Stones & Bones Sauvignon Blanc
For fans of elegant pinks, there’s one style that trumps all others – Provençal rosé. As the only wine region to specialise in rosé production, Provence not only offers “a wine for almost any occasion, but also guarantees quality” says the Independent. And this cooperative delivers just that, with value. As one of the oldest cellars in the region, it has been crafting fine rosé since 1912. Owned by a small group of growers, its modest size ensures meticulous care in both vineyard and cellar. Grenache and Cinsault make up a large portion of this pink and were harvested from the high-altitude, limestone slopes of Sainte-Baume. Full of fresh berry flavour with a crisp mineral edge and a dry finish – it's great solo and versatile with food.
Beklyn Currency Creek Sauvignon Blanc
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).

Angaston Road Growers Richings Vineyard Coonawarra Sauvignon Blanc
The Angaston Road Growers range is all about honouring the often unsung heroes of the wine world, the growers. It is their intimate knowledge of the local terroir, the changes of season, and the varietals they tend to that ensure the special parcels of fruit that make it to the winery are in tip-top form to make quality wines like this stunning Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is made possible thanks to Rae Clark, a proud vigneron who has been working in the wine industry for around 30 years. She is a passionate advocate for improving biodiversity through sustainable vineyard practices in her home region of Coonawarra. And when it came to finding the best selection of Sauvignon Blanc for this new wine, the winemakers knew instantly to reach out to Rae. Aromas of passionfruit, pineapple and other tropical delights leap from the glass, backed up by a palate of spritely guava and gooseberry with a lively citrus finish.
¡Hola! Mediterráneo Orange Spritz (in gift bag)
When Belgian entrepreneurs Christopher Heirwegh and Christel Weemaes moved to Barcelona over a decade ago, they had one simple dream: to grow, harvest and bottle the best cava in the world! Having achieved that, they’ve added a few more great sparklers to their range and now created the fabulous Hola Spritz in its striking bottle. The grapes may be Chardonnay and Macabeo, like a cava, but carefully blended with citrus fruits and steeped with local mountain herbs, it’s more reminiscent of famous Aperol, conveniently with the fizz already added. At 8.5% alc and with a lovely kick of orange, it’s a refreshing aperitivo por excelencia. Crisp, bright with classic bitter-sweetness, it’s ideal served with a twist of orange. Chill and sip away.
