Flor de San Martín Garnacha Blanca
Spain’s Navarra is full of surprises, producing styles from traditional and oaky to the most modern and fresh. Flor de San Martín is certainly in the latter camp, a brilliantly zippy fresh white made only from grapes grown in high altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Little rain and these dizzy heights mean lovely intensity of crisp fruit and lifted herbal aromas – flavours that are unique to the region. This white will really get the taste buds tingling! It’s from winemaker Gonzalo Zelayeta, who works his magic at the modern San Martín de Unx winery, founded back in 1914. From hand-picked (impossible with machines) grapes and cool fermented, this is a refreshing glassful. Tops with seafood, salads and lighter dishes.
Berri Estates Fresh Dry White
With slightly fuller fruit flavours than its crisp companion, there is plenty of ripe melon and passionfruit flavours here.
Hot Seat Sauvignon Blanc
A magic Sauvignon Blanc from Nelson that's hard to resist! Filled with dazzling citrus and passionfruit flavours on a bright, tangy, zesty, zingy palate...chill it down, bring on the seafood and enjoy!
Plus & Minus Zero Alcohol Pinot Grigio
On the nose it’s varietal and has aromas of pear, apple and citrus with a slight hint of floral characters. The palate is a burst of citrus underpinned by balanced sweetness and acidity. Try it chilled with a variety of seafood.
Bay of Shoals Wines Riesling
Fresh and lively with notes of Key lime and lemon blossom, complementing a delicate , yet zesty, citrus palate with hints of guava leading to a clean linear finish.
Riposte The Scimitar Clare Valley Riesling
Slices of citrus and floral notes abound on the nose of the 2019 Scimitar Single Vineyard Clare Valley Riesling complimenting a palate of lingering fresh lime and lemon flavours and finely balanced acid.
Tussock Jumper Sauvignon Blanc
La Promesse Loire Sauvignon Blanc
The first whiff of this restrained Sauvignon Blanc indicates a departure from the hugely aromatic styles of Marlborough. It has a delicate floral nose with an inkling of Indian spice while the fruit is more stone-fruit than tropical. The palate is elegant, texturally soft with a mouthfeel of freshness and breadth. The cool climate of the Loire produces wines with distinctive freshness, a lean acidity and a spicy or steely spine.
Tussock Jumper Pinot Grigio
Created by wine specialists from eleven different countries, this innovative brand aims to bring together the worlds best drops under a single, distinctive, quality mark - the woolly red sweater of Tussock Jumper. A beautiful Pinot Grigio from Italy. Full of apple and pineapple aromas, this light bodied white wine is pleasantly soft with a long finish.
Earthworks Eden Valley Riesling
This may be the best-value single vine wine in the country. The cooler climate wine is energetic and precise, rippling with zesty citrus and a bit of blossom, a dusting of talc and sprinkling of lemon thyme. It is a textbook Eden Valley Riesling.
