2011 Loveblock Marlborough
Gewurztraminer
Ripe orange, lychee, rose petals and acid
give a well-structured wine which will
improve even more with age.
$23.95

Zephyr Gewurztraminer 2012
Contra to belief, Gewurztraminer is
not just for Asian food. It has an appeal
much further than that and can be
served for dessert with homemade
gingerbread, blue cheese and quince
paste.
$22.50

popular variety.

Invivo Belle Sauvignon Blanc
Fresh cut pineapple and passion fruit with
racy limes hitting both nose and palate,
Invivo Belle is deceptive in its power and
has great length. Belle will accompany a
wide range of cuisine and excel with light
salads and pasta dishes, all with just 79
calories per glass!
$19.95

Dog Point Vineyard Sauvignon
Blanc 2012
Very attractive wine that begs you to have
a second glass ... and a third.
