Congratulations also to Sam Bain from Constellation Brands who came second and George Read More October 7, 2020 On Giants Shoulders Martinborough Chardonnay 2018 $40 Hands up if you just feel like sipping on a slippery, softly-styled, elegant-as-all-getout chardonnay that doesn t leave you scraping the sawdust and butterscotch out of your mouth after every sip? This 2018 vintage from Braden and Gabrielle Crosby s tiny, non-irrigated vineyard in Martinborough is wild-fermented, supremely smooth, styled Read More October 7, 2020 Coxhead Creek Matakana Verdelho 2020 $25 I love the lifted apple and peach aromatics on this little lovely from Michael Lorimer s Matakana vineyard, and I love even more the fact that it s Verdelho! Yay! Verdelho is a VERY rare grape on our shores, which is a shame because it absolutely roars when planted in the Read More October 5, 2020 Coxhead Creek Matakana Rosé 2020 $25 How gorgeously pretty is this wine! You re looking at it right? So perfectly pale, this rosé is made from cabernet franc grown by Michael Lorimer. Cabernet Franc classically adds fullness, volume, and delicately sweet red fruit notes to any wine, so when it s crafted into a rosé, it s a Read More October 5, 2020 Yealands Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020 $14.99 Prepare for a hit of passionfruit, lemon verbena, crushed basil and white pepper up your passages as soon as the first glass is poured.  Crisp, ultra zesty, lemon and lime notes leap out and wash across the palate. It s a citrus-forward, nicely balanced, refreshing and juicy wine that ll wow Read More October 5, 2020 Yealands Reserve Awatere Valley Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020 $18.99 Marlborough s Awatere Valley is famous for turning out sauvignon blanc saturated with high-toned florals, intense minerality, lemongrassy goodness and buckets of green herbs on the nose and palate.  This wine is swollen with sensationally sweaty characters, tomato stalk zinginess and a whole potager garden of herbaceousness.  Read More October 5, 2020 Pegasus Bay Vergence White MK1 NV $27 I love that on the back label they ve stated Wine made under this label will first and foremost be delicious and lo, it doth occurreth. This multi-vintage thing of beauty is mostly made of old vine Semillon, blended with Muscat, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay and it s Read More October 5, 2020 Whitehaven Marlborough Pinot Noir 2018 $35 Whenever the folk at Whitehaven release a new vintage pinot noir I m all over it like an Augustine kimono. Handpicked fruit from a blend of Southern Valley s and Awatere Valley vineyards has been put to excellent use in a pinot noir oozing cherry and raspberry and lithe, leather-licked layers Read More October 2, 2020 Flaxmore Nelson Pinot Noir 2018 $27 Lightly coloured but bright and showing slighty dusty, dried herb notes on the nose which merge with cola and black tea as they lean into the palate. The acidity is upfront and fresh yet the finish has a meaty, savoury character to it. Lightly styled and suited to short Read More October 2, 2020 Flaxmore Nelson Rosé 2019 $19.99 Wow! Some more commercial, supermarket-style pinot noir rosés are overly fruity, sweet and lack any sort of tension and tautness. Not this one however.  With a Provençal-like pluckiness, deliciously dry textures and a creaming-soda complexity on the finish. There s a whiff of wild strawberry and a whomp of quartzy minerality Read More October 2, 2020 Flaxmore Nelson Pinot Gris 2019 $22 Stuart and Patricia Anderson craft pinot gris from the French Alsace clone 457 (sounds superflash right?) grown in their Moutere Hills vineyard. Most kiwi pinot gris comes from highly floral German clones, while this French clone creates a stylish, spicy, flavour spectrum studded with softly grainy textures and a Read More October 1, 2020 Rock Ferry Trig Hill Central Otago Riesling 2016 $33 This organic riesling absolutely roars with baked apple, crisp lime and loads of quartzy minerality. The acidity is pinging on the palate, there s a tonne of tangelo and mandarin magic and loads of green apple characters crash through onto the finish as well. It s a long-term Read MoreThirsty Work is a television show that unearths some of the personalities behind New Zealand’s successful and innovative Wine and Beverage Industry.
