BASCAND ROSE 2009
“Made from Pinot Noir, this is a nicely perfumed wine displaying red cherry and floral characters on the nose. The palate is refreshing and juicy with a easy flowing mouthfeel and a lingering finish. There's a hint of sweetness (6 g/l) which is well balanced by the crisp acidity. A very pleasant and satisfying rosé. At its best: now to 2011. Feb 2010. 86/100, 4 stars.”
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Issue 10, 2010.
BASCAND SAUVIGNON BLANC 2009
“It's youthful and gentle on the nose displaying floral, apple and subtle herbaceous characters. The palate is juicy and rounded with a nicely flowing mouthfeel and a crisp dry finish. A pleasant and easy drinking style offering good value for money. At its best: now to 2011. Feb 2010. 84/100, 3.5 stars.”

Silver Medal Winner Air New Zealand Awards
“This single vineyard Riesling is, to be frank, bloody delicious. Carrying it’s 15gms of residual sugar with consummate ease. A tiny amount of carbon dioxide adds extra freshness and zip to the palate, which has intense flavours of lemon, lime and green apple. It’s a very aromatic wine with an off -dry to medium-dry finish. (Tasting note courtesy of Scenic Cellars) and 10/10 on our gulpable rating!”

“Freshly herbaceous style, estate-grown at Rapaura. Crisp, with very good body and depth of tropical fruit and green capsicum flavours, well balanced and lively.” 3 1/2 stars
BASCAND SAUVIGNON BLANC 2008
Sam's Score: 92 Points
“A welcome departure from the typical Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. Enticing nectarine, tangerine and rose petal aromas pass through to the palate where sleek Meyer lemon and a quinine element emerge. The palate is extraordinarily plush and layered with an outstanding mouth-feel. Equal parts complex and hedonistic. There is something for everyone here. This wine is a revelation” 92 points

Sam's Score: 93 Points
“Fragrant and extremely suave and flavorful. Packed with damson plum, black cherry and sweet spice notes. Beautiful floral notes emerge (especially hibiscus), as well as bergamot oil, Assam tea and a touch of tamarind. The texture is pure silk and the finish is shockingly long. 93 points
