17 points, Jancis Robinson: "Gosh. By NZ standards this is an antique! ... Pale green-gold. ...this seems ever so slightly reduced, then soft and gentle on the palate. That characteristic NZ acidity is fading. By no means unpleasant! A really very nice alternative to a well-made Côte de Beaune white.

A wonderfully classic Chablis estate... An elegant Chablis that combines fleshiness and acidity wonderfully and is relentlessly fresh. The terroir is fully expressed in this Chablis with invigorating marine notes, such as oyster shell but also lemon and a fine nutty touch. It is mouth-filling, strong and very salivating!

This is one of the top "go to" wines for Pouilly-Fumé. The estate's name is synonymous with style and quality. This is one heck of an entry level for Poully-Fumé. Highly recommended by us. 

Domaine Louis Jadot bought Château des Jacques in 1996. Situated in Moulin à Vent, one of the finest appellations of the Beaujolais, the jewel in this domain’s crown is a 9-hectare clos of Chardonnay, Clos de Loyse.

Lingeringly perfumed Albariño from the cool, rainy Rías Baixas region of Spain, awash with apricots and peaches with a fine mist of acidity.

Food Matching: Super as an aperitif but matches really well with a wide range of seafood, in particular shellfish.

Albariño from a prestigious region of Galicia, tropical on the nose, with pineapple and passion fruit balanced by flowers and a juicy mouthful of apricot and mango.

Food Matching: It pairs perfectly with mussels, squid, octopus, also risottos and marinated or spiced fish.

A fresh bouquet of peach and apricot leading to a rich and full palate with a hint of lemony acidity. Clean and well balanced with a dry, concentrated finish.

Food Matching: From the Rais Baixas in northern Spain, this Albarino pairs brilliantly with local seafood fare. Locals try it with spiced Octopus Pinxtos.

95 Points from Decanter. Tasted by Cameron Douglas, MS. Part of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc: 20 from 2020. This wine was the joint top scoring Sauvignon Blanc.

One of the few Domaines in the Picpoul region, Domaine Montredon offer super premium quality with great concetration and finesse and a real focus on their unique terroir.

Beautiful fruit purity of limes and ripe gooseberry, with tropical, floral and fine herbal notes, ruby grapefruit and white pear drop on the finish. This is cool climate Sauvignon Blanc – vibrant, mineral, elegant, balanced and delicate, with a long, layered and complex finish.

Eat with: Fresh asparagus, chicken and seafood.

A full, powerful and fruit filled California Chardonnay.

Petit Chablis is a perfect introduction to the world of Chablis' fine wines. Its Portlandian subsoil differs somewhat from other AOCs in the region. However, it still evokes Chablis characteristics with lovely freshness on the palate.
