NEWSLETTER - SPRING 2011

 

Sign up for our newsletter - please send your name and postal address to info@vossestate.co.nz

We have one special wine for this release – our premium Pinot Noir 2010. When we first started our vineyard journey way back in 1986 our aim was to produce the best possible Pinot noir. We got diverted somewhat and ended up making other varieties as well but our heart and soul was always with Pinot. So this is our future – to focus all our efforts and resources on this one grape variety, our flagship wine. From a wine maker’s perspective this is a very exciting and challenging direction. Without doubt Pinot noir is the one grape variety that inspires and frustrates winemakers in equal measures.

 

It has been a very rewarding year for us at Voss Estate. Our wines continue to receive good reviews. Just after posting our newsletter both our Pinot Noir 2009 and Reserve Chardonnay 2009 were awarded 5 stars by Sam Kim, Wine Orbit. We only have very limited supplies of these two wines left from last year's release. Please email us sales@vossestate.co.nz if you wish to make a purchase - Pinot Noir $33 and Chardonnay $25, including GST. 

We have just returned from a global wine marketing trip – exhausting but lots of fun. Our Pinot is now exported to nine countries. Highlights of the trip included our biggest wine order ever - into Sweden, a Voss Estate wine maker’s dinner in The Netherlands and a resumption of sales into high end retail in London. A stop in Malaysia to visit our Asian wine buyer completed the journey.  

Even though 90% of our wine is exported, it is the local sales, especially through mail order, that we find the most satisfying. Many of you have been buying our wine by mail order for nearly 20 years – you have been on the journey with us. We always enjoy and appreciate the feedback from people who buy and enjoy our wine. Thank you!  

To order wine please email us sales@vossestate.co.nz with the number of bottles of Voss Pinot Noir 2010 you wish to purchase (at $33 including GST), your name and delivery address, contact phone number, and credit card payment details. Our minimum order is now FOUR bottles, not six, as we are offering a single variety. Freight within New Zealand is still free. After a careful review of security we are no longer using the online website order form. Please allow up to a week for delivery – if urgent then let us know.

Our newsletter was only posted to our active members this spring, those of you making recent purchases. We trust you will instead enjoy reading it online. Please email us sales@vossestate.co.nz if you would still like us to post you our Spring Release or just an order form.

Pleasant drinking.

Kind regards

Annette & Gary

Visiting Martinborough

Mail order is still the best way to source our wines as we are no longer open for cellar door sales in Martinborough. If you do come to town you can purchase our wines at the
Martinborough Wine Centre (who sometimes offer tastings) or at any of the retail shops in town.
