Wooing Tree's breathtaking pinot pièce de résistance is definitely one sandstorm you want to get caught up in, with its exquisite fruit flavours, complexed personality and powerful structure.
Wooing Tree is situated in the heart of Cromwell, which is NZ's only inland sand dune habitat. During the development of the vineyard strong NW conjured up fierce sandstorms off the dunes where only the hardy would survive - enter Sandstorm Reserve!!

Wooing Tree vineyards excel at making Pinot Noir grapes into all sorts of amorous experiences - from the light & cheeky Rose and Blondie to the more serious Beetlejuice and the flagship Pinot Noir. A select few grapes however are put aside to create Wooing Tree's ultimate Pinot Noir - the whirlwind experience that is the 'Sandstorm Reserve'. Aptly named from experiences with New Zealands only inland sand dune habitat of Cromwell. Before the vine roots took hold in the Wooing Tree vineyard during the strong NW winds sandstorms would ravage the sandy vineyard. It is from these hardy initial plantings Peter Bartle (winemaker) would select the chosen few grapes to craft the Reserve. Sandstorm Reserve is nothing short of breathtaking with its exquisite fruit flavours, complexed personality and powerful structure, this is definitely one sandstorm you want to get caught up in.
Carrick’s Rose shows off the pure juice of the great Central Otago Pinot Noir berry….kissed by the skins
Just the ticket for a long lunch or a lazy picnic near the water. Just pop the Rose in the water when you get there then 20min later after setup and it’s good to go –perfectly chilled!
As you pull into Clearview winery's driveway you get a glimpse of dramatic Te Awanga beach as illustrated on the bottle. Beachhead continues that dramatic scene in your mouth.
As we know great drama wins awards and Beachy's character is worthy of multiple golds...
