Goldwater 1999 Roseland Chardonnay (Central Otago)
- $27
A rich, toasty, buttery Chardonnay, filled with aromas and flavors of baked golden-delicious apple, which somehow manages to retain a sense of balance. The thick mouthfeel seems to last into the lingering finish.

Goldwater 2001 Roseland Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $22
Offers lush tropical fruit and a healthy dose of butter, framed by toasty oak, and kept in check by just-adequate acidity. Delicious now, so drink up—the precarious balance that has been achieved won’t last for more than a year or two.

Goldwater 2002 Zell Chardonnay (Waiheke Island)
- $40
Nicely done, with toasty, mealy notes that are balanced by ripe pear and peach fruit. Hints of grilled fruit and roasted nuts complete the picture, finishing with lingering echoes of smoke.

Goldwater 2010 Wairau Valley Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $26
Goldwater originally made its name as a Waiheke Island boutique winery, but the fruit for this Pinot Noir is drawn from Marlborough’s main Wairau Valley. Its pretty cherry fruit is marked by hints of cedar, mocha and baking spices that finish balanced and long. Drink now–2017.

Goldwater 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $20
Pungent aromas of grapefruit and gooseberries lead into a wine that shows good richness in the mouth—it’s almost creamy. Finishes long, with grapefruit and mint overtones.

Goldwater 1998 Red (Waiheke Island)
- $60
Fairly herbaceous, with aromas and flavors of green tea, herbs and tobacco that are complemented by cherry fruit. The soft tannins on the long, echoing finish bode well for the cellar.

Goldwater 2000 Zell Chardonnay (Waiheke Island)
- $40
You may mistake this light and elegant Chard for a white Burgundy; It's light on the nose, with flour-chalk and herbal notes. Apple-skin and tart pear flavors take over in the mouth. Even and medium-bodied on the palate, it finishes gravelly in texture, with lime -rind and herb flavors.

Goldwater 2002 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $20
After a disappointingly vegetal 2001, Goldwater’s Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc has returned to form, offering citrus and stone fruits allied to fresh herbs and peppery spice. The creamy mouthfeel adds a touch of roundness to this lively, vivacious wine.
