2022 Neck Of The Woods, Pinot Gris, Central Otago, NZ (RRP $24.99)

Neck Of The Woods makes authentic wines that harness the weird and wild of Central Otago, staying true to the land with minimal intervention winemaking. The leading winemaker is Jen Parr who has been making wine in the region since 2007, most famously at Valli winery.

Parcels of fruit were hand-picked from a 20 year old vineyard in Gibbston and whole bunches were loaded into the press and the juice gently extracted over a three hour cycle. A combination of stainless steel and neutral oak were used for fermentation and lees contact was encouraged in barrel.

The resulting wine is complexly layered with great ageing potential. Drink now and over the next 5 to 6 years with shellfish, salmon, chicken, pork and quiche.

2020 Kerpen Handpicked Riesling, Mosel, Germany (RRP $22.99) 

Wine making has been the Kerpen family business for 8 generations and almost 250 years. The winery is based in the Mosel, the world's biggest Riesling producing region, where steep slaty vineyards cascade into the Mosel River and the resulting wines are mineral and driven.

This is a gentle wine that is elegant and refreshing with lively acidity, restrained sweetness and zesty citrus flavours. Made with earlier harvested grapes with lower sugar levels, the ferment is stopped slightly early, leaving some natural residual sugar and a lower alcohol content.

Drink now and over the next three years with seafood dishes and goat’s cheese. 

2022 Zaria Rose Malbec, Hawkes Bay, NZ (RRP $25.99) 

This light pale pink rosé is reminiscent of the famous rosés of Provence such as those from Bandol.

Aromatics of bright red cherries, pomegranate and hibiscus flowers leap out of the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant offering a myriad of summer fruit flavours including red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberries.

Drink now and over the next year or so with lighter mediterranean dishes.

2020 Beretta Brognoligo Soave Classico DOC, Garganega, Veneto, Italy (RRP $18.99)

A smart Soave from the Cecilia Berettas single vineyard in Brognoligo - not far from Verona in Italy’s north west. 

It offers all the hallmarks of the Garganega grape with citrus and nut aromatics that give way to a complex palate displaying fresh apricot characters and wonderful length. Rich, broad and textural, Soave is one of Italy's most significant white styles.

Drink now and over the next two years with seafood platters and chicken.

2020 Misha's Limelight Riesling, Central Otago, NZ (RRP $33.99)

Central Otago isn’t just about Pinot - the region is also making excellent acid-driven whites.

This is a fab example of what the region can do with Riesling and offers classic aromatics of lime, citrus and flint with a refreshing lemon acidity on the fruit pure palate, which is perfectly balanced by notes of sweet wild thyme honey.

Limelight Riesling is one of the “Fine Wines of New Zealand” - an exclusive classification sponsored by Air New Zealand to denote the country’s top wines.

Drink now and over the next 3 years with raw, cured and smoked fish, pork dishes and goat’s cheese.

Alpha Domus Beatrix Sparkling Rosé NV, Merlot, Hawke’s Bay (RRP $19.99) 

The story of Alpha Domus began in 1989 when the founding Ham Family purchased 20 hectares of bare land in an area of the Western Heretaunga plains, later to become known as the Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District.

This wine was first created in 2016 as the whimsical brainchild of third generation Beatrix Ham.

Merlot grapes were harvested early at optimal ripeness for sparkling wine and only free run and light press juice was used, ensuring a perfect balance of freshness and weight. A quintessential favourite that can be enjoyed all year round.

Drink now as an aperitif or with tuna and salmon dishes.

Reds

2021 McPherson's XV Pure, Cabernets, McLaren Vale,
Australia
(RRP $18.99)

Andrew McPherson grew up in the world of wine and worked for some top names in Australian wine before setting up his own venture. His aim is to craft characterful, great value wines like this one.

This is a lavishly big, rich Cabernet blend from pristine vineyards growing on sandy loam soils situated near the free flowing Murray River. Rich, full bodied and vibrant, this is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Ruby Cabernet and offers notes of spice and rich black fruits. Perfectly balanced, with a firm, smooth tannin structure, it finishes with lengthy ripe fruits and hints of French oak. Delicious stuff that is drinking now and will age happily for another few years. Pair with meaty stews.

2020 Bodegas Luzón Verde, Monastrell, Jumilla, Spain
(RRP $19.99)

Bodegas Luzón is one of the leading producers of quality wines in Jumilla which is located in south eastern Spain on a high plateau surrounded by mountains. It enjoys a continental climate influenced by the Mediterranean Sea with warm days and cool nights which help the development of ripe flavours without sacrificing the oh so important balancing acidity.

Expect very intense aromas of red ripe fruit and florals on the nose, leading to a fruity and fresh palate that is sumptuous and smooth with sweet ripe tannins, balanced acidity and good persistence. Drink now and over the next two years pairing with grilled meats and game dishes.

2019 Abbey Estate Obsession, Petit Verdot, Hawke’s Bay, NZ
(RRP $17.99)

Petit Verdot’s home is found in Bordeaux where it is used as a “seasoning’ grape to add spice and colour to blends - but here it is the star of the show.

Petit Verdot can make intensely bold, fruity-yet-floral wines that can easily stand on their own, especially in slightly warmer and more consistent climates such as Hawke’s Bay. For the team at Abbey Estate it has become an obsession, and rightly so.

Expect deep red and black fruits, herbs, spice and a bit of grunt courtesy of the iron rich soils of Bridge Pa. Drink now and over the next two years with rich red meat dishes.

Tasting Notes: Crisp, super clean, bold hop aromas. Well balanced with the light malt base  they sit on. Pairs well with switching off and chilling out.

4.7% ABV

Packed full of tropical and citrus flavours, with just a hint of bitterness to round this juicy Hazy IPA off.

5.4% ABV

The Santisima range is a blend of distilled cane sugar (or agricole) and rum distilled and aged from molasses. The rums are aged in ex-bourbon barrels and then hand selected and blended across different ages to create the different styles. The fifteen year old is big and round with flavours and aromas of nuts, stewed fruits and molasses.

We love this wine?s fresh citrusy flavours, full body and surprising structure, held in place by firm, lively acidity. It's an interesting expression of Trebbiano, one of the most planted white grapes in Italy and one that is usually pressed into the service of high volume neutral white wines but this delicious newcomer is anything but that. 

Spoleto is a city in Umbria, surrounded by hills, olive groves and vineyards, dating from the 12th century. 

This wine is made from a bio type of Trebbiano grapes, which are trained to grow up trees; an old Italian growing method. 

Certified organic.

Super smooth, soft Italian red made from Cesanese, a lovely red grape packed with characters of light, bright red fruit and a Beaujolaisesque-like softness. Tart cherry flavours, juicy depth and a long finish from robust acidity all make this wine quintessentially Italian in style but the Beaujolais-like softness is an appealing character here.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label is incomparably rich and smoky, with velvety smooth breaking waves of powerful flavour.

Created from hand-selected casks of some of the rarest and most exceptional whiskies, there is no sensory experience quite like Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Hazelnuts, honey, sherry and oranges tumble in first, before releasing hidden secrets like ginger, kumquats, sandalwood and dark chocolate. A rich honey sweetness emerges, accompanied by hints of pepper and dried fruits, before an impossibly long, lingering, smooth finish of perfectly balanced, soft smoke.

Homage is Trinity Hill?s top red and was first made in 2002 from 100% Syrah grapes grown on the Gimblett Gravels in Hawke?s Bay. It was inspired when its founder, winemaker John Hancock, visited Gerard Jaboulet in Tain l?Hermitage in the northern Rhone Valley, France and met Gerard Jaboulet and his father Louis, who produced the great wine, Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle ? one of the great reds of the first half of the 20th Century. It?s still one of the northern Rhone?s great reds but is not always considered the absolute pinnacle these days, despite its illustrious history and its evocative name ? after a small stone chapel supposedly built as a retreat for a 13th century knight loved the hill of Hermitage above the Rh?ne.

Back in New Zealand, Hancock was so inspired that he returned to the Rhone to work the 1996 harvest at Jaboulet, an experience which cemented his own passion for northern Rhone Syrah styles. This was further cemented when Gerard Jaboulet sent him three clones of Syrah and one of Viognier as a gift from the Hermitage appellation. Gerard passed away in 1997 at the age of 55 but Hancock had those vine cuttings quarantined and propagated so that he was able to plant them in 2002, alongside Trinity Hill Winery?s first Syrah vines, which were planted in 1995 with cuttings from the neighbouring Stonecroft vineyard.

Long story short, the first small production Syrah was produced at Trinity Hill in 1997 and has since grown so that the winery produces three different Syrahs, of which Homage is the king.

This product comes pre-wrapped in a pretty bag with a bow.

REID + REID NATIVE GIN 42% 700ML

The Reid brothers have backgrounds in engineering and winemaking, both of which gave their curious minds something related to work with when they began distilling gin. Reid + Reid gin has all the usual botanicals, coriander, juniper, lemons and more, but it is the addition of distinctly New Zealand botanicals that make it unique. The brothers like to think it's as much a celebration of great gin as a nod to New Zealand's fauna. In this case they've used manuka, kawakawa and horopito. It's a dry, refreshing gin, particularly suited to a long G & T, with plenty of ice and a twist of lemon.

"Experience Whiskey" is a wonderful gift and tasting set for anyone who wants to get to know Jack Daniel's or is a friend of American whiskey. There are three of the most popular bottlings from Jack Daniel's as well as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon in the form of the Woodford Reserve. An ideal gift!

This expression from Tanqueray uses its classic No. Ten gin, but with an additional boost of grapefruit and rosemary! The result is a zingy gin with a good citrus tang and fabulous herbal depth ideal mixed with a good Mediterranean tonic!

Not strictly a Japanese whisky, Togouchi sources grain whiskies from Scotland and Canada and ages them in Japan.

This is a blend from Chugoku Jozo, who mature their whiskies in a tunnel rather than a warehouse. The temperature of the tunnel is always 15 degrees while the temperature of the cellar at the headquarters in Hatsukaichi city is a little higher than that. Nutty, spicy whisky with a lovely butterscotch mouth feel. On the palate it expresses vanilla sweetness and a fine peat iodine, with hazelnuts and chocolate on the finish. Almost feels like a whisky/bourbon hybrid.

43.8% ABV
