French Bulldog Chardonnay 2022
French Bulldog Chardonnay is a vibrant and characterful white wine from the sun-drenched hillsides of Languedoc, inspired by the charm and confidence of the French Bulldog. The vineyards are planted on well-drained limestone slopes surrounded by wild scrubland, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate of abundant sunshine and cooling coastal breezes — ideal conditions for producing expressive, aromatic Chardonnay. Meet the producer Crafted by Wines & Brands, French Bulldog celebrates the playful French spirit through wines that are both approachable and refined, showcasing the diversity and elegance of southern France’s terroirs. Production The Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo a short maceration to retain delicacy and freshness. Fermentation is followed by ageing in a combination of barriques and larger oak casks to add complexity and texture while maintaining balance. Tasting notes Bright and aromatic, the wine bursts with notes of white peach, apricot, and subtle citrus. The palate is rich yet fresh, with a gentle minerality and an elegant, well-balanced finish that lingers beautifully. Food match An excellent companion to grilled fish, creamy pasta dishes, roasted chicken, or soft cheeses. Also delicious served on its own as an aperitif. Grape Chardonnay 100%
Seifried Nelson Gewürztraminer 2025
Seifried Estate Nelson Gewürztraminer is a gorgeously aromatic New Zealand white that captures everything the variety does best — roses, lychee, tropical fruit, and a succulently spiced palate — with the freshness and balance that Nelson's exceptional terroir consistently delivers. Sourced from two contrasting vineyards, hand-harvested, and carefully vinified to preserve aromatic intensity, this is Gewürztraminer at its most expressive and rewarding. Why You'll Love It Seifried sources grapes from two complementary sites: Brightwater Vineyard, 15km from the coast and sheltered by the Richmond ranges, planted in extremely stony soils that limit vigour and produce intensely flavoured fruit; and Redwood Valley, an unirrigated north-facing clay vineyard with vines aged 10–30 years, optimally exposed for maximum ripeness and aromatic intensity. The result is a wine of exceptional concentration and balance — consistently one of New Zealand's finest expressions of the variety. Vineyard & Production Gewürztraminer grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and allowed brief skin contact before pressing. The clear juice undergoes cool, temperature-controlled fermentation with pure yeast, followed by maturation on yeast lees for added texture. The wine is then racked, blended, clarified, stabilised, and bottled to preserve its vibrant aromatic character. Tasting Notes Bright and aromatic on the nose — roses, ginger beer, lychee, mango, pineapple, and pear drop. The palate is succulent and flavoursome, with tangerine, Turkish Delight, and tropical fruit characters, balanced by vibrant acidity and a clean, lingering finish. Classic Nelson Gewürztraminer: rich, fresh, and deeply expressive. Perfect Pairings An ideal aperitif and a natural partner for spiced and aromatic dishes. Excellent with Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian cuisine, lightly spiced poultry, aromatic seafood, and soft cheeses. The wine's natural sweetness and acidity handle gentle heat beautifully.
