Welcome to the Novum e-cellar door
Started in the spring of 2017, Novum is the brainchild of William & Rachel Hoare.
Novum has a simple philosophy. They source small parcels of grapes from special sites within established vineyards to make the very best wine they can. Will's experience and wide network of grower contacts in Marlborough puts them in a unique position to make their dream a reality.

Novum Quarters Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024
A considered wine with balance and articulate detail of dark cherries, pomegranate and raspberry leaf. Its small portion of whole bunch almost outlines the ripe fruit, adding a stencil of sage and rosemary that brings the wine into focus. Some savoury new oak, cedar, chewing tobacco and mace round out the finish.
The crowning glory is the thistle and underbrush that pulls and stretches the final flavours of the wine.

Novum Riverbrook Vineyard Chardonnay 2024
95 Points - OUTSTANDING
Fantastic wine, taut and youthful with a bouquet of flinty, fresh stone and citrus fruits, a positive gentle reductive layer and mineral fine lees complexity. A dry wine with plenty of weight and a satin mouthfeel, flavours range from white apricot and peach to apple and sweet grapefuit. Layers of wood introduce fine tannins and a natural wood sweetness, as well as added complexity and length. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2032+
