LAGO Rosé from the northern Portugal appellation of Vinho Verde, is made from a single red varietal 100% Vinhao. A kiss of strawberry and red cherry with a slight effervescence that is refreshingly off dry. Experience the taste of living your best life with less calories for lighter, better living.

91 Points, James Suckling: "Vibrant, fruity nose with lifted violets, sweet spices and dark cherries. Round and supple on the palate with a fluid, fleshy mid-palate that's saturated with fruit, connecting the fruity entry with a focused, fruit-expressive finish. The tannins are soft and creamy." (March 2023)

Intense cherry red colour, clean, bright. Intense aromas, red fruits, blackberries and blueberries. Floral hints, with reminiscence of violets. Pleasant, with sweet and round tannin, homogeneous. Fruity aftertaste.

The Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc showcases everything fresh and vibrant about Marlborough. Initially, the classic Awatere aromas jump out of the glass, such as lemongrass, jalapeño peppers and fresh herbs. The cool climate in the Awatere Valley is influenced by Mt Tapuae-o-uenuku and the cool alpine winds and fresh sea breezes protect the natural acidity in this wine. In contrast, the Wairau Valley has warmer summer months, with dry nor-westerly winds influencing vineyards to produce a pungent Sauvignon Blanc with ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavours.

Back for another season, the Bartier Rose is a study in master winemaking as Michael Bartier is the master! Dry and fruity, structured yet soft, a sip equals a flavour universe, with linger and contemplation all there to enjoy. Try it with spring/summer salads.

92 Points, Wine Spectator: "This vibrant white offers a laser beam of passion fruit, lime, and pomelo flavors that are accented by aromatic details of lemongrass and lemon verbena, plus a hint of litsea oil, with grilled lemon and floral details on a fresh, juicy frame. Drink now." (July 2023)

Bold citrus aromas are complemented by the freshness of snow pea, nettles and tropical guava. Juicy citrus flavours are balanced by crisp acidity, which drives the wine and highlights the delicate tropical fruit flavours. A hint of minerality provides purity and texture, before leading into the long, refreshing finish.

95 Points, New World Wine Awards: "A stunning expression of the variety; the gorgeously aromatic bouquet shows grapefruit, rock melon, lime peel and passionfruit characters, leading to an impressively concentrated palate that's vibrant and flavoursome. The wine offers outstanding fruit purity and power, finishing persistent and delicious." (December 2022)

Deep crimson color with ruby hue. Ripe profile of ripe plum & cherry with a hint of christmas fruitcake. Full- bodied, silky texture with fine tannins that melt with the soft acidity.

90 Points, James Suckling: "Walnuts, oyster shells, cocoa, dark plums, and baked blueberries on the nose. Medium-bodied with powdery tannins and juicy, creamy fruit. Drink now." (March 2023)

A fine floral bouquet with hints of aromatic herbs and citrus fruits leads to an elegant and fresh palate with a savoury marine touch on the finish. Rovereto is a well-situated, historical sub-zone of Gavi. Animating and super-attractive white, this is refreshing and very versatile with food.

98 Points, Luca Maroni: "A smooth and sensuous red wine blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot with the balance in Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah wine grapes. This wine is easy to love and is dry, medium-plus-bodied and well-balanced. As the name suggests, it is made using the governo method of partially drying a portion of the grapes prior to winemaking adding extra richness and a lush mouthfeel. Delicious!" (September 2022)
