2022 BOB Short for Kate Sauvignon Blanc, Ben Glover Family Wines
£1795
This stunning Sauvignon blanc is made by one of the top New Zealand’s top wine makers, Ben Glover and is an homage to his late sister, Kate.

It is a zesty Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc offers the best of what the region has to offer. There are lovely aromas of white peach, melon and tropical fruits. Wonderful tastes of tropical passion fruit, guava and mandarin on the palate as well as a mouth-watering succulence and a delightful persistence.

As Jancis Robinson says: “a more complex Marlborough Sauvignon than most, with notes of greenery. A superior version of a well-loved style of wine.”

Nicknamed ‘Bob’ by her family (some of you may recognize the Blackadder reference), Bob Short for Kate is a tribute to Kate Glover, an amazing young drama teacher and Ben’s sister, who passed away in 2018. Ben explains that he has looked to produce a wine that characterises the honesty, purity and confidence of Kate. These are organic, Marlborough wines, reliant on selected blocks from the family’s vines and exceptional fruit selection. Not to mention the skill of one of the region’s most well-regarded winemakers.

2023 ‘The Raptor’ Chardonnay, Lake Chalice
£1950
A full-bodied Chardonnay with bold flinty notes surrounded by peach undertones. The creamy palate has a wonderful balancing freshness and reveals layers of flint, lemon blossom and biscuity nuances complemented by subtle oak spice.

The grapes are sourced exclusively from mature vines within a single hectare vineyard block called the Reed Vineyard.

The vines are a mixture of Burgundian Chardonnay clones; predominantly they are clone 95, with a proportion of Mendoza clones and some clone 15. The fruit from this block has become renowned for delivering crisp, flinty flavours.

The grapes were carefully selected and vinified with 100% wild yeasts. Some were vinified as whole bunches, to add complexity. Fermentation took place in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques, lasting 10 months where malolactic fermentation took place imparting a creamy texture.

2023 Noble Riesling ‘Godfreys Creek Reserve’, Saint Clair, 375ml
£1950
Saint Clair Godfrey’s Creek Noble Reserve Riesling is a deliciously complex dessert wine, with a bouquet of clover honey, cinnamon and beeswax. Luscious and silky on the palate with rich orange, apricot and cocoa notes leading to a long, smooth finish.

The fruit for Godfrey’s Creek is grown in the heart of the Marlborough Valley. The vineyard is situated on the Wairau Valley floor, where it experiences early morning dew and light afternoon breezes; a successful combination in the production of Noble Riesling. Select grape bunches were left to hang on the vine until late in the season, promoting raisining and botrytis. The grapes were hand-harvested once the desired level of sugar had been reached. This wine is only made in vintages when the season facilitates the extra hanging time required for the growth of botrytis on the grapes. The vineyard is cultivated according to sustainable practices and is accredited to Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand.

Original price was: £2395.Current price is: £2000. 16% saving
The 2022 Pioneer Block 15 ‘Strip Block’ Pinot Noir from Saint Clair Family Estate is a beautifully perfumed, site-driven wine that captures the finesse and fruit purity of Marlborough’s southern valleys. Saint Clair, a family-owned winery founded by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, has become one of New Zealand’s most awarded producers. Renowned for their commitment to quality and innovation, the estate focuses on small, distinct parcels, known as Pioneer Blocks, that showcase the exceptional diversity of Marlborough terroir.

‘Strip Block’ takes its name from a narrow strip of aged, devigorating soils found at the base of the southern foothills of the lower Waihopai Valley. This unique micro-site, with its clay-based soil and slight northerly aspect, naturally limits vine vigour and promotes concentration in the fruit.

In the glass, the 2022 Strip Block Pinot Noir is elegant and expressive, offering lifted aromas of bright red cherry, wild raspberry, and subtle floral notes. The palate is finely textured with a rich, rounded mouthfeel, underpinned by silky tannins and a refined thread of charry oak that adds gentle structure and complexity.

2022 Amped Chardonnay, Spoke
£2195
The 2022 Amped Chardonnay from Spoke Wines is a masterclass in textural Chardonnay. Spoke is the visionary collaboration between Liam Steevenson MW and Marlborough winemaker Ben Glover, whose decades of experience in the region are channelled into site-focused, expressive wines that reflect both land and hand.

This 100% Chardonnay hails from the Wilde vineyard, located in a cool maritime pocket of Marlborough and rooted in silt loam and clay soils. These conditions, combined with minimal intervention winemaking, result in a wine that is richly layered, yet beautifully restrained.

On the nose, bruised green apple, stone fruit and almond are immediately apparent, woven with delicate notes of white flowers and honey. The palate follows suit, dry, powerful and deeply complex, with its core defined not by overt acidity, but by minerality and finely grained phenolic texture. This gives the wine a structural integrity and savoury elegance that stands out among modern New Zealand Chardonnays.

Already compelling, the 2022 Amped Chardonnay is delicious now but built to evolve, promising even greater nuance and harmony over the next decade.

On the palate, it delivers immediate weight and presence, full-bodied, yet taut and energetic, with vibrant acidity anchoring generous stone fruit and citrus flavours.
