Pyramid Valley Vineyards Springs Chardonnay
Burn Cottage Vineyard Gruner Veltliner/Riesling
Burn Cottage is best known for its Pinot Noir, but this Riesling Grüner Veltliner blend is one of Central Otago’s quiet success stories. The fruit is sourced from the Sauvage Vineyard in Bannockburn, which was planted in 2005. The site’s schist soils and cool climate allow both varieties to retain definition and drive while achieving full phenolic ripeness. Winemaking is a low-intervention process: the grapes are pressed and fermented with indigenous yeast in stainless steel and seasoned oak. The result is a layered, textural wine that balances Riesling’s precision with Grüner’s flesh and spice. Expect notes of citrus peel, white flowers, and stone fruit on the nose, with a palate that carries through those characters, complemented by mineral depth and a clean, dry finish. This is a wine that evolves well over several years and pairs equally well with food or as an aperitif. A small-production release that quietly broadens the picture of what Central Otago can do beyond Pinot Noir.

Chateau Angelus Blanc du Milieu
Domaine Guilhem & J Hugues Goisot La Ronce Saint-Bris Sauvignon Blanc
“A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris, the 2019 Saint-Bris La Ronce is very pure on the nose, featuring apple blossom, frangipane, white tea and a touch of spice. The poised palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and impressive depth. Quite saline on the finish. Give this another 12 months in bottle.” 92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
