Gnarly Head (USA) Chardonnay 2022

Big and bold Cali chardonnay!!

Gnarly Head Chardonnay is crafted using grapes from specially selected vineyards in Lodi and Monterey.

This is a succulent, full-bodied wine that explodes with bright citrusy aromas of lemon zest, honeydew melon and attractive toasty oak. Big bold flavours of citrus and apple with a touch of vanilla, wonderfully complemented by creamy mouthfeel, making it so easy to enjoy.

Try this with a fish pie or carbonara.

Graham Norton's (New Zealand) 2024 Sauvignon Blanc

The Graham Norton Sauvignon Blanc is intense, refreshing and delicious on its own or with food. It has a gorgeous fresh and aromatic nose with strong scents of nashi pear, fresh cut apple and papaya. The palate instantly appeals with tropical fruit flavours dominating and a lively, balanced acidity that compliments the layers of ripe pineapple and citrus perfectly. It’s sunshine in a glass!

Stunningly well made bargain Sav from the Wairau Valley.

Grove Mill Sauvignon Blanc is bright pale straw in colour with a light green hue. A bouquet of intense and lifted tropical fruits and a very juicy and vibrant palate makes for a punchy and contemporary style of Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

Perfect with fresh oysters.

Hunters (Marlborough) 2023 Gewurztraminer

93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS Shout Summer World of Wine

Winery note
"This is a single vineyard wine made with fruit from our Rapaura Road vineyard, next to the winery. The vines were planted in 1995 and while the planting plan is long since lost, we believe there are up to seven different clones and rootstock combinations in the vineyard. The fruit was machine harvested in two passes. The picks were fermented separately and then blended back together. The early pick lends acidity to the wine and a strong ginger flavour. The later pick has more classic Gewurztraminer characters – lychee and lemongrass."

Hunters (Marlborough) 2023 Pinot Gris

90 Points – Cameron Douglas MS, Summer of Wine, September 2022

Fruit for this wine was sourced from the Rapaura sub-region of Marlborough. The grapes were harvested at different maturity levels to add complexity of the finished wine.

2022 Pinot Gris shows pear and tropical fruit characters on the nose. The elegant palate has floral undertones with sweet nectarine fruit enhanced by some citrus undertones. The wine has wonderful depth and complexity along with an off dry finish. This is a fragrant Pinot Gris that will age well over the next 5 years

This style is perfect as an aperitif or to complement your favourite white meat, seafood and pasta dishes.

Isabel Estate (Marlborough) 2023 Sauvignon Blanc

91 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
"Concentrated and pure, with loads of flavour and structure" Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The epitome of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc but benefiting from the Isasbel Estate’s old vines and the soils on the south-western corner of the estate. Ascends with lush aromatics of fresh tropical green fruit, grapefruit and gooseberry, balanced by a refreshing structural flinty minerality and creamy textured finish. Drinks beautifully young but also develops intriguing characters with age.

This vibrant and award-winning Chardonnay style is 100% wild fermented in a mix of puncheons and barriques before it spends a year in barrel undergoing malolactic fermentation and extended time on lees. The result is a finely poised wine of power, complexity and texture brimming with notes of brioche, citrus melon, fig and vanilla notes and a sublime finish.

"Gorgeously aromatic and inviting, the bouquet shows nectarine, green rockmelon, lime peel and white floral aromas, followed by a delightfully juicy palate offering bright fruit intensity with fine texture and refreshing acidity, offering terrific drinking." Sam Kim
94 Points - Cameron Douglas MS
"A very youthful and pungent bouquet filled with aromas of pink grapefruit, apple, lemon and tropical fruits. A layer of freshly sliced bell-pepper and crushed basil adds depth and complexity. Equally pungent and youthful as the wine touches the palate with a saline acid line, crunchy fresh citrus textures and flavours that mirror the bouquet. Gooseberry and apple, lemon and tropical fruits. Delicious and new a wine that will age well, will be perfect with freshly steamed mussels or kina. Best drinking from 2024 through 2029" Cam Douglas

Fragrant notes of elderflower, guava and mint jump out of the glass, followed by hints of oregano and thyme layered with passionfruit and citrus. This in-your-face drop captures the essence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Concentrated citrusy notes of lime zest and tropical guava combine with a lick of wet stones. The palate is dry and gives way to a lip-smacking, mouth-watering finish.

This wine explodes on the nose with a fruit salad of peach, nectarine, melon and mandarin combining with honey, nougat and floral notes for an intense and inviting array of aromas. The palate is elegant, dry and concentrated with ripe, tropical, citrus and stone fruit flavours and delicious textural creaminess from the wild fermentation. It is a charming mouthful, concluding in a long, smooth finish.

Kim Crawford (Hawke's Bay) 2024 Chardonnay

Gold Medal - Melbourne International Wine Competition 2023

Lifted aromas of citrus and stone fruit with notes of tropical fruit and pineapple. An approachable and full-bodied Chardonnay that shows great length and persistence. Medium weight with a creamy texture and hints of butterscotch and lemon meringue pie.

Delicious paired with Camembert cheese, pan-seared salmon, or other white meat dishes.

Kim Crawford (Hawke's Bay) 2025 Pinot Gris

New Zealand’s pristine landscape, diverse soil types, and maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters create an ideal environment for growing wine grapes. The secret to Kim Crawford’s success is serious attention to detail in the vineyards and winery, with a special focus on sustainable practices, individual vineyard block harvesting, and small lot fermentation.

Wonderfully lifted tree fruit aromatics of ripe pear with floral notes and a touch of clove. The palate is ripe and rich with a good oily texture. The wine is well-balanced with a fresh acidity and a relatively crisp finish.

An ideal wine by itself or paired with antipasto, fresh seafood, or Southeast Asian cuisine.

91 Points - James Suckling jamessuckling.com (2020 vintage)

Crafted by the expert hands of the Donaldson family at the Iconic Pegasus Bay winery in Waipara.

Commercial description
"Upon release its colour is pale gold. Floral and spiced pear aromas tease the nose, followed by nuances of juicy ripe nectarine, red apple, rock melon, and a hint of perfume. The palate is layered and rich, integrated with bright acidity and fine phenolics. A crisp and zippy mouthfeel is complimented by subtle sweetness, giving balance, and setting the platform for a long, textured finish"

Main Divide (Waipara) 2024 Riesling

Winery note
"Upon release it has a bright lemon hue. A rousing fusion of citrus, floral and flinty aromas tantalise the nose. Zesty notes of grapefruit, lime peel, and quince are melded with jasmine and orange blossom, underpinned with a steely mineral core. The mouthfeel is vibrant and energised, showcasing both richness and an elegant structure. Subtle sweetness is contrasted with zippy acidity that creates a pleasing tension, paving the way for a prolonged and tangy finish. grapes were picked in stages during late March and early April. Some parcels were intentionally left to hang until later so they could be harvested with a portion of noble botrytis. The free run juice was then slowly fermented at cool temperatures to help the wine retain its vibrant fruit characters and varietal purity. During this time daily tasting was undertaken to assess levels of acidity, alcohol and residual sweetness, with the fermentation being stopped once the right balance was achieved. Winemaking intervention was intentionally kept to a minimum to allow the vintage, variety, and vineyard to express itself harmoniously. At all stages, from fermentation to bottling, the wine was handled very carefully to help it retain a little of its naturally dissolved carbon dioxide. This may result in a small amount of spritzig when first poured, accentuating the freshness and liveliness of the wine."
