This stunning wine is named after the landmark Split Apple Rock in Abel Tasman National Park, where Hermann Seifried built a winery in 1973 with the help of his local church. He'd only arrived in New Zealand three years earlier from Austria, via Germany (where he studied winemaking) and South Africa. He married Kiwi lass Agnes Wilkins, and two years later they realised their shared dream of growing grapes. 1976 was their maiden vintage and more than 30 years on the Seifrieds are still going strong and racking up a host of awards. Gooseberry fresh Split Rock slips down a treat on its own and partners dishes such as spicy prawns, grilled chicken or creamy pasta.

Take a trip to the Adelaide Hills and sip the newest vintage of Avera. This stunning, refreshing single vineyard Sauvignon simply leaps from the glass. Expect tropical tones of guava, pineapple and lime juice. The wine is ripe, yet maintains a tight structure that will leave your mouth watering. A dazzling match with fresh seafood and herbs.

Sunday Bay is a phenomenon. Kiwi Sauvignon is by far our most popular style, and our range is full of standout examples. So it’s a huge statement that Sunday Bay, year after year, is the one our customers rate highest and re-order most. It's made by an award-winning family winery, who were some of the first pioneers of the Marlborough region. Phil and Chris Rose founded the estate back in 1978, now their five children have joined them, so it's very much a family affair. Their Sunday Bay is a classic Sauvignon. Exuberant grapefruit and grassy nettle character with a bright citrus zip; all the usual Marlborough pizzazz and more. It’s very moreish solo or makes the perfect partner to all sorts of seafood, spicy stir-fry or Thai fish cakes.

“Whoa! This is one zesty, super charged Sav... Pristine Sauvignon fruit to the fore in gooseberry, green bean, grapefruit and that tell-tale lingering scent of freshly cut grass... A good example of what the Great Southern can bring to the grape... Bright, unadorned and delish.” says Jeni Port, WinePilot. Mike Bennie in The Halliday Wine Companion agrees, finding it"Refreshing, bright, some lively, chalky textural nuances – this does a good job with the variety, lending complexity to high refreshment factor. 92pts, Great Value”.

Don't miss this Great Value "seriosly good" (Wine Orbit) Sauvignon with scores of 95 and 92pts. Sam Kim Wine Orbit loves its "...concentrated palate offering pristine fruit flavours with fine texture and vibrant acidity, finishing impressively long and exuberant." “Passionfruit, winter melon and gooseberry notes at the fore, with garden rose and honeysuckle florals emulating morning walks in spring. This sees some oak influence, and it marries harmoniously with fruit. A pretty wine with a creamy, velvety mouthfeel. 92pts. Great Value” (Katrina Butler, The Halliday Wine Companion).

“Punchy, fragrant and full-flavoured with gorgeous acid tension and a whisper of spice. High-toned passionfruit and green mango flavours with lingering pink grapefruit notes on the close. The wine has excellent weight and texture and will win people over with its sheer deliciousness.95pts, Great Value” (Toni Paterson, The Halliday Wine Companion). Another triumph for Hungerford Hill's Bryan Currie.The estate situated in the Hunter Valley also uses fruit from cool climate regions, Hilltops and Tumbarumba. "It’s taken a long time to get my head around Tumbarumba wine – it’s a truly unique place" says Bryan. This Sauvignon proves he's got his head brilliantly around the potential of the region.
