New Zealand wines perfect for this month

Our version of the classic dry aromatic style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The citrus core of flavours are juicy and intense with deliciously refreshing saline acidity. The wine calls for simple fresh seafood but can also be enjoyed as a pre-dinner aperitif.

Textbook Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc from a pioneering Marlborough producer. Tropical aromas of passionfruit, guava and blackcurrant combine with nettle and subtle chalky mineral notes. The rich, full palate with grapefruit and blackcurrant leaf has herbaceous overtones and a delicate sea salt character, through to a long, mineral finish. A real crowd-pleaser.

A flavoursome Kiwi Pinot Noir from a pioneering Marlborough producer. Aromas of ripe red berries are interlaced with spice and blackcurrant bud. The palate is full and rich, with flavours of vibrant red berries, layered with warm, spiced fruit through to a silky finish.

New Zealand is rightly famed for its Sauvignon Blancs and this is a cracker. It has plenty of the tropical fruit you would expect, but it is nicely balanced by the herbaceous characters, so the grapefruit and lime flavours are not too overpowering. Great for drinking on its own or with salads or seafood – and excellent value for money.

A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes. The palate is succulent with alluring red cherry, brown spices and silky fine boned tannins.

A complex full bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc with a chalky minerality and fresh herbal influence, complimented by a vibrant acidity which gives the wine focus. Suggested food matches for Section 94 include fish (particularly salmon), poultry and soft white cheeses.
