New Zealand
 The wines of Dog Point Vineyards have proved a real success for us in the past twelve months, especially amongst those looking for a realistic alternative to the over-priced Cloudy Bay wines. The long established success of Isabel Estate continues as does the continued popularity of one of my personal favourites Seresin Estate. Whilst the range is still dominated by the Sauvignon Blanc grape, we are looking to improve upon this with additions of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay to the list as well as some excellent Pinot Noir from Peregrine Wines in Central Otago. Moving further west but still staying in the ‘South Island’ is the range we offer from Tim and Judy Finn at Neudorf Vineyards in Moutere, Nelson. Nearly 30 years on from the planting of their first vines, the Finn’s have gained an international reputation for producing some of New Zealand’s finest and most sought after wines. Our allocations for these wines are limited and demand is always high, as a result we only have small quantities available through the year, which are sold on a first come first served basis. Due to the number of requests we have had from our customers, (to make this range available online) this year we have added the excellent Mansion House Bay wines. New for 2007 in addition to their sought after Sauvignon Blanc is a great Pinot Gris and Riesling. Well worth a try!

| Isabel Estate Chardonnay 2003 |

Price: £12.50

| Wine notes as supplied by the Isabel Estate archive;
Viticulture
The chardonnay block from which this wine came managed to escape the frost, so we worked hard in the vineyard to maximise the flavour spectrum. The vines were cropped and shoot-thinned, as well as leaf- plucked, to give the fruit sun exposure and intensity. We sought a combination of citrus and grapefruit characters, as well as a touch of honey and tropical notes.

Price: £10.95
|
| Wine Notes as supplied from the Isabel Estate archive:
Viticulture
A quite cool early spring lead to a very even and complete flowering and fruit set. As December rolled through, temperatures rose and canopies quickly filled out. February arrived and the temperatures dropped which lead to an extended ripening season. Leaf plucking to increase sun exposure into the fruit zone was done in early January. This combination allowed us to bri .. |
