An exceptional value Chardonnay!

The Goldwater Marlborough Chardonnay is a bright and fresh wine that captures the clarity of Marlborough in a bottle.  The elegance of the fruit on the vine led to a balanced, rounded and satisfying wine.  It will compliment chicken, seafood and pasta dishes beautifully or enjoy a glass or two on its own.

VIN ALTO CLASSIC WHITE PORT STYLE 375mL

  

CLEVEDON HILLS LEIGHTONS PORT STYLE 750mL

  

By Leighton Smith!

A rich port with a harmonious blend of grape varieties grown at Clevedon Hills Estate & Vin Alto.  After ageing for many years this has been my favourite blend which has made this into a unique port.  Can be consumed now but it will still improve over the years to come.  Enjoy with mature cheese or savour with friends after your meal.

MARTINBOROUGH TE TERA PINOT NOIR 2008

  La Vino Rated

A succulent and complex Pinot Noir showing smouldering savoury and gamey character. Layers of rich dark plum and cherry, heady spice and perfumed floral notes abound. The finely concentrated palate shows suppleness and complexity followed with a lengthy smooth finish, traditional of Martinborough Pinot Noir.

VAVASOUR THE PASS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2008

  Staff Pick!

From Vavasour comes the perfect quaffer for summer.  In this wine you'll find all the qualities that people have come to expect from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.  This wine is savoury and fresh, with typical Sav gooseberry characters and because its from the Awatere valley the fruit characters are more refined.  This wine is definately on the same level as the Vavasour flagship Sauvignon Blanc.
