CHARDONNAY
Deep Down Chardonnay 2021
We’ve fallen deep for Deep Down wines. Their stylish, organic expressions of great Marlborough vineyards will leave you reaching for another glass. Sourced from the biodynamic Wrekin vineyard, this Chardonnay has stone fruit, citrus and nutty flavours packed neatly around a svelte line of fresh acidity. Delicious.
ROSÉ
La Source Gabriel Côtes de Provence Rosé 2021
This is the real deal, that refreshing, dry, pale style of Rosé that is synonymous with Provence. In 1985 Régine Sumeire, who makes this wine in collaboration with her nephew, actually pioneered the pale Provence style we know and love. Her delicate, refined style of winemaking continues today.
ORANGE
Kenzie Beautiful Strangers Orange 2022 Lightly perfumed, with the kind of quenching tang of a G&T after a hot day, this is a great introduction to skin contact (orange) wines. It’s made from co-fermented Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay. These first releases of Dave MacIntosh’s Kenzie label, mark his exciting return to Hawkes Bay, after 15 successful years of winemaking in Australia.
