** Sauvignon Star **

Sea Level Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Made from Awatere Valley fruit, this is fresh, pungent, and juicy with delicious summer herb flavours.  One of the first of what we expect to be a stellar year for NZ wines.

Price available through  September 2010 while stocks last.

** Gold Medal Shiraz **

Wolf Blass Gold Label Shiraz 2008

Our Special Price: $17.99
Price available through September 2010 while stocks last

.** Sumptuous Shiraz **

Vidal Merlot Cabernet 2008

Rated No. 1 Merlot blend  in the Cuisine NZ Red tasting and with a gold medal from the Easter Show, this has to be the best value NZ red available right now. Voluptuous fruit, fine tannins and a touch of Black Forest chocolate add to the overall appeal.

** Value-Packed Chardonnay **

Golden in colour with plenty of ripe fruit, citrus, creamy oak and some buttery characters starting to show through, this is smooth and seamless - definitely a First Glass style of Chardonnay.

** Recent Fine Wine Wednesday Tasting Highlights **
(tasting notes by Sue Courtney)

** 1st September 2010: Simply Delicious
Waimea Nelson Chardonnay 2008
Peach and nectarine fill the bouquet - a touch of butterscotch too and even more butterscotch in the delicious savoury, toasty palate. With lots of polished oak and stonefruit with a hint of nutmeg on the finish it fits the theme well, just do not over chill
Our Price: $15.99 special.

30 Mile South East Australian Shiraz 2008
A 'big" smelling wine, it radiates aromas of toasted vanillin oak, hints of eucalypt, blackberries and spice. It has a deep black red reflective appearance and in the palate it has a velvety texture with flavours of blackberries, dark chocolate, spice and leather and downright juicy drinkability. Made by Johnny Quarisa. Recommended by Cuisine.
Our Price: $12.99 special.

** 25th August 2010: Cuisine Magazine Top NZ Reds
Vidal Estate Merlot Cabernet 2008 – Hawkes Bay
A deep purple red coloured wine with a seam of peppery spice that sits in well with the voluptuous fruit while the tannins are fine and smooth and there's a touch of Black Forest chocolate on the juicy finish. Malbec adds to the overall appeal. Gold Medal Royal Easter Show. 5 stars and No 1 Merlot blend Cuisine Magazine.
Our Price: $14.99 special.

Church Road Cuve Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 – Hawkes Bay
Inky black purple, shiny in appearance. Fragrant, almost floral aromas with blackcurrant fruit and classy oak and flavours that do not disappoint. Sweet fruit balances the savoury backbone with a touch of spice and a long succulent finish. A great vintage from a hot summer. this full-bodied wine spent 22 months in oak but it is beautifully balanced by the opulent blackcurrant and boysenberry fruit. Rated 5 stars and No. 1 Cabernet in Cuisine Magazine.
Our Price: $23.99 special.
