"There’s an instant and captivating bouquet with aromas of mineral stone and saline scents layered between  ripe stone fruit, ripe citrus peel, apple and barrel spices with a light white smoke quality. Complex and new. Delicious, dry and complex on the palate and with fruit from the ‘Sea’ and ‘Earth’ vineyards the fresh spiced qualities of the Te Awanga site with its citrus and white fleshed fruit flavours along with a lick of salinity and the  denser richer fruit flavours from the Bridge Pa site present a textured and flavourful wine. Acidity, fine wood tannins and lees set the foundation and key components for ageing. Lengthy finish with best drinking from late 2023 through 2029+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is gentle and soft, with aromas of citrus, oyster shell, hazelnut underlying stonefruit and cream custard. Medium-full bodied, aromas of lemon, grapefruit and pith entwined with peach, roasted hazelnut, warm custard and oyster shell. The mouthfeel is creamy and voluminous, supported by salivating acidity, flowing with a chalky texture and carrying hazelnut elements to a lingering, nutty finish. Match with grouper and roasted artichoke over the next 5 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Mar 2023

"Labelled as 'classic, fresh seaside Chardonnay', the 2021 vintage (5*) certainly lives up to expectations. Estate-grown and hand-picked at Te Awanga, it was fermented and lees-aged for a year in French oak casks (20 per cent new), then aged for a further five months on its light yeast lees. Bright, light lemon/green, it has a fragrant, gently oaked bouquet. Mouthfilling, it has rich, peachy, citrusy flavours, hints of butterscotch and toasty, fresh acidity and a long, dry finish. A vibrant, complex wine, it's already drinking well, but very ageworthy too" Michael Cooper, Buyer's Guide

"Mostly from an estate coastal vineyard in Te Awanga with a small addition from the Bridge Pa area. Rich, creamy wine with lime, green apple, nectarine and white peach flavours supported by bright acidity" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2023

Classic, fresh seaside Chardonnay blended with a small portion from our warmer inland vineyard adding richness. Racy and flavoursome with piercing citrus, underlying peachy ripe notes. Mouthwatering and concentrated, elegant and refined.

A fantastic vintage for Hawke’s Bay with picking starting early for the whites with good ripeness achieved whilst maintainiing natural fresh acidity levels. The wines are stylistcally elegant, mineral and well defined.

100% handpicked Chardonnay, 82% from SEA vineyard (Te Awanga) and 18% from EARTH vineyard (Bridge Pa Triangle). Whole bunch pressed. Aged 12 months in French oak, 20% new, and a further 5 months, all on light lees.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.
