The Crossings Pinot Gris 2023 - The winery writes "The Crossings Pinot Gris 2023 is brimming with concentrated notes of pear drop, white peach and honeycomb aromas. The palate is textural, with a nice balance between fruit sweetness and natural acidity with a mineral finish. Enjoy with poultry and mushroom dishes such as creamy pasta with porcini."

Albarino Brothers Albarino 2024 - David Walker Bell, Wine Folio writes "A pale green straw colour in the glass. Vibrant aromas of Granny Smith apple, lime leaf, grapefruit, white peach and jasmine florals promise much. The palate is also very energetic, with a racy, saline acidity leading the charge. The crispness continues into the salivating finish."

Rapaura Springs Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2025 - Cameron Douglas MS writes "Fresh and crunchy red apple, tropical fruits of pineapple and mango, fresh basil, a refreshing wine bursting with flavour. Just dry on the palate with a core of ripe apple and tropical fruits framed by a saline acidity and chalky textured fruit tannins. There’s a light leesy quality adding texture and length. Well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2028."

Otu Limited Release Sauvignon Blanc 2025 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Fabulously aromatic and enticing, the bouquet shows passionfruit, kiwifruit, green rockmelon, and lime peel characters, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate filled with juicy fruit intensity backed by bright acidity, making it delicious and gorgeously drinkable. At its best: now to 2028."

Calmel and Joseph Collection Chardonnay 2024 - The winery writes "Well balanced aromas in notes of white flowers, mango, vine peach, and star anise, finishing on vanilla, coconut milk and gingerbread. The mouth is clean-cut, fresh and full, with stone fruit such as apricot or peach followed by acacia flowers, peppermint, fresh pineapple, grilled almonds, honey and butter, and a long creamy finish. Very moreish with the minerality that is characteristic of this wine." 

Tietjen Witter GOLD Chardonnay 2025 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Richly fruited and complex, the inviting bouquet shows summer peach, rockmelon, nougat, and roasted cashew aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight, succulent fruit intensity, and creamy texture, splendidly supported by juicy acidity, making it flavoursome and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2029."

Paloma Tempranillo 2023 - This is beautifully fruited and fragrant on the nose showing blackcurrant, thyme, roasted nut and a hint of cocoa notes. The succulent palate offers fleshy texture and ripe fruit intensity together with silky tannins, making it immediately approachable and drinkable.

Welcome Swallow Central Otago Pinot Noir 2024 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Youthfully charming and beautifully fragrant, the bouquet shows dark cherry, sweet plum, olive and warm spice aromas, followed by a silky-smooth palate offering fleshy texture and fine-grained tannins. Wonderfully harmonious and soothing with a lengthy, velvety finish. At its best: now to 2028."

Sherwood Francesca Bay Pinot Noir 2024 - The winery writes "A classic medium bodied pinot noir full of flavour. Oak aging has rounded the ripe flavours to produce a wine that is perfect with meat and cheese or just great to enjoy with friends."

Badia al Colle Appassimento Puglia IGT 2024 - Dark and sultry in the glass, this wine is chock full of intense cherry flavours with vanilla and spice notes adding complexity. It is rich and full on the palate with ripe tannins. A seriously lush and rewarding glass of wine.
