Our (almost) new Kingsland store is approaching its first birthday, and it’s time for a new face at the helm. For you regulars out there thinking, ‘what’s up with our Danielle?’ do not despair; Danielle has merely hopped the railway lines to head up our Newmarket Store. In charge at Kingsland from this month you’ll find Will McIntosh. When Will started with us two years ago, he applied for a job as a Barista at our Herne Bay Dida’s Food Store. It’s only now that he admits that it was just a ploy to get a foot in the door at Glengarry. What drew him to us? ‘It’s the family company, the size of the business and the focus,’ he says. Will grew up in Gisborne surrounded by the Wine industry, and had always had an interest in it. After college Will headed for bigger pastures to study for a Bachelor of Science, specialising in Forensics. Towards the end of that degree, he fortuitously met Richard Gardener, a professor in the Biology Department that was, at the time, enjoying a government grant to study yeast genetics, with a particular focus on New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Will freely admits that the fact the government had dropped $4 million into the project did grab his attention somewhat.

Drawn to Richard’s discourse, Will changed horses and finished his degree in Oenology, loving every minute of it. Will has enjoyed working for Glengarry, and in particular, learning all about the international wines we import. Ready for his next challenge, Will has been promoted to manager and is heading to Kingsland. He’s excited about the change, looking forward to learning all about craft beer and ready to meet his new community.

PEREGRINE FLYING THE UPWARD ARC

PEREGRINE CENTRAL OTAGO Chardonnay 2012 was $36.99 now

$29.99

17123

CASE OF 12 $29.49 A BOTTLE Whole bunch pressed, barrel fermented, put through malolactic and lees stirred to add greater dimension and depth. A complex wine with stonefruit aromas and flavours supported by toasty oak nuances. Full flavoured and silky textured, it finishes on an elegant citrus note.

PEREGRINE WINEMAKER NADINE CROSS

With auspicious beginnings, Peregrine’s inaugural 1998 Sauvignon Blanc won the Champion Trophy at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards. Since then the winery has continued its winning ways, amassing a hoard of domestic and international goodies for the trophy cabinet. The ultimate goal of owners Lindsay McLachlan and Greg Hay has been to produce hallmark Central Otago wines off their own organically certified vineyards, augmented with fruit from selected growers.

PEREGRINE CENTRAL OTAGO Pinot Gris 2012 was $29.00 now

Harvested in prime condition from the Cromwell Basin, Peregrine’s PG was cool fermented and lees-aged in stainless steel to retain freshness and textural complexity. Stonefruit and pear aromas are edged with mineral notes, while the off-dry palate explodes with tropical flavours tarted up with grapefruit and quietened slightly by firm acid. Appealingly sensuous.

With their eye locked firmly on sustainability, Peregrine are major sponsors of the Wingspan Birds of Prey Trust, an organisation dedicated to preserving endangered species, including New Zealand’s native falcon, the Karearea.

$19.99

17111

CASE OF 12 $19.49 A BOTTLE Sourced from half a dozen key vineyards in the Cromwell Basin, this opens proceedings with fragrant, floral-tinged notes of stonefruit and spice underpinned by a flicker of lemon. The long, intense palate displays a hint of sweetness balanced by refreshing lime accents, and bottle aging has allowed the wine to develop a lush viscous character that complements the plump apricot flavours.

17112

CASE OF 12 $24.49 A BOTTLE

The wines are crafted by Otago native Nadine Cross in a stunningly designed winery complex featuring a dramatic canopy evocative of a falcon’s wingspan. Nadine: ‘Our approach is along traditional lines, with minimal intervention and judicious use of oak to allow the unique flavours of Central Otago to shine through. Individual vineyards provide different characteristics, from which we are able to produce elegant, intensely flavoured wines’

17124

CASE OF 12 $36.99 A BOTTLE Pinot loves Central, the extremes in temperature being somewhat similar to those in Burgundy. The style produced here is markedly different, with a bucketful of charred cherries assailing the nose. A perfect example of the iron fist in the velvet glove: powerfully subtle, concentrated yet balanced, opulently restrained.

BENDIGO’S BRILLIANT BUBBLES

CECILIA BRUT NV

Though they refer to themselves as the House of Pinot Noir, the sparkling wines of Quartz Reef are among New Zealand’s very best. Austrian émigré Rudi Bauer has made himself right at home in the Bendigo sub-region of Central Otago since arriving back in 1985. Something of a pragmatist, Rudi’s sparkling project was a way of having a Plan B to fall back on if the Pinot didn’t fly. Fortunately for Rudi, they both worked, with the Quartz Reef Pinot Noir currently benchmark Bendigo and their méthodes featuring in any list of the New World’s top sparkling wines.

AKARUA

The Rockburn awards cupboard must be getting a tad full: year after year this winery wins acclaim for its vibrantly executed vinous triumphs, and when you’ve met the ultra-perfectionist Malcom ReesFrancis, the winemaker behind all this success, it comes as no surprise. One of Rockburn’s star attributes is, in fact, their sheer consistency. Here, lifted aromatics, silky textures, some anchoring earthy notes and just the right amount of oak, all integrated into a superbly harmonious whole.

Nothing short of a Central Otago fruit bowl, this is highly seductive and wonderfully affordable; Akarua’s drink-now model is extremely user-friendly, notes of cherry, violet and rosewater wafting in its wake as it travels the Silk Road with its bundle of spice. Fresh, fruity, juicy and good to go. Try it.

CASE OF 6 $21.49 A BOTTLE The delightfully eccentric Osborn family never fail to entertain as they combine their outstanding vinous abilities with a sense of marketing humour that finds their tongues constantly in their cheeks: The Love Grass grows wild in the vineyards, its sticky flowers clinging assiduously to passing vineyard workers. Here the hands-on approach includes small batch harvesting, foot treading and basket pressing. Savoury and spicy nuances and a long mineral finish beautifully augment the sweet fruit.

CASE OF 6 $27.49 A BOTTLE An outstanding wine, both a gold medallist and a trophy winner. The Mamre Brook has been in short supply of late, the Aussies opting to keep it to themselves, so we’re delighted to have secured ourselves a parcel of this legendary Australian. Sourced from old Barossa vines and matured for twenty-two months in French and American oak, it is superbly rich and intense, with layers of chocolate-infused berry flavours and supple tannins. How they do it for this price? Who knows.

Cabernet likes a fair amount of heat to ripen, something they’re not short of in Australia. This bursts out of the glass singing its ripe plum and cassis-lined blackberry notes, backed up by a deft touch of oak.

Often referred to as the Wynns Red stripe, this is all about balance, the cassis and mint notes courtesy of the Cabernet, the fruity plum characters coming via the Merlot and a dash of spice, thanks, from Mr Shiraz.

CASE OF 12 $24.49 A BOTTLE Spain is rapidly becoming the new Black, and pushing the vanguard of that renaissance is the gloriously talented and far-reaching Alvaro Palacios. He is, not to put too fine a point on it, quite brilliant, marrying esoteric rusticity with hillside herbs, wild berries and an earthy sensuality as he leads the Spanish twin embrace of old tradition and new technology. This? One of our top-selling Spaniards; a quick taste will tell you exactly why.

NICOLAS BOIRON

We couldn’t have dreamt up a better name for a wine, made by Gisborne’s James Millton, that has a little bit of just about everything in it. A blend of three organic and biodynamically-grown grape varieties (Malbec, Syrah and Viogner), it’s fined with egg whites sourced directly from James’ and Annie’s very own chooks. Fun, funky and wicked value.

CIDER DROUIN CRAFT GOVERNOR MASTERFUL BREWER, ANDREW PEACOCKE

Located in the heart of Auckland’s vibrant Grey Lynn community, the Governor Brewery was launched earlier this year by qualified Master Brewer Andrew Peacocke, his stated goal to produce a premium locally-brewed beer. With an apprenticeship at a Munich brewery and a brewing science degree under his belt, Andrew has spent useful time at a number of European outfits, including Guinness and Stella Artois. From his impressively set up premises, Andrew produces a highly authentic Munich lager.

CHRISTIAN DROUIN CIDRE BOUCHÉ BRUT 750ML SINGLE

Using Munich yeasts, this is a traditionally long, cool fermented lager with a clean golden colour and a persistent flow of tiny bubbles capped by a dense foamy head. The aromatics are engagingly present, displaying subtle floral and light hoppy nuances. Focused and balanced, with a smooth texture and a refreshing finish.

91522 GOVERNOR LAGER 500ML

Located in Normandy’s Pays d’Auge region, this L family-owned estate was established by Christian fam Drouin in 1960 when he purchased a cider apple Dro orchard and began producing exceptional calvados orch using usin traditional methods.

The Brut is a blend of about thirty apple varieties, with most bitter and rich in tannins that provide body, along with some sweeter, softer varieties for flavouring and balance. Light and fruity, it is an elegant, low-alcohol, semi-sparkling cider with a clean refreshing character. Can fly solo, but rather good when paired with pork or fish.

PAUL MAS SOUTH OF FRANCE

WAS $21.90 NOW DIDIER DAGUENEAU

DAGUENEAU POST-PR ANDIAL GENIUS The Sauvignon Blanc wines of the Loire’s risk-taking perfectionist Didier Dagueneau are legendary. Meeting an untimely end in a plane crash in 2008, his legacy has been kept alive by his family, and to this day Dagueneau’s Silex is hailed as the pinnacle of Sauvignon production. In 2002, Didier teamed up with his friend Guy Pautrat to produce benchmark dessert wines in the Jurançon region, located at the foot of the Pyrénées and home to some of the world’s great sweet wines. As with their Sauvignons, the Dagueneau approach to the enterprise involves exacting and uncompromising dedication.

SAUVIGNON BLANC 2011

WAS $31.90 NOW

The estate’s spectacular ampitheatre of terraced vineyards was the inspiration for the name of the wine. Here, the balance between sweetness and acidity is of paramount importance and is key to the region’s distinctive style, with the botrytised fruit picked as late as November. The variety is Petit Manseng, which thrives on the steep mountainous slopes. The wine itself is rich, full bodied, its sweet, viscous tendencies beautifully countered by a streak of natural acidity that is quite remarkable. An epic wine worthy of a great cellar.

Kevin Mitchell’s whole life has revolved around wine production; he was born and raised in the Clare Valley, playing and working in the vineyard with his father Mort. The Kilikanoon property Kevin purchased in 1997 included mature vines planted in the 1960s by Mort.

CASE OF 6 $13.49 A BOTTLE

Today Kilikanoon and its partners own or control over 2000 hectares of prime vineyards throughout South Australia. Kevin’s vision is to craft terroir-styled wines from low-yield, mature vineyards; which translates as careful maturation, with no fining, clarification or filtration.

COOKOOTHAMA

Since its initial releases, the winery has won countless awards. This includes the rather astounding feat of taking six of the seven trophies on offer at the 2002 Clare Valley Wine Show. In 2005, the astute Robert Parker described Kilikanoon thus: ‘This is one of the most brilliantly run wineries in Australia, and the quality of the entire portfolio is impressive thanks to the enviable talents of winemaker Kevin Mitchell.’
