Upper Goulburn Marsanne Roussanne 2014

Exceptional quality with lovely citrus, peach and apple aromas, plenty of minerality and a silky, rich texture. Lovely acidity - it's a great version of the classic Rhône white blend and the bit of extra bottle age helps. Excellent with food — 7 years ago

Cowrie Bay

Chardonnay

Tasty! Quite fruity — 9 years ago

Crazy By Nature Cosmo Red Blend 2014

Amazing quality/price ratio. Graphite and black pepper aromatics points to the smidge of Syrah, blackberries with super fine tannins, ably supported with a lovely vanillin finish. — 9 years ago

Wairau Cove

Gisborne Chardonnay 2018

New Zealand is known for its Sauvignon Blanc but when it comes to Whites Chardonnay is their secret weapon. Aromas of Citrus and Stone Fruit but also noticeable spiced Pineapple on nose and palate. No. 2 in the Tesco Mixed dozen. — 6 years ago

Vinoptima

Gewürztraminer Noble Late Harvest 2004

Full, rich, sweet, fruity nose. Aromas of honey, poached pear and fig. Viscous, full, and powerful on the palate. Surprisingly bright acidity leads to lots of orange zest, honey, marmalade and fig. The finish is sweet and lively and seemingly lasts forever. It easily has 10-20 years left. Can't believe this is $19.99 on the shelf! — 9 years ago

Central Otago Gewürztraminer 2008

Gewurztraminer is a varietal that does particularly well in New Zealand in my tasting experience. Gorgeous nose of lychees with floral spicy notes. Voluptuous on the front and middle palates but finishes dry. The perfect wine with Asian food. In a word - delicious. Another brilliant Gewürztraminer is made at Gisborne in the North Island by Vinoptima whose goal it is to produce the worlds best Gewürztraminer to challenge the Grand Crus of Alsace. — 10 years ago
