2021 Brink Sauvignon Semillon, Spoke
£2250
The 2021 Brink Sauvignon Semillon from Spoke Wines is a captivating expression of New Zealand’s Marlborough region, offering both precision and personality. Spoke is a collaborative project led by acclaimed winemaker Ben Glover, focusing on site-driven wines that highlight Marlborough’s diverse sub-regions through a thoughtful, minimalist lens.

The Brink vineyard, planted in 1992, sits atop the Renwick terrace in the heart of the mid-Wairau Valley. Organically farmed since its inception, this site features a complex mix of silt, loam, and clay soils, which impart texture and depth to the fruit. A blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, this wine is as much about structure and mouthfeel as it is about aromatics.

In the glass, the wine opens with lifted aromas of lemongrass, white peach, citrus peel, and subtle lanolin, layered with a delicate note of struck match that hints at its refined winemaking. 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. The interplay between Sauvignon’s linear freshness and Semillon’s waxy richness results in a wine that is both texturally fascinating and structurally refined.

£2295
Gold medal at the 2019 International Wine Challenge

The Terroir Hunter (TH) range of wines from Undurraga, represent the diversity and quality to be found in Chile’s vineyard sites.

2023 ‘The Lark’ Chenin Blanc, Olifantsberg
£2295
The ‘Lark’ from Olifantsberg is a top tier, Chenin Blanc and one for those obsessive seekers of the Chenin grape! It has a clean-cut freshness and an exceptional balance of fresh stone fruit and bright citrus notes on a fleshy textured palate. Elegant and refined with a long expressive finish.

The grapes for this exceptional wine come from a 0.6-hectare vineyard located on the fertile slopes of the Olifantsberg Mountain Range where they endure large diurnal temperature differences and strong winds, at altitudes from 250 to 450 metres above sea level. During the winter the mountain peaks are snow-covered, keeping the vines dormant for longer. Strong, constant winds characterise this block; they have a cooling effect and encourage a slow, gradual ripening of the grapes, helping to maintain healthy vines and contribute freshness and elegance to the wines. The soil in the vineyard is made up of sandstone with clay-shale and quartz. The vineyard is farmed in a sustainable manner, with only ‘green’ products used to prevent disease, thus helping to maintain the biodiversity within the vineyards and soils.

The lark is found in many biomes in South Africa, each with distinct call and features depending on the biome. This wine is named after the Red Capped Lark which is found on the Olifantsberg farm. The lark resonates with this block of Chenin Blanc, as it too has its own expression and story to tell.

2019 Nivarius ‘Edicion Limitada’, Palacios Vinos de Finca
£2295

Bodegas Nivarius specialises in the production of white wines from cool-climate vineyards in Rioja. This wine represents the perfect blend of the terroir and the cool-climate region, with its warm days and cool nights prolonging the ripening period and encouraging aromatic richness. The Viura grapes come from the sandy soils of the Najerilla, and the limestone soils of the Sonsierra, and are blended with Maturana Blanca from the Iregua Valley, grown in sandy soils. Maturana Blanca is an ancient native variety with small clusters and small, elliptical grapes which produces vibrant, tangy wines characterised by high, natural acidity.

In the glass it has an aromatic and complex bouquet of baked apple, floral and balsamic notes, layered with nutty tones and a hint of minerality. The palate is fresh, rounded and balanced, with lovely texture and finishes with stone fruits and a touch of almond.

Nivarius, meaning ‘snow-drift’, takes its name from the common sight of the snowy blanket which covers the vineyards in winter.

2022 Hunter Valley Semillon, Brokenwood
£2295

2023 Tiritiri Pinot Gris, Neudorf
£2295
A flirtatious, refreshing, gimme more Pinot Gris. A collision of white pepper, daffodils and summer fruits, with just a peck on the cheek of acidity. This Gris is all about mouthfeel – it’s got depth, viscosity and richness while staying deliciously clean and deceptively moreish. A classic, ticks-all-your-boxes Gris, with a touch of savoury, steely notes in the background – textbook Neudorf aromatic. ‘Tiritiri’ means to grow, cultivate or share in Reo Maori.

2021 Sauvignon Blanc, Pegasus Bay
£2295
The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc from Pegasus Bay is a benchmark expression of New Zealand’s North Canterbury region, vibrant, layered, and undeniably sophisticated. Pegasus Bay was established in 1986 by Ivan and Christine Donaldson, pioneers of viticulture in the Waipara Valley, with Ivan having planted one of the region’s first vineyards a decade earlier. Today, this family-run estate is guided by the second generation, with all four Donaldson sons involved in various aspects of the business. Their commitment to quality and site expression has earned Pegasus Bay a reputation as one of New Zealand’s most respected producers.

In the glass, the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is immediately captivating. The bouquet is vibrant and expressive, offering a heady medley of tropical and citrus aromas: passionfruit, pineapple, and grapefruit are layered with lemon peel, green apple, and a subtle flinty note. On the palate, it delivers both energy and depth, juicy yet precise, with bright acidity and finely balanced phenolics that add structure and persistence. The mouthfeel is textural and dynamic, evolving into a long, mineral-driven finish that leaves a lasting impression.

The vineyard lies on the free-draining, north-facing Glasnevin Gravels of Waipara Valley, sheltered by the Teviotdale Range and blessed with warm days and cool nights. This unique mesoclimate, combined with low-fertility soils, naturally limits yields and promotes the development of intensely flavoured, well-structured fruit. The vines, many over 35 years old and planted on their own roots, deliver a Sauvignon Blanc that is both aromatic and texturally complex.

2020 Sauvignon Blanc ‘Barrique’, Saint Clair
£2300

The wine displays complex aromas of green coffee bean, vanilla pod and maple syrup are complemented by notes of wildflowers, crushed herbs and just a hint of gunflint. The palate is rich and unctuous with layers of ripe papaya, nectarine, cocoa powder and toasted hazelnut with hints of red berry and cassis.

The grapes come from three rows of vines in one of Saint Clair’s best vineyards in the lower Wairau sub-region of Marlborough. The vineyard soils are nutrient-rich and free draining. The maritime climate and close proximity to the sea create a high diurnal temperature difference resulting in a long ripening period, concentrating the fruit flavours while retaining refreshing acidity. The fruit is left to hang a week longer than the fruit for Saint Clair’s traditional Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are hand-harvested, with only the highest quality bunches being selected.

2021 Chardonnay, Creation
£2300
It was in 2002, that Swiss-born winemaker Jean-Claude Martin and his South African wife, Carolyn discovered their little piece of paradise on the cool-climate, Hemel-enAarde Ridge of South Africa’s acclaimed Walker Bay. Here, in one of the most biodiverse regions on earth, virus-free vines climb the steep foothills of Babylonstoren Mountain, flourishing in ancient quartzite and clay-rich soils, cooled by breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean.

A chic, cool-climate Chardonnay with glorious layers of sun-kissed pear and peach enhanced by fresh minerality and hints of spice. Full of finesse and elegance.

The Chardonnay blocks are planted at 270m above sea level. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean’s Benguela current brings cooling south-easterly breezes to the area, as do clouds hemmed in by the surrounding mountains, trapping cool air and moisture in the narrow Hemel-en-Aarde.

2017 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc, Lismore
£2350
Lismore Estate is based in Greyton within the Overberg region of the Western Cape of South Africa. It’s here with the Sonderend mountains as a backdrop that winemaker & proprietor Samantha O’Keefe makes her fabulous wines. ‘ I had a farm in Africa….’ The opening line of Karen Blixen’s classic memoir Out Of Africa comes to mind when you hear Samantha’s amazing story. A native Californian, Berkeley educated, Sam realised her dream and bought a mountain in Africa. She then sold the bottom half to finance vine planting in the top half!

This 2017 barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc is a full-bodied, elegant and beautifully balanced wine. Floral notes of passionflower, fynbos (natural shrubland), combine with guava, gooseberry and pear on the palate along with an underlying minerality, imparting its signature style. A true expression of this unique terroir and its equally unique winemaker.

We love barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc at Wine Republic and this beauty is made in an “oxidative” style using old 500-litre barrels for 70% of the fermentation and maturation bringing forward richness, intense fruit and complexity. 30% of the wine is fermented and aged in 1500-litre concrete egg tanks to enhance the rich palate texture and minerality. In both the barrels and the eggs, extended less contact contribute further to the rounder mouthfeel and creaminess of this elegantly textured wine.

2020 Wonderwall Chardonnay, Field Recordings
£2350
I secretly think we all miss those big luscious, oaky Californian Chardonnays, the ones before they all got expensive and over-the-top.

The Wonderwall 2020 vintage makes a strong first impression with a nose full of pears and clementines. The palate is full of summery notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus and pie crust. As with all the Wonderwall Chardonnays from previous vintages, it has that irresistible mouthwatering feeling that invites the next sip. Drink now and to 2026.

As a vine nursery fieldman, Andrew Jones has spent many hours exploring vineyards, planning, planting, and chatting with farmers all over the Central Coast. He began spotting more and more interesting and overlooked vineyards – often rocky, wilder sites located closer to the Pacific, farmed mindfully by clients who have become friends over many years. This Chardonnay is sourced from Edna Valley.

2020 Riesling Spitzer Federspiel, Weingut Johann Donabaum
£2350

An enchanting wine delivering distinctive aromas of peach and apricot. Crisp, with pure varietal character echoed on the palate, this refreshing wine has an excellent structure and a lively finish. Lovely Riesling expression.

The grapes come from the Spitz vineyard in Western Wachau. The vines are grown on steep hillside terraces which make up several vineyards in the Spitzer Graben. The vines are planted with a south western orientation. Cooling breezes help to keep the climate temperate. The soils are very sandy and have high heat retention properties. The soil’s composition is the result of weathering of the local rocks and it is dominated by pegmatite and calc-silicate gneisses, which have low water retention and help to impart structure to the resulting wine.
