Heaphy Moutere Chardonnay, Nelson 2023
This Nelson Chardonnay is a bold yet elegant expression of one of New Zealand’s most exciting grape varieties. Sourced from unirrigated Mendoza clones averaging 30 years old, the grapes are cold pressed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness. Around 30% of the wine is aged in puncheons and barrels, adding depth, complexity, and a subtle smokiness. The result is a Chardonnay that reflects Nelson’s unique terroir, with its hallmark notes of peach, flint and a touch of sea-salt minerality. Tasting Notes Generous and structured, this Chardonnay offers ripe stone fruit, vibrant citrus, and a powerful breadth on the palate. Muscular yet refined, with a seductive smoky edge and long, satisfying finish.

Te Pa The Reserve Collection Seaside Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Te Pa Reserve Seaside Sauvignon Blanc is a single-vineyard white wine of exceptional quality from the Wairau Bar Home Vineyard in Marlborough , New Zealand . Sourced from two of the vineyard's historically best-performing blocks, just 200 metres from the sea, this is a wine that carries the unmistakable imprint of its coastal terroir in every sip. Why You'll Love It This is Sauvignon Blanc at Reserve level, and it shows. The Seaside block's bony, sand and shingle soils produce fruit of remarkable precision, with a briny, saline character that is genuinely distinctive and utterly compelling. Blended with a smaller parcel from richer alluvial soils closer to the Wairau River, the result is a wine of real complexity and balance, generous yet restrained, exotic yet elegant. Vineyard and Production Two of the best-performing blocks at the Wairau Bar Home Vineyard were selected for this Reserve bottling, with additional yield and canopy management applied in the growing season. Seaside Block 4 (80%) runs parallel to the beach at just 200 metres from the sea. Its compositionally sandy and shingle soils, low in organic matter, produce fruit with bright acidity, citrus and floral notes, and a subtle, intriguing briny salinity. Block 2 (20%) sits approximately 1,200 metres from the beach, with rich alluvial soils that support a healthy canopy and contribute ripe, fleshy stone fruit and exotic flavours. Tasting Notes Ripe and generous on the nose, with aromas of stone fruit, guava and lychee, lifted by lovely citrus and floral elements that lend elegance and restraint. The palate is dry but full of fleshy fruit, with delicate exotic notes of gooseberry and passionfruit, finishing with a distinctive and appealing hint of coastal salinity. Perfect Pairings Outstanding as an aperitif and equally at home at the table. Pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, grilled fish, sushi, soft goat's cheese or a light Asian-inspired dish. The saline finish makes it a natural partner for oyster
