Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc
Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc is a meticulously made wine with grapes selected for intensity and concentration. The bouquet shows passionfruit and white peach aromas and the palate has ripe fruit flavours with mineral notes. Always one of our favourites.
Saint Clair Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
Astrolabe Marlborough Pinot Gris
Grown in the Waihopai and Awatere Valleys. The Gris has aromas of white fleshed stonefruit and fresh pear, with a little vanilla pod, cardamom and citrus zest. The palate is pure, easy-drinking wine with a fine minerality and delicacy of structure. Stonefruit and pear flavours dominate. Another beaut from Astrolabe..
Ant Moore A+ Pinot Gris
This gorgeous Pinot Gris has jasmine golden peach and poached pear on the nose. With fig, pear, and spice on the palate, it boasts a sensuous texture, great length and dry finish.
Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Gris
Dog Point Chardonnay
Dog Point from Marlborough in New Zealand have quickly established themselves as quality Marlborough producers with their range of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. This Chardonnay has lovely texture due to lees stirring and balanced oak influence. Hints of citrus still remain to produce a Chardonnay of versatility.
Te Rua Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Te Rua Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant example of Marlborough at its best, delivering a delicate blend of unique fruit flavours paired with distinctive characteristics that only the region can offer. Located along on of the many bays at the top of New Zealand's South Island, Tea Rua's proximity to the ocean provides a unique climate for growing such incredible Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Expect subtle gooseberry, lemon-grass and tropical fruits backed by a clean, crisp finish. Fantastic!
Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc
Stoneleigh Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
A vibrant and lively wine, it's a great choice when looking for a Marlborough white. It has flavours of ripe passionfruit that go perfectly alongside a white meat or seafood dish, or on its own on a sunny day.
Greywacke Pinot Gris
An exotic Middle-Eastern mélange of poached quinces, sticky dates and tree-ripened figs, laced with vanilla bean, cardamom and hints of black licorice. This is a ripe, opulent expression of the pinot gris grape in a voluptuous off-dry style that has considerable concentration and a long, luscious finish. The three clones were hand-picked separately at high ripeness levels and whole-bunch pressed using very low maceration press cycles. The resulting juice was cold settled, then racked to fermentation vessels. Most of the juice went through a natural indigenous yeast fermentation in old French oak barriques and the balance was fermented in stainless steel tanks using cultured yeast. Towards the end of fermentation all the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks where the fermentations were stopped, retaining 10 g/l residual sugar. The wine then spent a year on yeast lees (seven months in old barrels and the remaining time in stainless steel tanks) prior to blending and bottling. Kevin Judd is one of Marlboroughs pioneer winemakers whose career is intrinsically linked with the global profile of New Zealand wine. Kevin was born in England and grew up in Australia, where he studied winemaking at Roseworthy College and first made wine at Reynella in South Australia. He moved to New Zealand in 1983 and joined Selaks Wines. Subsequently, he became the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay, a pivotal role during which he directed the companys first 25 vintages. In 2009 he established his own label, Greywacke, named after New Zealands prolific bedrock. The Name: New Zealand does not have a designated national rock, but if one was ever chosen it would have to be greywacke (pron: grey-wacky). This drab grey stone is found everywhere in New Zealand on the mountains, in the rivers, on the beaches. It consists of layers of hard, muddy grey sandstone alternating with thinner layers of darker mudstone (argillite). Technically the term greywacke refers to the sandstone (wacke is a German name for a type of sandstone), but it is also used as a general term for the entire rock.
