Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
Gold Medal - 2013 Easter Wine Show Awards
With a staggering tally of Gold medals under its belt, this wine must rank as one of the best buys for Sauvignon Blanc around. This wine is absolutely delicious. Ripe, vibrant fruit notes of passionfruit, citrus and blackcurrant coupled with pitch perfect acidity. Superby ripe fruit was sourced from both the Awatere and Wairau Valleys and fermented slowly for 4 weeks to maximise the lovely fruit. Brilliant value too!

Invivo Wines was founded by two old school friends, Tim and Rob in 2007. Since then they've gone ahead in leaps and bounds producing Gold medal Sauvignon Blancs, and now this superb Gold medal Pinot Gris. Made in a refreshingly off-dry style, the fruit was hand harvested and post fermentation was left on its lees for 12 weeks to add textural weight to the final wine. Gorgeous flavours of pears, quince and candied fruit. The silky palate is deceptively full bodied and the off-dry sweetness is perfectly balanced with the acidity. Great now and over the next 3-4 years

If one can see past winemaker James Rowan's impressive facial hair, you'll see the sparkling eyes of a very talented (and humorous) winemaker. This Barrique (= barrel) Fermented label has been a consistent performer over the years, and the 2011 is a stunner. Rich and ripe parcels of Chardonnay from the stony soils of Marlborough and the clay soils of Waimauku have been fermented in French oak barriques. Summer’s stone fruit bounty reveals itself over freshly toasted brioche. A gilded crush of peach is layered over almond, pear and fig. A fine mineral touch laces around the lingering and lithe palate

Fruit was sourced from the Highwater Vineyard at the southern end of Bendigo and the resulting wine spent a year in (50% new) French oak barrels. Oozing intense black and red fruit notes with a sumptuous silky palate. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit magazine writes, “This is gorgeous and very impressive. The rich bouquet shows dark cherry, plum, game and floral characters. It's superbly ripe and succulent on the palate with outstanding mid palate weight and density, finishing long and velvety. It's youthful and charming, and should develop magnificently. 5 Stars” A great value Otago Pinot…..amazing value as a Gold medal winner!!
