Quaffer Favourites Six Pack

Picton Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2023 – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes “Bright and fresh, the inviting nose shows green rockmelon, grapefruit, Gala apple and lemon zest aromas, followed by a lively palate offering pristine fruit flavours with fine texture and juicy acidity, making it immediately appealing.” 

Shelter Bay Chardonnay 2022 – “A bright, pale lemon colour with reflections of gold. Grapefruit, lime and fig combine with subtle mineral notes and softer, lees driven aromatics. The palate follows in flavor profile with plenty of citrus and regional stonefruit characters. Layers of creamy acidity bring length and freshness.”

Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2022 - Cameron Douglas MS writes "It takes just a minute for the bouquet of this wine to fully open with aromas of white apricot apricots and peaches with a whisper of apple and white spices. A satin texture touches the palate first then a vibrant acid line and core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet layer in. Lovely weight and intensity, dry, fruity, varietal and with a decent finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2025."

Hawke’s Bay Estate Syrah 2020 - The winery writes "Ripe brambly with dark fruits, intriguing peppery spice and silky tannins combine to deliver this elegant, easy going syrah."

dArenberg The Stump Jump Shiraz 2020 - Cameron Douglas MS writes "A bright, refreshing, varietal and flavoursome expression with aromas and flavours of fresh red currant and raspberry flesh, moments of black currant and soft toasty barrel spices. Clove and red peppercorn, some warming alcohol and core flavours that reflect the bouquet."

Paloma Tempranillo 2020 – “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.”
