Jack Daniel’s is America’s oldest registered distillery, yet over the extensive reign of this iconic American brand there have been only seven individuals charged with overseeing the painstaking process of producing Tennessee’s Finest and extending its legacy of excellence. These chosen few have a heritage that runs back to Jack Daniel himself. To honour the masterful level of craftsmanship displayed by these men, this month sees the launch of a very special collection from Jack Daniel’s: the Master Distiller Series. The seven Jack Daniel’s Master Distillers they pay tribute to are: Jack Daniel, 1866-1911; Jess Motlow, 1911-1941; Lem Tolley, 1941-1964; Jess Gamble, 1964-1966; Frank Bobo, 1966-1988; Jimmy Bedford, 1988-2008; Jeff Arnett, 2008-Present.

Master Distiller No 1 is the first of this series, beginning, of course, with Jack Daniel himself, in a celebration of the golden age when his unique recipe and high-level craftsmanship practices were first initiated. This is strictly a Limited Edition Series, with one-time-only bottlings for each of the seven, and with so many aficionados of Jack out there (me included), I don’t expect this one to make it to Christmas Day on our shelves. Be in.

It’s Old No 7 as you know it, but with a higher ABV of 43%. As those in the know will be well aware, that makes it perfect for sipping, and that’s just the way Jack Daniel himself liked his Jack. Given that this is, after all, a tribute to the aforementioned gentleman, sipping it has to make perfect sense, doesn’t it.

Irresistible.
PIPER-HEIDSIECK
The oldest of the three Heidsieck champagne houses, Piper-Heidsieck was founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck. Ambitious to make his mark, F-L created a cuvée which he dedicated and presented in person to Queen Marie-Antoinette, a patronage one assumes was, at a certain point, abruptly severed. Florens-Louis died in 1828, and his nephew, Christian Heidsieck, went into partnership with Henri-Guillaume Piper, an energetic entrepreneur who did much to champion champagne throughout the world. Christian died suddenly in 1835, and three years later his widow married Henri-Guillaume and the company became known as PiperHeidsieck. In more modern times, Piper-Heidsieck has established itself as one of champagne’s most consistent and reliable expressions. Under the guidance of Head Winemaker Regis Camus the company has won countless awards and medals, with Camus and his team named Winemaker of the Year a staggering number of times at the International Wine Challenge, a feat encompassing the last seven years in a row. In 2011, the prestigious FINE Champagne magazine awarded the Piper-Heidsieck Rare first place in its Best 100 Champagnes list. Under the astute direction of Camus, Piper-Heidsieck’s crisply fresh and radiantly vivacious expressions have ascended, in both quality and stature, to a very high level of excellence.

This is Piper’s pièce de résistance, a 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir blend that’ll age beautifully for decades. Rich, complex, intense, it nonetheless evokes crisp and ethereal as well. Extraordinary bottle.

PEREL ADA The Perelada castle houses Spain’s largest privately-held library, within which parchments detail wine-making practices that date back to the Middle Ages. With the viticultural part of the Perelada activities revitalised in the 1920s, and much fame achieved in the 1960s, this is one of Spain’s most significant producers, the wines a scintillating blend of centuries’ worth of knowledge and cuttingedge modernism. The Perelada wines have almost become standard issue at royal and government functions, such is their consistent quality and the esteem in which they are held.

CASE OF 12 $19.49 A BOTTLE
Wine’s a funny thing; its history dates back thousands of years, yet it seems that every time we take a look there is something new – a surprising, underutilized variety, a fresh way of doing the old – to keep it exciting and stop us all from falling asleep in our daiquiris. And so, in a month that sees New Zealand present its fashion culture to the world, we thought it appropriate to shine a light on what’s trending in our world: the transition of rosé to a year-round tipple, the edgy new varieties, the dynamic, brave new world that is South America and its food-loving wines, the timely rise of organic and biodynamic offerings and our fastest-growing category, cider. Enjoy.
100% hand-picked Waiheke Island fruit that’s been carefully fashioned, this could easily fetch double the dollars. Bright, limpid pools of crimson delight the eye, while the flavours are tropically tinged – cherries and berries, mainly, and plums. The lush flavours are tempered by stringent control; with good acid, this is refreshing but still substantial. It’s tart, then, with enough stuffing to justify the unwrapping and general handing around of the cold meats.

Add in the Jules Taylor winemaking skills and it’s a match made in, well, Gisborne, actually. Strawberries and cream, ripe raspberries, wild herbs; a pannier of pleasure.

Central rosés are becoming an extinct breed; one minute they’re there and the next they’re gone. Here’s one, though: bright raspberry hues herald aromas of sherbet and boiled red sweets that sidle onto the palate, where cherries and raspberries dance about the mouth in lively fashion before it all draws to a crisp, refreshing climax.
Pinot Meunier is the grape of choice here. A base varietal in the production of France’s mighty champagnes, it’s not particularly common to see it out on the town all by itself; yet in a rosé it works, by golly. A rich and luscious mouthfeel, with a touch of Framboise, rosewater and jasmine embraced by a juicy acidity that provides a handy dose of balance and length.

The key with Chilean red varieties is not the struggle to get them ripe, but preventing them from over-cooking. Montes are longtime past masters. The Alpha is plummy but not baked, fragrant but not overtly soft. A savoury style of wine, if you like Cabernet and are looking for something a little different, give this a go. Will continue to develop for another 2-3 years in bottle.

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 flavour and balance. Light and fruity, it is an elegant, lowalcohol, semi-sparkling cider with a clean refreshing character. Can fly solo, but rather good when paired with pork or fish.
Plenty of sun in Nelson to kick this sparkling, mediumdry traditional cider along. Carefully fashioned by the region’s craft-oriented McCashin family, the Rochdale is the perfect anytime drink with its well-rounded flavours and light, crisp finish.

VOUVRAY
The Bourillon family have been making wine at Rochecorbon, in the Vouvray appellation of the Loire Valley, for generations. Records show the estate was founded as far back as 1875, but it was not until 1921 that it was organised as it is today by Gaston Dorléans. Still very much a family concern, the domaine is today run by Gaston’s great grandson, Frédéric Bourillon, who has consolidated the family’s 26.5-hectares of vineyards and constructed a modern winery complex to service them. The Bourillons continue to make their wines using a traditional approach, with the immaculate Rochecorbon vineyards sustainably managed and the Chenin Blanc fruit for their highly characteristic Vouvray wines hand harvested and matured in the medieval caves alongside the winery.

30-year-old vines, an alluring bouquet of spicy floral aromas with underlying notes of quince and honey. The medium-dry palate delivers complex layers of fruit; a touch of minerality and a swirl of lime add to the magic. Wonderfully polished.

CASE OF 12 $24.49 A BOTTLE Bourillon-Dorléans are leading-edge practitioners in Vouvrayland, with owner-winemaker Frederic Bourillon quite the character. In contrast to his smile-inducing but somewhat brash nature, the wines abound with signs of elegance and finesse. Exclusively Chenin Blanc, this is a great alternative to Chardonnay, the honeyed palate weighty, with nuances of chalk and lime and a mouth-tingling texture, all signed off with a stunningly long finish.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2012
B A R O S S A VA L L E Y B R I L L I A N C E Included by Robert Parker in the World’s Top 100 wine companies, Torbreck was established in the mid-1990s when ex-lumberjack David Powell began to nurture back to life a few plots of near lifeless, drygrown old vines in the Barossa Valley, in time harvesting enough grapes to make his first batch of wine. His low-yielding Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre wines are made utilising traditional methods and minimal intervention. Torbreck also makes white wines from the Rhône varietals Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. In 2002, Torbeck bought the historic Hillside vineyard, one of the Barossa’s original properties, and in 2008 a new winery was completed. The facility includes temperature-controlled cellars and a bottling line for the estate wines that are redefining the expectations of what the Barossa Valley can offer.

CASE OF 12 $29.49 A BOTTLE This is a fantastic time to be purchasing what is already, traditionally, a very good wine. The reason? the current Woodcutter’s Shiraz is using declassifi ed fruit normally reserved for Torbreck’s stunning premium expressions (the RunRig, the Struie et al), as these wines are not being produced in this season. Hence we have added opulence and complexity, with twelve months in seasoned oak barrels and bottling without fining or filtration. Beautifully integrated, undeniably elegant. Buy now.
