Saint Clair Pioneer Block 3 Sauvignon Blanc
Zingy grapefruit, blackcurrant leaf flavours and a gentle softness that acts as a ruse to its long finish. Rated by our tasting panel as a must try example of this variety. With over 30 years of experience in the Marlborough region, viticultural pioneers Neal and Judy Ibbotson have single-handedly brought to life one of the most exciting brands in this famed region, well worthy of significant attention. Clearly one of the most exhilarating Sauvignon Blancs we've tasted this year, Block 3 takes the variety and region to another level with marked complexity and dimension. Squeaky clean, full and rich, the palate calls out vibrant flavours of passionfruit, peach and crushed herb with mouth-watering acidity and freshness. Limited Stock
Seresin Sauvignon Blanc
Amongst the sea of quality Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that is flooding Australia, Seresin Sauvignon Blanc stands out as having that something extra: perhaps it is the wild yeast ferment; perhaps the partial barrel ferment; or perhaps it is the 5 per cent of Semillon in the blend. Whatever the secret, this wine has body and finesse that raises it above its Marlborough peers.
Frogmore Creek Sparkling
A standout new sparkling from Frogmore with aromas of toasty brioche and delicate citrus. Full and crisp flavours of apples and strawberries linger on the refined acid structure. Matched perfectly to a dozen natural oysters and creamy chicken dishes. Limited stock. 95 Points | Tyson Stelzer's 2017 Australian Sparkling Wine of the Year Under $50.

The soft bouquet offers subtle fragrances of white florals, stone fruits and fresh herbs.

Lovely minerality balances this elegant palate, and together with all the elements, culminates in a satisfying finish. Serve this restrained Sauv Blanc with feta cheese, herb marinated white meat preparations, or shucked oysters.
