Allan Scott (Marlborough) 2023 Pinot Gris

91 Points - Sam Kim, WIne Orbit (2001 Vintage)

Marlborough Pinot Gris has grown strongly in popularity over the last few years and has quickly become a staple in the Allan Scott Family Winemakers range.

Winemakers let Pinot Gris have a short spell of skin contact to enhance its colour and flavour. The result is a delicately luscious wine that exhibits pear, apple, and subtle floral and honeysuckle flavours. With a smooth texture, this wine is flawlessly delicious when enjoyed on its own.

Bay and Barnes (Australia) 2022 Chardonnay

Made by the good folks at Giesen Wines from selected Australian fruit.

Following harvest, fruit was gently pressed before settling. Specially selected yeasts were used to start fermentation. From there the wine matured on French oak for eight months with regular lees stirring to maximise flavour.

Enjoy this Chardonnay with a group of friends or match with a classic pasta or risotto.

Bay and Barnes (South Africa) 2023 Sauvignon Blanc

Bay and Barnes is named after two separate blocks of grapes in Marlborough. However due to the low yields in the 2021 vintage the clever folks at Giesen wines have sourced this wine from South Africa instead. This style being highly similar to the Kiwi version.

Fresh citrus aromas invite exploration and are followed by a fresh palate with fruit and citrus zest. This easy-drinking wine finishes beautifully long and perfectly balanced.

Beach House (Hawkes Bay) 2021 The Levels Chardonnay

Beach House (Hawkes Bay) Selection 2022 Chardonnay

Always a fave with Chardonnay fans and a bargain compared to others!

Winery notes
"Our 2021 Selection Chardonnay is another stunner. 100% handpicked. 100% whole bunch pressed and fermented in our finest French oak barrels. 2021 was a stellar vintage in Hawke’s Bay and made for a relatively early start to harvest. The lions share of the fruit for this wine was hand-picked on February 25^th and 26^th. After cold setting the juice, we transferred it to both large format and traditional sized barrels where it spent the next 10 months.

The nose is filled with brioche, peach, melon and grapefruit pith with hints of toasted nuts and spice. On the palate the wine is seamless with many different flavours flowing nicely together. All the hallmarks of an ultra-premium Chardonnay are present – the fruit, oak and MLF flavours coalesce together nicely. Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay at its absolute pinnacle for what is arguably a very low price for this kind of quality. Get in now before the boss decides to put the price up! "

From the one of California's finest, Bogle Vineyards, comes the Phantom Chardonnay which pays homage to hard work and determination of those who worked in the vineyards years before.

Lush, creamy, generous like its Bogle siblings and lengthy like its history. Green apple and pear transform into spicy flavours of freshly baked apple pie. Barrel fermentation in French Oak imparts layers of vanilla and melted caramel notes which meld into a smooth, rich mouthfeel.

Clearview (Hawkes Bay) 2022 Reserve Chardonnay

Previously listed on Fine Wines of New Zealand

5 Stars - Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"For his premium Chardonnay label, winemaker Tim Turvey aims for a 'big, grunty, upfront' style – and hits the target with ease. It's typically a hedonist's delight – an arrestingly bold, intense, savoury, mealy, complex wine with layers of flavour. Hand-picked from mature vines at Te Awanga, it is fermented and matured in French oak casks (typically 40 to 50 per cent new). Already enjoyable, the 2021 vintage is a bright, light yellow/green, fresh, mouthfilling wine, with rich, vibrant, stonefruit flavours, slightly toasty and buttery notes adding complexity, and a very finely balanced, lengthy finish. Best drinking 2025+."

Deservedly this now has a cult following, Always a banger! Opulent, creamy, toasty, and lavishly fruited, this is sensational full-bodied Chardonnay with equal amounts of style. It will age and fatten out for 10+ years in the cellar if well stored.

Winery says "A classic Clearview Estate Reserve Chardonnay of power & sophistication stylish with power & complexity, mealy with stonefruit, ripe tropical flavours & substantial body drink now for a fruit driven style or cellar until 2028"
