Aromatics/Other

  • Revington Gewurztraminer 2007 NZD $20.99
    A full flavoured classic Gisborne Gewurztraminer. Very big on both aroma and taste. Ripe stonefruit aromas with a light floral touch. Although this wine is a dry style, it has a lovely mouthfilling oilyness typical of the variety. Outstanding drinking on it's own or makes a perfect accompaniment to Thai or curry dishes.
  • Bellbird Springs Home Block White NZD $28.99
    An interestingly lush single vineyard blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Muscat from this Waipara vineyard. Fullness on the palate through the Pinot Gris which comprises the majority of the blend. Riesling adds underlying freshness and its signature streak of lime blossom whilst small quantities of Muscat and Gewürztraminer contribute to aromatic complexity. A beautiful pairing with Eastern cuisine.
  • Wood Park Viognier 2008 NZD $24.99
    We had this open next to a 5 Star Viognier from NZ and everyone thought this wine was way, way better. Some even said this is the best Viognier they have ever had.An absolutely beautiful wine made from grapes are grown on the edge of the home block of Wood Park in Victoria. Owner and winemaker John Stokes tells us he won't enter this into competitions because of the limited supply. We were lucky to get any of it.Twelve months in French oak and regular lees stirring enhances its subtle delicacte complexity. Pale straw with floral characters including honeysuckle and orange blossom. You could spend all day just smelling it.On th... more »
  • Tietjen Witters TW Gisborne Viognier 2008 NZD $19.99
    'Vee On Yay' is the way to say ... Viognier. We had nearly given up on this grape variety which was meant to be the next 'big thing' in NZ wine after the Pinot Gris phenomenon. A shame that all the hype could have been something a lot more interesting and worth buying and telling your friends about - and at a reasonable price. But all the big names released some very thin, green, featureless and more often than not, very expensive wines. We were finding our customers were beginning to give up hope on ever finding a good value Viognier.We think we've found the Viognier, and a great wine everyone is going to go nuts about. The key thing... more »
  • Craggy Range Noble 2006 - 375ml NZD $37.99 $29.99
    Grab this now. On Special for a limited time.

    Pale colour with green straw flecks. Fresh aromas of lime and citrus blossom are complemented by apricot characters. Flavours are reminiscent of lime, marmalade and white peach. The palate is rich yet remains tight and linear due to crisp, clean acids. The wine finishes with alluring fresh spicy notes.... more »
  • Terravin Noble Sauvignon 2006 - 375ml NZD $49.50
    This is quite possibly the best NZ dessert you will ever get to try. Only just released a matter of days ago this has already been awarded a 96/100 from Bob Campbell and 93/100 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (from a barrel sample!) Some top wine critics have said this rivals some of the best to come out of Sauternes and will cellar for a cool 20 years+ if given the chance. Look out for this in the near future. This is going to get a whole lot more press! Very limited and worth every drop.... more »
