Anna and Jason Flowerday run the Te Whare Ra vineyard in Marlborough according to organic and bio dynamic practices. The fruit is picked and sorted by hand, then processed in a winery especially designed for small-batch wine making. On the nose, this Sauvignon has characters of elderflower and white currant with ripe tropical and citrus fruits. These follow on the palate, which is fine and soft with vibrant, fleshy fruit, balanced by ripe, juicy acidity and lingering minerality.

Bountiful fresh fruit aromas and flavours of passionfruit and grapefruit accompanied by vegetable garden flavours of capsicum, tomato and green beans. This wine is a veritable smorgasbord of tastes

Sauvy blancs can be simply good, wet and chilled summertime refreshers to enjoy on their own without thinking too much about them or to have with natural oysters, simple fish and other seafood Then you have the occasional rare and sophisticated ones, like the Lubiana, which are pure pleasure on their own or can be shown off to advantage against the simplicity of a buttery, tarragon flavoured, roast chicken.

This delightful Mysterious Diggings Pinot Gris features a pale yellow colour with green tinges throughout. The fragrant bouquet offers enticing floral aromas which gives way to a lush and intense palate filled with juicy fruit flavours and subtle spicy notes. These flavours and aromas are balanced by a sharp mineral acidity, altogether leading to a clean, dry and lingering finish. This wonderful Pinot Gris has the potential to be cellared for 3 to 5 years from vintage, tasting great with fresh vegetables, pastas, fish and light salads.

Bob Campbell Master of Wine writes; 'Quite a concentrated wine with a mix of ripe tree fruit/ nectarine and citrus/ lemon flavours. Very pure with a long and linear finish. Steely dry wine that's very food friendly. Offers value at this price.' Why not judge for yourself.
