roast lamb and minted potatoes.

Cool red berry fruits, but berry fruits that are also ripe and rounded. The tannins are smooth and welcoming, yet cabernet tannins will do what cabernet tannins will do: sweep through the palate. Accompanying them is a neat acidity and a slick, balanced alcohol. Cabernet sauvignon in equilibrium.

Rich red berry flavours (grenache) then earth and spice and plums (shiraz) and thirdly a long, leafy back-palate (yes, mataro - you've worked this game out now, haven't you...) The sum, however, is much more than the parts. The tannins are neat but not in any way unnoticed. Acidity holds the line. The pure fruit and berry notes are balanced by the tannins and the oak's spice.

A soft and gently rounded palate with ample rich fruits smoothly laced with bucolic tannins and framed by a keen keel of stirring acidity. Plums and blackberries return along with hints of milk chocolate. The giving blackberry and plum fruit is perfectly counter-weighted by the strangely reassuring gruffness of the tannins.

Smoking Loon The Original Old Vine Zinfandel is a striking deep, inky purple colour in the glass. Aromas of ripe raspberry, black cherry, peppercorn and toasted coconut lift from the glass. This rich, medium-bodied wine is full of flavour with loads of fresh red fruits; raspberry, pomegranate and a healthy dose of that classic Zinfandel spice. This is a bold wine with good structure and lively acidity making it a perfect match for any type of BBQ.

An amalgamation of stunning fruit, stylish oak and layers of integrated texture. Ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and cigar meld with juicy black doris plum. A superbly weighted palate framed by chocolatey tannins and great length. A velvet revolver designed for superior concealment.

An elegantly concentrated palate of black berries, black pepper and seductive spices. Nutty oak balanced by fine chocolatey tannins. Violet and black florals lead to a stylish lingering finish with mineral elements. SOHO Rosso, a flawless extravagance of femininity.

A wine of power & drive with a strong sustained finish of liquorice, spices & impressive oak.

Select parcels of Pinot Noir from around New Zealand went into this wonderfully fruit-driven wine, bursting with dark cherry and wild lavender aromas, with notes of red liquorice and clove and a smooth finish.
