Palliser Estate Riesling
42 Degrees South Sauvignon Blanc
This premium cool climate Sauvignon Blanc from the Coal River Valley in Tasmania displays fresh aromas of citrus and tropical fruit, soft and creamy with delicate flavours.
Te Mata Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes used to craft this wine were harvested from lush vineyards, chilled and gently pressed, and cold-settled prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resultant wine shows a pale gold hue, giving off aromas of guava, lime blossom, passion fruit and floral notes from its luscious bouquet. The complex and intriguing palate is brimming with grape jelly, grapefruit, fresh lime and mineral nuances, leading to a lengthy and refreshing finale. The Sauvignon Blanc is ready for immediate consumption, with a cellaring potential of about 2 years. Pair it up with seafood, salads or lightly spiced Asian cuisine, best served chilled.
Nautilus Estate Sauvignon Blanc
The 2018 Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc displays intense lifted aromas of citrus peel, blackcurrant buds and fresh herbs. The palate introduces a delightful lime/citrus based mouth-watering intensity and finishes with a strong textural component. The fruit was machine harvested at night or in the cool of the morning, gently crushed and pressed then fermented with a variety of aromatic yeast strains in stainless steel tanks - the sole aim being to reflect and preserve the flavours and aromas grown in the vineyard. 10% of the juice fermentations were started with a non-saccharomyces yeast and 3% of the blend was barrel fermented. After fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with the lees for five months. This classic technique enhances creaminess and integrates flavours.
Escarpment Pinot Noir
Martinborough is considered by many as the home of Pinot Noir - not only in New Zealand but the 'New World' in general. It is hard to argue when wines like this are produced. Pinot Noir superstar, Larry McKenna, hand-crafts a wine that is overflowing with perfumed black, red and green fruit flavours that are all in harmony with the mid-weighted palate. Textured oak and fine-grained tannin give a nod to the fact that this wine will age gracefully for a decade or more. A stunning benchmark.
Freycinet Wineglass Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Exuberant and lively wine with vibrant gooseberries, passionfruit and various other tropical fruits abounding. Similar flavours run through an elegant, harmonious, refreshing and subtly complex, crisp palate. It’s thoroughly enjoyable as a young wine for any occasion, but is also suitable for short term cellaring.
Saint Clair Origin Sauvignon Blanc
Te Kairanga John Martin Pinot Noir
A concentrated, full bodied Pinot Noir that exsudes spices, ripe dark cherries and plums then rounds of with a silky and fragrant finish.
Umamu Estate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Umamu Estate only releases their wines when theyve had time to develop in the bottle and this Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is drinking beautifully now. In the glass: Beautifully vibrant bright lemon with a still-youthful green tint. On the nose: Lifted mix of toast and honey development. On the palate: Rich and beautifully developed with a lovely warm core of buttered toast, preserved lemon and lemon curd in a terrifically textured, layered and complex wine. So remarkably fresh and complex.
Paracombe Sauvignon Blanc
