Joe Babich favours 'a fuller, riper, softer style of Sauvignon Blanc'. It's not a jump out of the glass style, but the wines develop well. The latest releases reflect a rising input of grapes from the company's Cowslip Valley vineyard in the Waihopai Valley, which gives less herbaceous fruit characters that it's other Marlborough vineyards. This smooth wine features strong, ripe flavours of melons and limes, moderate acidity and a rounded, rich finish - great drinkability and well regarded all over the world.

Summer berries in a glass. Perfect for picnics, brunches, parties and those times where you don't want to open a full bottle. Mini Party Packs are just the thing for entertaining.

Aromas of fresh golden peach and vanilla, whipped cream, hazel nut and fine toasty wood scents. Youthful, familiar and inviting. A raw silk texture touches the palate first accentuated by acidity and oak then a wave of fresh fruit arrives for contrast and balance. Weighty, fresh, nutty, fruity and youthful.

Flavours and aromas range from subtle red fruits and stone fruit, through to more lifted floral, guava, gentle herbal notes and flinty, mineral complexity. A finely textured wine with subtle light berry, guava and floral notes complemented with savoury undertones.

An elegant expression - fragrant and fruit forward, complemented by gunflint, hazelnut and nougat.

Fruit is left longer on the vine to increase concentration and accentuate the floral and spice notes of these grapes.

A complex expression that exhibits the freshness of a sauvignon blanc but with mineral flint and savoury nuances.
