Found this in Tescos (UK) £12.99 Stockmans Staion 2003.
Bright pale brick with wonderful complex fruit and strawberries nose. Soft and easy tannins, fruit in balance. Long. Very good. Not a long life ahead but will drink well over the next few years.
Google did not find it, and the label states Crown Range Wines Felton Road Otago. Did Crown Wines take over Felton Road amd is this a Felton road offering??
Good enough for me to go back this morning and clear the shelf!!
Opps header should say STOCKMANS Station
I am really going senile, and its only 1500hr and not a drop has passed my lips. I bloody well googled on Stokemans Station. Where the hell did Stokeman come from........? Is there a cure? should I drink more Claret? should I have Friday lunches like Bill?
Exit stage left muttering," will I live long enough for my 2005 claret?" Will I know that it's Wine let alone Claret?" Reach for the Prozac.
At least Jane M agrees..

No and No !
Stockman's Station is an export only label from Crown Range Wines.
Crown Range Wines owns 35 hectares of vineyards in two of Central Otago's Felton Road and Wanaka Road locations
Their primary label is "Wild Earth", a selection of wines which are offered in the UK, USA, Canada & Singapore - but not New Zealand or Australia.???? (go figger!!!!!)
Central Otago has been inundated by wealthy business people from all over over the world, who wish to satisfy their collective egos by buying land; planting grapes and entering the world of wine.
Crown Range is owned by an ex-pat Californian who has spent many years in the South Island of NZ.
If you are interested take a look at -
As to the wines - dunno - never seen them in my neck of the woods.
