There’s lots to love here - lifted aromatics, a juicy core of fruit in the palate, silky texture, and a finish that’s fresh and clean as a whistle. Rosie Finn of Neudorf sees “a natural harmony between Albariño and the Nelson region. The grape itself has a slightly thicker skin which can help...

Made with a whisper of skin contact, it’s crisp, bright and fresh, with a quiet herbal complexity.Ojisan Wines is a collaborati...

We can’t think of a better way to enjoy Rhubarb, especially with the lifted aromatics of fresh magnolia, lavender, violets and lilac in the mix. It sits about medium in sweetness, and organic moscato makes up the base wine. Forget preserves, this is hands down the best way to capture seasonality.S...

Generously flavoured with sunny stone and tropical fruit aromatics, this has a juicy, supple and dry palate. We find expressions Gavi (and the Cortese grape) can often be quite steely and lean, but we really enjoyed the ripe, forward ease of this one. It makes for a perfect afternoon drink in the su...
