New
Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough has the sunniest, driest climate in New Zealand, and the
Wairau Valley’s rich soils combine with the cool nights to deliver
astonishingly pungent wines, with gooseberry, herbs, pink grapefruit,
fresh-cut grass, asparagus, lime-leaf, tropical fruit, passion fruit,
and a host of other beguiling aromas. Few wines ever achieve the amazing
aromatic complexity and zesty fruit of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
The expression of this amazing explosion of fruit is aided by our special
proprietary yeast: by careful management of the yeast strain, Selection
Estate New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc casts long, rich flavours,
redolent with grass and currant leaves, and a crisp dry finish.

Corvina
Classico di Veneto with Crushendo ™
The power grape of Italy’s famed Valpolicella,
Bardolino and Amarone, Corvina is renowned for fruity, full-bodied wines
with cherry aromas and a hint of almond. The Veneto region stretches
from the northeast border with Austria down to coastal Venice, with
a mild continental climate ideal for long, controlled ripening and intense
grapes.
Corvina Classico has lush, intriguing aromas of ripe red cherries and
raspberries, delicate hints of almond, toast and spice and a richly
tannic finish that has the fruit lingering on your palate for many minutes.
In
the historic footsteps of Amarone—a wine fermented with a reserve
of crushed grapeskins—the Crushendo™ grape pack brings immense
grape tannin and character to the wine, and the special EC1118 yeast
enhances the wonderful cherry fruitiness. Right out of the carboy this
wine will have intense, gripping tannins, and although drinkable immediately,
it will open up and blossom into a wine of unique power and elegance
over two to four yearse.

Old Vines Zinfandel

gnarled and twisted old vine plantings possess deep, rigorous root systems
and limited grape yields, contributing to intensely concentrated flavours
in the grapes. The result is a deep rich red, with bold, zesty aromas
and ripe berry fruits on the tongue. Pairs exceptionally well with lamb,
