Bascand Marlborough Chardonnay 2009
NZD $9.95
Normally $19.95! Rich in tropical fruit characters of pineapple and banana with a hint of oak and lightly buttered toast. The fruit was hand-harvest and pressed directly to barrel with the barrels we being stirred on a weekly basis. Match with chicken and sun-dried tomato pesto salad. Drink now and will reward cellaring for 6–9 years.

Rojo Granrojo Garnacha 2010
NZD $12.95
Paul Tudor Master of Wine says in Metro Magazine. "If you enjoy fruity Otago Pinots this modern Spanish red is for you. With currant and plum and flavours of pastille and fruit jube and ripe, juicy tannins. Uncomplicated, forward, yet punchy at a sharp price."

Montesierra Tinto Joven Somontano DOC Spain 2008
NZD $13.95
Was $19.95 and certainly worth $25+. This is amazing buying. A blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. A wine of an intense, cherry red colour and shades of violet. Hinting at fruits of the forest on a floral background, it is fruity and flavoursome on the palate, smooth and easy drinking with a very long and interesting after taste.
-
Trentham Lantana Shiraz Cabernet 2008
NZD $13.95
This label has been consistently good value over the years but this 2008 vintage is the best to date by some margin. Nice deep colour, the palate is smoothly textured and richly flavoured with plenty of plum and blackcurrant fruit flavours, a nice touch of spice and just enough grip on the finish. Juicy, well balanced and excellent value.
-
Stillwater Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011
NZD $14.95
A real bargain here. The hints of gooseberries on the nose are followed on the palate by fresh, green fruit flavours. The acidity is refreshing and the length good. Worth $20+.
-
Walnut Block Collectables Sauvignon Blanc 2011
NZD $14.95
A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc with powerful aromatic notes of fresh passionfruit and ripe lime over a herbaceous background. The palate is textured and concentrated with exotic fruits and citrus flavours. Well integrated natural acidity leaves a crisp and lengthy finish.
-
Beresford Beacon Hill Shiraz 2010
NZD $14.95
The best yet under this great value label. Full-flavoured, vibrant Shiraz with tremendous concentration, richness and ripeness for a wine of this price this full-flavoured, vibrant Shiraz that represents great value. Plum and berry fruit mix with spice on the nose and follow through the palate, which is firm and flavoursome. Soft on the finish this is one to roll down on any occasion.

The Ice Bag
NZD $14.95
First there was the ice bucket, now there is the "Ice Bag". It would have taken ten departments and twelve floors of marketing people months to come up with the name, but the popularity of these in restaurants has skyrocketed due to its small size and ease of use. Now you can use it at home. Just add a combination of ice and water and your favourite beverage is chilled in just 20 minutes. Use it for wine or beer. Great for the beach or sitting outside with friends on a hot summery day. Bottle displayed not included but FREE when you buy any 6 bottles of Champagne Cattier.

Discovery Point Sauvignon Blanc 2010
NZD $14.95
Was $21.95. A distinct departure from over-whelming, tropical fruit flavoured show styles of Sauv. Inspired by the great styles of the Loire Valley in France, it is an elegant, finely textured, completely dry Marlborough Sauv that is a perfect partner with fine seafood or worth savouring on its own. Rivals the best of NZ.
-
Poco a Poco Tempranillo 2010
NZD $14.95
A raspberry scented fruity and smooth wine made from the Rioja grape Tempranillo.
