  • 2021 L5 Sauvignon Blanc, YealandsWhite Wine

    2021 L5 Sauvignon Blanc, Yealands

    £1795

    The Yealands Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is one of New Zealand’s most coastal vineyards. Breath-taking vistas of rolling hills and wild coastline define the Yealands wines. The strong offshore winds encourage the grapes to grow small with thickened skins and wonderfully concentrated characteristics.

    The L5 Block is situated in a very exposed area right on the coastline of the Seaview Vineyard. It is the coolest, most extreme site on the vineyard and the subsequent wine reflects this terroir – mineral, salty, crushed oyster shell and wet stone are just a few of the flavours that characterise this unique wine. Serve chilled with seafood or chicken dishes.

  • 2021 Province Sauvignon Blanc, Astrolabe White Wine

    2021 Province Sauvignon Blanc, Astrolabe

    £2250

    Astrolabe’s Province Sauvignon is a vibrant, minerally Marlborough Sauvignon and one of the best Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs available today.

    Fruit for the Province Sauvignon was grown in vineyards located in the Awatere Valley sub-region of Marlborough. It was harvested in cool evening conditions to preserve freshness and vitality and lightly pressed with minimal skin contact to let the pure juice do the talking.

    In the glass, aromas of lemongrass, lime peel and passionfruit, with background notes of whitecurrant and red pepper.   The palate is medium-bodied with white peach, tropical fruits and citrus flavours and a fresh, dry mineral finish.

  • 2020 Province Chardonnay, Astrolabe White Wine

    2020 Province Chardonnay, Astrolabe

    £2395

     The Astrolabe Marlborough Chardonnay is made from grapes grown at Astrolabe Farm Vineyard in the lower Wairau Valley, Wrekin Vineyard in the Southern Valleys and Dashwood Corner in the Awatere Valley.

    In the glass, this wine has aromas of ripe melon and dried stone fruits with vanilla and butter notes and a subtle mealiness.  The palate has a very elegant texture with stone fruit, vanilla creaminess, pleasing weight and a long, dry and mineral finish.  This wine is already drinking well, but it
    will continue to evolve, increasing in complexity and roundness over several years.  Drink now to 2028.  Pairs well with poultry, creamy sauces, miso, sesame, truffles or delicate mushrooms.

    “I enjoy complementing the natural stonefruit and citrus flavours of our chardonnay grapes by building aromatic complexity and texture during winemaking to craft an elegant, dry and mouthfilling wine. Chardonnay is a winemaker’s favourite — the best white wine for barrel ageing and exploring non-fruit complexity. ”  Simon Waghorn, Winemaker

    2018 State of Flux Chardonnay, Yealands

    £2950

    This Chablis-style single-vineyard, limited-release, unoaked Chardonnay has been fermented and aged for eleven months in a concrete egg. The shape of the vessel causes the yeast to be in a constant state of flux, giving the wine richness and complexity, without any wood flavour to mask the fruit character. Concentrated baked yellow apple, peach, dried apricots and graphite with hints of almond and spices on the nose. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with a complex depth of flavour. Highly layered with a persistent, creamy, spiced apricot finish. The bottles are sealed with vegan wax.

     Ideal for grilled fish, cheese boards, roast chicken.  Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and a gluten-free diet.
