SOUTH AFRICA WHITE WINE
TWR SAUVIGNON BLANC Marlborough, South Island (Te Whare Ra)
MULDERBOSCH SAUVIGNON BLANC
From Shamrock and Te Whare Ra vineyards located in 70% Awatere and 30% Wairau, with a savvy 18% barrel fermentation ... starfruit, pulpy pomelo segments and glistening limes. Summer frangipanis and lotus flowers. Citrus manages to have the high tones of lime but base tones of ruby grapefruit, and acidity hums, grounded deep within the fabric of the wine. It’s slippery, slightly salty and luxurious while uplifting. Every touch point of flavour and texture has been considered ... Flippin’ heck it’s good. Drink from: 2025. Drink by: 2030. Special Value. Score: 96 (Shanteh Wale, winecompanion.com.au, Jan. 19, 2026) Aromatic & Flavourful 411603 (XD) 750 ml $26.95 2 A lovely bouquet with combinations of dark plums and barrel spices, dark skinned cherry and wild roses, clay and stone soil ideas with a mix of clove, vanilla, and wood smoke. A dry wine touches the palate first with lots of energy and style, flavours of red berries and plums reflecting the bouquet. The acidity and tannins fold into the core fruit flavours seamlessly adding mouthfeel and textures that salivate and carry flavours throughout the palate. Excellent. Well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2032+. Score: 94 (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, Nov. 27, 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 32405 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 Sweetly fruited and inviting, the wine shows ripe cherry, wild strawberry, clove, and floral aromas on the nose. The palate displays succulent fruit flavours with a beautifully rounded mouthfeel, combined with fine texture and elegant tannins, finishing lingering and tasty. At its best: now to 2028. Score: 91 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, March 2025) Medium-bodied & Fruity 296202 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 DASHWOOD PINOT NOIR Marlborough, South Island (Vavasour) NEW ZEALAND RED WINE BANNOCK BRAE DIGGERS LAW PINOT NOIR Central Otago, South Island
