Flying Kiwi
Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
Challenging the Impossible
The famous flightless New Zealand native bird, the Kiwi, is the icon of New Zealand. Lismore Wines believes in achieving the impossible and dares the Kiwi to find the means to ‘fly’. The Lismore Wines philosophy is that nothing is too difficult – all hurdles can be overcome.
Flying Kiwi Pinot Noir
This classic pinot noir is ruby red in colour with violet hues. Rich raspberry and redcurrant aromas combine with ripe plum, cloves and oak characters on the palate.
Soft tannins and balanced acidity combine to produce this elegant wine. A wine to be enjoyed now and that will develop with extended cellaring. An ideal match with duck, pork, wild game or New Zealand lamb.
Flying Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc
This classic Sauvignon Blanc’s colour is pale straw with green lights. Ripe tropical passionfruit, gooseberry and green capsicum aromas balance with crisp acidity and herbal notes to add complexity and depth to a long lingering finish.
A wine to be enjoyed during the next 12 to 18 months and it may develop further complexity with extended cellaring. An ideal match with roast poultry, seafood or to be enjoyed simply on its own as an aperitif.
Flying Kiwi Chardonnay
This well balanced wine has a soft appealing texture with lingering flavors of stone fruit with aromas of peach and tropical fruits. The palate is soft and creamy, well balanced and elegant.
The wine will continue to evolve over time to reveal a creamy texture. Perfect to drink now or cellar up to 3 years.
