REDMAN COONAWARRA CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2022 Coonawarra, South Australia

PADDY BORTHWICK PINOT GRIS 2025 Wairarapa, North Island It’s splendidly ripe and inviting on the nose with poached pear, mango, Gala apple, and warm spice aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and succulent fruit intensity, beautifully supported by silky texture and fine acidity, finishing delectable and lingering. At its best: now to 2028. Score: 94 (Sam Kim, wineorbit. co.nz, Dec. 2026) Aromatic & Flavourful 555516 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 2

This 2022 Cabernet is bold for Coonawarra but still holds its shape admirably. Powerful slaty blackcurrant aromas are lifted by touches of oregano and bay leaf with sweet blackberry in support. Dry, sturdy and strong with a dense core of drying tannins accented by juicy acidity. Generous ripeness but all kept in check nicely with cherry liqueur accents to finish. Drink by: 2030-2040. Score: 94 (Angus Hughson, winepilot.com, Aug. 2024) Full-bodied & Firm 51022 (XD) 750 ml $22.95 2 ZONTE’S FOOTSTEP LAKE DOCTOR SHIRAZ 2023 Langhorne Creek, South Australia, vegan Here’s a Shiraz that captures all that is good in South Australia’s Langhorne Creek. There’s the soft drinkability and flavour that you come to expect. It’s medium-bodied, but with plenty of depth and fruit intensity, with a lift of spices and traditional plummy dark fruits. A fine cedar-y edge complements perfectly the sweet fruit flavours. And here’s a wine that you’ll find awfully difficult to put down. Drink by: 2026 2034. Score: 95 (Ray Jordan, winepilot.com, March 2026) Medium-bodied & Fruity 72975 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 2

SPY VALLEY SAUVIGNON BLANC 2024 Marlborough, South Island It’s brightly fruited and fragrant on the nose with notes of green rockmelon, crisp apple, lemon zest, and capsicum.

Score: 93 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Sept. 2025) Aromatic & Flavourful 686675 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 1
