Extremely limited, NZ allocation has been cut dramatically for the 2017 release
Only 6 bottles of this iconic wine from one of the best vintages.

Fantastic Nelson Sauvignon Blanc every bit as good as it's rivals from over the hill. Juicy and  fruity with lovely structured acid on the finish. This is the wine deal that the Winesale staff are all taking home this weekend. We love this wine and you will too!

The 2014 vintage made a huge impact, winning a trophy and gold medals galore. The 2015 is no slouch either with lemon curd, white nectarine and honeydrew. The palate is floral with a touch of sweetness. This is one beautiful cool climate Albarino!

The 2015 Nautilus Chardonnay is pale straw in colour. The wine displays a complex range of aromas, including citrus blossoms, white peach and toasted almonds. The palate is well integrated, with a good depth of flavour and a refreshingly long finish. This wine has a tight mineral structure in its youth and will develop a creamy texture as it matures. 

Refreshing and elegant, Cape Crest ’16 is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc of distinct refinement. Pale, straw-coloured and with flecks of brilliant lime-green, this sauvignon blend has complexing aromas of gooseberry, fennel, grapefruit and red currants. Toasted coconut and textured spice from French oak development combines with guava, mango, concentrated citrus, white flowers and creamy, clover honey to give this moreish wine its unique level of weight, depth and length.

This intriguing Chardonnay is a finely balanced blend of our very best Hawkes Bay vineyards. Full, rich and creamy, it tantalises with intense apricot and grapefruit flavours, complimented with butterscotch and flinty fresh lemon-lime notes. Maturation in quality oak barrels has further contributed spicy nutmeg and vanilla accents. Complex and vibrant, this wine is immediately appealing, and will also greatly reward cellaring over the medium term.

4.5 Stars - "It is generously fruited and wonderfully expressive; gorgeous aromas of yellow peach, mango, citrus and vanillin oak lead to a powerful palate that is silky, creamy and flowing. The wine shows excellent concentration and focus, as well as harmony and balance, and is utterly delicious." - Sam Kim
2014 Carter Chardonnay reflects a more temperate vintage with fine citrus, melon & ground nut complexities. Elegance, grace of line & lacy acidity revealing a refined & delicate palate ... quite the ballet ensemble!

Considered the "Central Otago Guru" of winemaking, Grant Taylor is an exceptionally talented and meticulous winemaker. The Valli range of wines are truly superb!
