The last time I\u2019d been out this way, this was Matua Wines and the restaurant in the old villa provided us with a memorable lunch. Things have certainly changed, and you drive in past the old buildings to discover a complex of open-air seating, food trucks, and another cellar door, which was also offering plenty of craft beers for those who wanted a break from the wine. We did go for a beer at first a &#8211; lovely IPA from Liberty Brewing at Helensville, called \u2018Knife Party\u2019 but after that had cleared our palates, we were definitely ready for more wine tastings.<\/p><p>There didn\u2019t seem to be too much on offer from local vines, so we dived into a Sauvignon Blanc which was one of those that has seen some time in oak barrels. I often think it\u2019s Sav for chardonnay lovers (Hello!) with a lot of what I don\u2019t like about our national wine, taken away, and lots of good bits added. I know this polarises Sav drinkers &#8211; as they want that cats-pee and Passionfruit flavour profile \u2013 it\u2019s just that I don\u2019t. And, more, I think that what the wine gets from the barrel influence, adds so much more interest, complexity and expression, that it\u2019s like a whole different wine variety? This \u2018Homeblock \u201cLiberated\u201d sav Blanc\u201d was really intriguing. However, not the $40+ pricetag.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8a5f4e5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8a5f4e5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bcd5fac\" data-id=\"bcd5fac\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-310b72c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"310b72c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We loved the change of pace here \u2013 it was a bit more relaxing than the \u2018serious\u2019 side of going around wineries and wine tasting.

There\u2019s a white blend which I always like to try and often find under-valued. Theirs is \u2018White Mischief\u2019 and it\u2019s a great summery wine with a little oak and lees influence to give it some lifted texture. Also, an Albarino from a single Awatere Valley vineyard that had the lovely crisp salinity that I like about this variety \u2013 this would be agreat wine as a talking point at a gathering. It\u2019s not obviously a wine that\u2019s easy to pick \u2013 not a Sav, not a chardonnay, maybe a Riesling \u2013 but somewhere inbetween all of these?; and then we had the Lagrein to finish off with a red. This was a beast \u2013 big plum, liquorice and dark chocolate amongst dense tannins and yet a little juiciness and berry influences sidling in later on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7bec2fe\" data-id=\"7bec2fe\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1331983 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1331983\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_3995.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1184\" alt=\"Pizzas at Hunting Lodge\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_3995.jpg 480w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_3995-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-569fc6c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"569fc6c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f98611f\" data-id=\"f98611f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-649e855 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"649e855\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Very accessible to anyone would could be put off at the thought of going to a straightforward cellar door tasting at a winery.
