  Alain Graillot Crozes Hermitage Rouge 2004 NZD $39.95 NZD $36.95 Out of Stock
  Rhone Valley
  152178
  For anyone out there that loves excellent Syrah, look no further! This is in a league of its own. Out of all the producers that we exclusively import, Alain Graillot has to be one of the greatest innovators not just in the Cotes du Rhone but also in all of France, he is almost entirely responsible for revolutionising Crozes Hermitage as an appellation. The wine is made from 100% Syrah from very low yielding vines averaging 30 years old. The viticulture is quite rustic and artisan therefore allowing the wine to express its true terroir characteristics. On appearance it has a very deep almost black with hints of ruby colour with an array of dry herbs, black olive and roasted red pepper. On the palate it is incredibly big and juicy almost chunky with notes of tarragon and tapenade. The finish is persistent and long emphasizing cracked black pepper corns with hints of leather yet remaining clean with great purity. Drinking at its best between 2007-2011.

  Westend 3 Bridges Durif 2007 NZD $28.95 NZD $26.95
  Riverina
  11583
  Durif is a fairly new and exciting grape variety being grown in Australia and does not come with the massive profile of its popular counterpart Shiraz. It is believed this particular grape variety may have originated in the Cote du Rhone region in the South of France, but unproven theories suggest it managed to find its way naturally to California where it has achieved great critical and commercial success. Today the variety is grown in Western Australia, Hunter Valley and Barossa. It has a similar colour to Shiraz but is even more concentrated and richer. The wine has a thick, pure charcoal black colour with hugely intense peppery savoury and sweet/sour characteristics. Very frontal, it grabs you and doesn't let go. If you love the heaviest of Shirazes you will adore this spectacular new grape variety. You can drink this with hearty dishes and BBQ steaks even though part of the wine has undergone carbonic maceration creating soft and velvety tannins. Approachable now or will keep 4-5 years.

  Discovery Point Sauvignon Blanc 2010 NZD $22.95 NZD $19.95
  Marlborough
  153100
  A very welcome departure from the grassy, over-the-top and tutti fruity Sauvignon Blanc that pretty much describes most of the commercial examples widely available. Discovery Point is pretty much aligned with the great Sauvignon Blanc of the Loire Valley in France i.e. Pouilly Fume and Sancerre. This is a Sauvignon Blanc which is low cropped, no fining and given extra lees contact, the result is elegance, beautiful texture, dry with concentration and depth, in essence what great Sauvignon Blanc should be. This is no show pony with 8/9 grams residual sugar that hopes to impress and hopefully get some sort of a medal in some Mickey Mouse wine show. Drinking at its best now, have it with shellfish.
