Lawson's Dry Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2009/2010, Marlborough
A fresh, dry, crisp Sauvignon sourced only from premium vineyards throughout Marlborough's Wairau Valley. Displaying gooseberry on the nose and palate, this wine has gained structure from the partial barrel fermentation it has undergone. Quality conscious New Zealand producers are leading the field in promoting the benefit of screwcaps, which eliminate potential cork taint.

Cloudy Bay Pelorus Rosé NV, New Zealand
An excellent rosé from New Zealand's masters of top quality sparkling wine. Vinified in the traditional method, from 80% Pinot Noir, selected from a number of parcels in the Wairau Valley, blended to create a defined yet delicate style. Fine bubbles and a pale pink colour. The aromas are of strawberry and cranberry, with subtle pot pourri and flint. The palate is explosive and abundant, with lashings of cherry fruit and sweet spice. Drink with smoked salmon or charcuterie canapés, sashimi or Peking duck.
