CASE OF 12 $24.00 A BOTTLE A combination of Gimblett Gravels magic and Craggy Range finesse. Single vineyard, complex, it opens with aromas of blackberry and cassis, violet and nutmeg. Silky textures enfold the ripe, spicy, dark fruit flavours. Poised.
CRAGGY RANGE WINEMAKER MATT STAFFORD
CRAGGY RANGE KIDNAPPERS Chardonnay 2011
In the fifteen-odd years since it released its first wine, Craggy Range has firmly established itself as one of our national vinous treasures, thanks in no small part to their production, year after year, of consistently brilliant wines.
$20.99
Anthony Rose of the UK’s Independent Newspaper put it thus: ‘If you don’t know Craggy Range, get acquainted, because I can’t think of another wine company that’s managed to roll Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire and Rhône styles into one harmonious group of wines so successfully.’
11225
CASE OF 12 $19.50 A BOTTLE The Kidnappers is the little brother to Craggy’s jewel in the crown, the consistently outstanding Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Chardonnay. Just as impressive in its own way, this is a more fruitdriven style of wine, a classic single vineyard, Hawkes Bay amalgam of stonefruit characters, gentle textures and a long, rewarding finish.
Right from the start, founders Terry Peabody and Kiwi viticulturist Steve Smith MW made the bold decision to pursue a single vineyard winemaking philosophy, to select the best sites in New Zealand and plant vines suited to that terroir. Under the supervision of Chief Winemaker Matt Stafford, the wines are fastidiously crafted in small batches within two separate high-tech wineries (one for whites and one for reds). The portfolio of single vineyard wines are New World classics, and this single-minded winery is producing some of the finest and best value wines in the world.

CASE OF 12 $16.00 A BOTTLE At Craggy Range they have a most singular view: only the best will do. That philosophy flows relentlessly through every aspect of their range, this being no exception. Lighter in style, an added note of intrigue and complexity sways toward the cooler-derived grapefruit, gooseberry and lime. Flowers whisper.
$22.99
CASE OF 12 $22.00 A BOTTLE A Gimblett Gravels take on a French classic, done to perfection. Merlot dominant, the rich, abundant black fruits dancing on your tongue are held in check by fine, balanced tannins. Elegant, balanced, buoyant, it’s enhanced by mocha notes and a sustained savoury finish.

CASE OF 12 $23.50 A BOTTLE Fashioned by the team at Chard Farm, Rabbit Ranch is deliberately made in a light and easy, approachable style; not one for the cellar, it is nonetheless surprisingly complex.

One of the Rhône’s finest producers combines with one of the best vintages in recent history to produce this admirably drinkable Syrah-Grenache-Mourvèdre blend. All the hallmarks of the 2010 vintage are here: beautifully ripe fruit, a firmly elegant tannic structure, good acidity and power. Outstanding value.
There is no shortage of substance here. The French get the bulk of De La Rosa’s output, and they drink this wine as an aperitif, sipping quietly on a thimbleful while they press the Prada before another soirée.

CIDER CRAFT INVERCARGILL What began as some sort of bonding hobby for father & son team Gerry and Steve Nally has grown to become one Invercargill’s most treasured enterprises. Following an extended European OE, chemistry graduate Steve initially played around a bit with cider but then got serious, and in 1999 set up a brewery with his dad in a disused dairy shed on the outskirts of town. By 2005, the brewery had outgrown the dairy shed and they moved it to downtown Invercargill, into a custom-built, selfcontained set-up from where the two continue to dispense their own brand of southern magic.

The Smokin’ Bishop is a German-style beer that uses Invercargill’s own Manuka smoked malt and Pacific Jade hops. At 7%, it’s a big brew with a distinctive smoky, malt-driven character that’s deftly balanced by a cascade of rich, fruity notes. On debut, the Bishop won a gold medal and Best in Class at the BrewNZ Awards.

Sam Whitmore and Hannah Bower acquired a taste for cider during a stint travelling through Europe, and the penny dropped between them that New Zealand, with its abundance of top-quality fruit, was ideally suited to the production of such an elixir. In 2009 they started the Zeffer Brewery in the lush surrounds of Matakana. Their ciders are, of course, crafted from freshly-crushed fruit, fermented naturally and free of any compromising additives. Their goal? To deliver crisp, uniquely antipodean expressions to challenge the traditional ciders they enjoyed on the other side of the world.

Zeffer’s Apple Cider is made from a carefully selected blend of New Zealand-grown apples, crushed and cool fermented for up to three months to maximise the flavours. It has a natural haze from being unfiltered, and tangy green apple nuances that are underscored by earthy undertones and complemented by a fresh, dry finish.

ELSPE TH Named in honour of the winemak er’s grandmother, the Elspeth range is MR’s top tier, produced from thei r Gimblet t Gravels vineyards in Hawkes Bay.

MICHEL GROS E X TENDING A BURGUNDIAN DYNAST Y The Gros family’s winemaking dynasty began in 1830 when 26-yearold Alphonse Gros set up in Vosne-Romanée. Six generations on, the properties have been divided up amongst family members, and there are now four separate Gros domaines. Today Michel Gros heads up his own, consisting of his Clos des Réas (Premier Cru) property, along with excellent parcels in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-SaintDenis, Chambolle-Musigny and the Bourgogne appellations. The vineyards are meticulously managed on a low-yield regime, with all fruit hand harvested and traditionally fermented using cultured yeasts, which Michel believes provide greater finesse. His attention to detail has been rewarded with numerous accolades, including Best Winemaker and Best Pinot Noir at London’s famed International Wine Challenge, two years in a row.

CASE OF 12 $36.00 A BOTTLE The grape of choice for white Burgundy is, of course, Chardonnay; here it was harvested by hand and initially cool fermented in tank before being transferred to barrel to complete the fermentation process. Following six to eight months of maturation, the wine was gently filtered and bottled. Aromas of stonefruit and lime are accompanied by nutty nuances, over a palate of well-defined fruit displaying a creamy suppleness and a crisp, spice-edged finish.

SHERRY THE REAL DEAL: SPAIN’S BEST-KEPT SECRET Sherry, in its authentic form, is one of the greatest and most distinctive vinous styles ever created. A fortified wine, it is derived from the Sherry Triangle, a strictly limited region in southern Spain formed by three different towns: Jerez de la Frontera, Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlucar de Barrameda. The various styles, from the driest to the sweetest, are made mainly from the Palomino grape (some sweeter styles use the Pedro Ximenez variety), and employ the traditional solera aging system where wines from different stages are blended together to maintain quality and consistency within the house style. According to sherry authority Julian Jeffs, ‘no one makes better sherry than Valdespino, nor does anyone have a longer history.’ This outstanding producer has been involved in the trade since 1430, and its sherries offer a diverse range of styles and flavours, with aperitifs to stimulate the palate and sweeter styles to savour alone, or with cheeses and desserts.

WOLF BL ASS ICONIC AND UNCOMPROMISING Wolfgang Blass arrived in Australia in 1961 armed with a winemaking degree from Germany and sparkling wine experience in France and Austria. After a few years spent gathering experience within the Australian industry, Blass commenced blending small quantities of red wine to be released under his own label. In 1969 he purchased a two-hectare block in the Barossa Valley, and in 1973 the Wolf Blass Winery was officially up and running. In 1974, Wolf Blass took out the coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy at the Melbourne Wine Show, a feat he achieved three years in a row. He again made history in 1999, winning the trophy for an unprecedented fourth time. Today the Wolf Blass brand boasts a formidable reputation for premium wines, having won more than 3,000 awards at wine shows, including Red Winemaker of the Year at the 2008 International Wine Challenge in London.

This elegant Waipara offering is evolving nicely as it transports its rich aromatic notes of pipfruit, peach and lime through onto the palate. A steely, refreshing mineral edge plays foil to the pure fruit flavours.
Here, the hands-on approach includes small batch harvesting, foot treading and basket pressing. Savoury and spicy nuances and a long mineral finish beautifully augment the sweet fruit. Polished.
