GIESEN ESTATE MARLBOROUGH SAUVIGNON BLANC 2017
Fruit for the 2017 Estate Sauvignon Blanc came from the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Harvest stretched over three weeks from 22 March to maximise sugar ripeness. With its higher elevation, the Awatere Valley is slightly cooler, drier and windier meaning fruit from here adds fullness, richness and dry herb notes.
SACRED HILL HELMSMAN 2015
Deeply coloured appearance. The aroma is beautifully perfumed and fragrant with cassis, ripe blackcurrant, white truffle and dark chocolate. The palate has ripe, black fruits, black olives with the sweetness of the Cabernet Franc showing through. Classically structured, this is a tightly bound, elegant yet powerful red wine with tremendous power on the finish.
ALLAN SCOTT GENERATIONS GEWÜRZTRAMINER
Allan Scott’s take on the often misunderstood Gewürztraminer is set to change perceptions and prove that New Zealand-produced Gewürz is a wine of top international quality.
The ultimate match for spicy Asian food, this wine can also be enjoyed with the exotic flavours of Vietnamese dumplings and sweet Middle Eastern delicacies such as Baklava or rice pudding thanks to its softer and more delicate finish on the nose – allowing its gorgeous candied fig and lightly dusted Turkish delight flavours to shine through.
