It’s not going to be put in a box, this delicious blend isn’t white, rosé, red or orange, it’s kinda all of the above. And it gets more intriguing with every year. The aromatics are bright - raspberry, watermelon, tamarillo, with hints of maraschino cherry and black pepper. It's medium bodied...

From a region that's famous for its stonefruit, this is suitably forward in those aromatics. It's Chardonnay that flows nicely in the palate, with a rich density, silky texture and fresh acidity. Hand picked, estate grown fruit from 5 parcels was fermented in mostly seasoned oak and aged for 10 mont...

Nelson seems to excel at this kind of Chardonnay - fresh, mineral and driven, without the signs of overt winemaking (oak) that you might expect from the variety. Laurie Stradling delivers exactly that. Although, as well as being unadorned and racy, this has a harmonious, supple mid palate. It’s de...

A fresh, joyful take on Rioja that’s all about energy rather than oak.

This is exactly why the wine world is enamoured with the wines of Mount Etna. Fragrance, red berried fruits, red liquorice and florals served up with tobacco and spice.

Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a wine by its colour. While this northern Italian red, made from the obscure variety Pelaverga, has very light colour and pretty, red fruited fragrance, it also has smokey mezcal-like undertones, and the most amazing sinewy, tense structure. It's sati...

A bright, early drinking Central Otago style of Pinot. It may be approachable, but it's not without serious - there's some lovely firmness in the structure.
