"Kia ora – Brent Pickering from New World Hastings here. Keen to discover a new top drop in time for summer?

My favourite wine from this year’s New World Wine Awards is The Hunting Lodge Expressions Delicate Rosé 2019.

This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.
