  • Old Vine Chardonnay 2010 NZD $13.95 NZD $12.95
    This is one of those super deals that do not come round that often but when they do, you should take it! Selected from old vines, this Chardonnay delivers an array of butterscotch, freshly baked bread but yet maintaining a lovely freshness and fruit flavours. Frankly you would expect to pay close to the $20 mark for a Chardonnay of this quality. It is ideal with white meats or fish, drinking very well now but will also keep for a year or two. Excellent value at $12.95.
  • St. Nesbit 2007 NZD $74.95 NZD $69.95
    The second release of one of the cult wines of New Zealand. This is without doubt one of the most Bordelais styled reds in this country. The 2007 vintage is probably a little young at the moment but as always the case with St. Nesbit, it is capable of ageing extremely well. At the moment it expresses excellent acidity, good fruit with evenly ripe tannins and medium to full bodied it is still a little young but will develop for 7-8 years. The middle palate is almost reminiscent of a Rioja Gran Reserva with excellent offerings of mocca, tobacco, lead pencil and showing perfect balance and harmony. Drink now or cellar for another 8 years plus.
  • Kumeu River Chardonnay 2009 NZD $43.95 NZD $34.95
    When it comes to outstanding Chardonnay from New Zealand, Kumeu River is an obvious choice. It has been very much a family affair for the last half a century or so. Made by Michael Brajkovich (M.W.) in charge of Oenology and wine making and Chardonnay being his hallmark. Kumeu River Chardonnays as a whole, represent the most consistent and respected in the country, rated internationally by respected wine publications and wine writers. The 2009 vintage was perhaps one of the best in recent years enjoying ideal conditions from budburst to harvest. It represents a tight, well concentrated offering than previous years and shows hints of peach and typical mealiness which we have grown to love about this great wine. It is undoubtedly the closest you will get to a white Burgundy from New Zealand. The actual wines are also made in the tradition of white Burgundy's which are always wines made in the vineyard expressing their terroir. Drink now or over the next 2-4 years.
  • Kumeu River Matés Vineyard Chardonnay 2008 NZD $54.95 NZD $49.95

    Maté's vineyard sits just across the road from the winery, an outstanding enclave reminiscent of a "Clos". This is Maté's vineyard. Setting it apart from the normal or estate Kumeu River, Maté's shows a bolder and individualistic character and it also takes a bit longer to mature. Hand harvested and whole bunch pressed then 11 month barrel aging lead this to be an outstanding release. The Maté's vineyard always offers more concentration, better length and richness than the straight Kumeu River Chardonnay. This is reflected very well in this vintage that has generous fruit flavours, good organic and fruit acidity, depth and hints of minerality. This is as close to a Meursault as you are going to get. Cellar for 4-6 years.
