Weave (Sth Australia) 2022 Premium Chardonnay

Produced by the team that makes Martin's Pick Up. This delicious premium chardonnay is pale straw with green hues. Rich tropical fruit such as paw paw and mango, blossom notes combine with sweet spice. The wine has a savoury edge with flinty notes from the wild ferment. The flavours from the nose are balanced by the creamy mid palate and tight acid finish. A veritable fruit salad of flavours that linger well after consumption.

Good late winter and early spring rainfall replenished the soils. A mild, wet spring kept moisture levels up to the growing vines. Summer and autumn were mild and dry which was ideal for ripening the grapes and allowed us to harvest at the perfect ripeness.

Whitehaven (Marlborough) 2022 Chardonnay

Winery description

"Our Chardonnay is sourced from three different vineyards and four different clones - predominantly Mendoza (63%) with the balance spread across clones 95,15 and 1066. The fruit was hand-picked and immediately whole bunch pressed.  The heavy pressings were kept separate to minimise harsh phenolics.  The juice was lightly settled before being racked and inoculated for fermentation.  Halfway through fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak of which 25% was new, and predominantly in 500L puncheon format. Full malolactic fermentation was carried out and the wine was then aged in oak on fine lees for 10 months. Elegant and vibrant with a weighty, dense palate. Precise flavours of ripe white peach and citrus are balanced with savoury, spicy oak influence and a firm mineral texture, leaving a salivating finish. Our Chardonnay is a food-friendly wine. A perfect match for Mediterranean food, pork, chicken and creamy mushroom pasta."

Whitehaven (Marlborough) 2023 Greg Sauvignon Blanc

92 Points - James Suckling
Gold Medal - Mundus Vini Spring Tasting
94 Points - Cam Douglas MS

Concentrated, textural sauvignon blanc with guava, citrus, grapefruit, green capsicum, tomato leaf and a suggestion of struck flint flavour. A complex, satisfying wine that deserves its flagship status. 

Classic gooseberry, currant and grapefruit, with complexing wet rock and nettle notes, typical of the Awatere Valley sub-region.

This is a medium-bodied wine with bright, fresh acidity balancing the vibrant gooseberry and pure mineral flavours.  These persist on the lengthy, crisp finish.

 Summer salads, poultry and shellfish - particularly suited to oysters or green shell mussels - as well as lobster and white fish. Our ‘Greg’ Sauvignon Blanc is also the perfect aperitif.

5 Stars - Sam Kim

Fragrant notes of Beurre Bosc pear, red apple, honeysuckle with a hint of clove and aniseed are displayed on the nose.

Palate: Ripe pear and apple flavours, with hints of savoury yeast lees notes and a thread of minerality on the palate. Dry to taste, this wine has gentle acidity and supportive, fine-textural tannins which promotes a long, clean finish to this wine.

Made to be enjoyed with food. We recommend dishes featuring richer seafoods, mushrooms, light game and poultry.

Serve: Lightly chilled.
