Family owned Villa Maria Estate has been rated as New Zealands

Josef Chromy Chardonnay is a classic cool climate style, showing notes of melon and granny smith apple, some mid palate creamy richness and taut linear acidity. Fruit is sourced from Josef Chromys estate vineyards in Relbia in Northern Tasmania. The Chardonnay is gently pressed to stainless steel for a cool ferment with full solids retained for fermentation to give richness and texture.

Juicy and vibrant in flavour yet pale in colour, this wine displays fresh herbal notes and citrus fruits.

John Quarisa, aka Johnny Q, is a terrific winemaker, creating wines that, like him, can be lively and highly charged. In his Caravan wine series, he likes to think of a grape that changes in style as it travels. So that here, Sauvignon Blanc grown in his Riverina vineyards produces a wine still with loads of grassy fresh zip, but along the way, has developed more tropical fruit flavours too. That is peach, pineapple and passionfruit! He insists on night harvested grapes to ensure lots of bright fresh flavours and cool ferments them for the same reason. This wine previously won a Gold medal and we think the 2021 vintage is tasting just as good – it's a fridge-door-must! Chill down and enjoy as a glass on its own or with spicy Thai dishes.

Enjoy a Tassie organic Riesling with lovely intensity of flavour with a seam of minerality, from 25-year-old vines planted in deep sandy granite soils. It comes from Tamar Valley's Small Wonder winery. Small Wonder came into being in 2020 on the site of the old Goaty Hill winery in the Tamar Valley. Viticulturalist Wayne Nunn and consultant Dylan Grigg oversaw the transformation to Organic certification in 2022, and the building of a state-of-the-art winery in 2024. Today winemaker Ockie Myburgh is at the helm.

Refresh yourself with a beautifully breezy, Tassie organic Sauvignon alive with tang and energy, from Tamar Valley's Small Wonder winery, set up in 2020, and certified organic in 2022. This is fruit-forward and very fresh, with appealing gooseberry flavours and herbal nuances with a note of ginger.

These vines struggle on the granite soils and have meagre yields but produce something extraordinary at this site.
