2009 Sauvignon Blanc, Catherine Marshall Ripe but focussed, Cathy’s sauvignon captures lovely green apple fruit freshness with a mineral lift. Great for seafood and outdoor drinking.... read more..

2009 Urban Sauvignon Blanc, Bodegas O. Fournier Thanks to the high altitude at which these grapes are grown over 1,000m this Sauvignon has steely, lime and grapefruit flavours and a fresh, zingy palate. Pure and refreshing.... read more..

2010 Sancerre Blanc, Dom. des Clairneaux A delicious, stylish, balanced Sancerre that drinks beautifully early on and develops well with age. Quite a ripe style for Sancerre with almost New Zealand like gooseberry fruit along with pear and apple. Zesty but ripe acidity, lovely minerality an... read more..

2010 Gundian Albarino, Adega Valdes We just love this wine - it has sufficient body but doesn`t feel heavy; the nose is an enticing combination of ripe peach, stone fruits and zippy minerality. The palate is clean, balanced and fresh and this continues through on the finish making it... read more..
