SauvBlanc / Canterbury / NewZealand
Waipara River passes through a town of the same name on its course to Pegasus Bay, thirty minutes north of Christchurch. The vines enjoy a sheltered position near the sea, where warm days, cool nights and a dry autumn, result in a very prolonged ripening period. Pegasus Bay believe that patience and attention to detail are central to growing the most powerful fruit and vinifying the most compelling wines. Concentrated and rich, a backbone of tangy mineral and acid helps to dry out the palate all the way across to the zippy finish, lingering, spicey and dry.

Riesling / Martinborough / NewZealand
Palliser Estate's vineyards were first planted in 1984 and the wines now produced are starting to show characters from these older vines. Riesling planted over a relatively small area, gains complexity from differences in slight variations of soil types and microclimates. Palliser have consistently outgunned rivals in all but the most uncooperative vintages, producing a North Island Riesling like a Riquewehr, but more generous and refined. Fermented cool to retain varietal bouquets and rested on sediments for palate texture, it's sensationally rich with balanced acidity and just a little residual sugar.
