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.

"Intensity is the key. The burst of tropical fruit flavour is impressive. It's cool and pure like driven snow, a tickle of lemongrass-like flavour helping it all to extend out through the finish. Value almost goes without saying."

This is an incredible summer white wine six pack, at an unbeatable price. The Sauvignon Blanc Bundle includes two bottles each of Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc, Stoneleigh Wild Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Te Rua Bay Sauvignon Blanc, superb wines to enjoy this summer.

The palate is vibrant and bright, with flavours of ripe passion fruit, gooseberry and lychee. These ripe fruit flavours are balanced with a refreshing lemon crisp acidity.

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.

Dr Forrest and his wife Brigid (also a doctor) use techniques in the vineyard to allow the grapes to obtain maximum flavour, but keep sugar (and therefore alcohol) levels down. No fancy winery or laboratory tricks – just some very clever canopy management and timing as to when they pick. This delicious lower alcohol (9.5%) Rosé melds Pinot Noir with the white grape Arneis to create a delightfully fresh and lively pink, bursting with fresh strawberries, ripe red cherry, and just a hint of aromatic herbs like sage and thyme.

Tropical flavours of lychee, citrus and gooseberry, balanced with crisp acidity on a lingering finish.

A must for refreshment in warmer weather, but delightful aperitifs throughout the year. This excellent collection includes beauties from Margaret River and the Adelaide Hills plus a star from New Zealand’s Marlborough and an impressive Chilean Gold medallist!
