Lynnette Hudson, Tongue in Groove Wines
Exclusive offer for wine lovers with North & South
14th August, 2025
North & South’s new column, By the Bottle, with wine writer Timothy Giles, is an edgy, funny and insightful glimpse examining wine labels (Why do they look like that? Why do they say that? What is this I’m about to drink?) and asks how does the wine measure up to the brand’s pledge and promise? Whether you’re a consumer, marketer or a wine maker – it’s a ground-breaking, honest wine-conversation, in both style and substance.
To celebrate the launch of By the Bottle, we’ve partnered with Tongue and Groove winemaker who is offering, exclusively to friends of N&S, six bottles of rare, premium wine at heavily discounted prices, to drink now or cellar.
The celebration collection includes:
2 bottles x 2023 Little Stomper Orange Wine $30 (RRP $44.99)
2 bottles of 2017 Pinot Noir $40 (RRP $59.99)
2 bottles of 2016 Pinot Noir $45 (RRP $72.99)
Little Stomper is a return to simple winemaking, organically grown grapes, hand-picked, sorted to remove any diseased berries, put in a vat, stems and all, and left to practically make itself. Intensely perfumed and aromatic, with a fruity palate yet structure due to the inclusion of stems in the fermentation process. A gateway wine from white wine to red, like a rose on steroids.
And enjoy a rare opportunity to taste and savour two older pinot noir from Cabal Vineyard, North Canterbury. Two very different growing seasons, two very different wines, each delicious in its own right, highlighting what a difference a year makes. Great drinking now, or in five years.
Think good vintage, rarely available, just for you.
