ROGER PARKINSON

One of the great things about Nga Waka is that they’ve been around a while, originally getting the ball rolling back in 1988, Roger Parkinson and his team able to carve a distinct niche as winemakers of quality and individuality, drawing upon what is now some serious vine age. Named after Nga Waka a Kupe, the three hills that form the distinctive backdrop to Martinborough, the concept for the winery had its genesis in Paris in the 1970s, where career diplomat Gordon Parkinson developed a fascination for wine that rubbed off on his 14-year-old son, Roger. When the family purchased their first vineyard block and founded the Nga Waka Winery in the mid-1980s, there were only four wineries and vineyards in Martinborough. Today, Nga Waka control six individual vineyards, with each one offering its own distinctive characteristics. ‘I saw the difference on our Home Block vines at about fifteen years,’ says Roger, ‘where the varietal character of the fruit starts to become somewhat less important, but more interesting because of richness, balance and texture, all the things that are critical for food wines.’ Nga Waka’s Three Paddles wines deliver great value, approachable, fruit-forward styles. The Nga Waka range undergo longer maturation and have excellent cellaring potential, while the single vineyard, terroir-driven wines are produced exclusively from older vineyard blocks. Nga Waka’s distinctive expressions have deservedly attained a global reputation for their quality and consistency. If you haven’t tried them, you really should.

$16.99

Nga Waka consistently produce a line of food-friendly Sauvignon Blanc wines, with the passionfruit and capsicum varietal characters enlivened by an underlying mineral presence. 17578

An elegantly dry Riesling, the lime and mineral notes underscored by a hint of spiciness. Added time in the bottle has allowed the wine to develop extra nuances and it is currently drinking beautifully. 17580

Single vineyard, unfined, unfiltered and matured for twelve months in French oak. With no shortage of depth, richness, complexity and textural presence, this will reward five or more years of cellaring.

Roger Parkinson does Chardonnay particularly well. Vivid stonefruit flavours are underpinned by subtle oak, malo and barrel fermentation characters. Weighty and textural, this will cellar nicely for 3-5 years.

CASE OF 6 $35.99 A BOT TLE

This prestige cuvée has captivated the imagination of champagne lovers since the 1930s. Dom Pérignon himself was a supremely innovative cellar master at the Benedictine abbey in Hautvillers during the late 1600s, pioneering blending, perfecting the art of producing clear white wines from black grapes, enhancing the induction of secondary fermentation and introducing the use of corks, along with thicker glass to strengthen bottles that were prone to exploding. As an exclusively vintage champagne, Dom is only produced in standout years, the core a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from the eight historical Grands Crus, Aÿ, Bouzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize and Le Mesnil, plus the legendary Hautvillers Premier Cru. Dom Pérignon has the unique privilege of being able to select grapes from all 17 Grands Crus in Champagne. At auction, its historic vintages are recordsetters. It is aged on lees for a minimum of seven years, more than double the time required by law, with the P2, or Second Plenitude series taking the concept of lees-aging to a whole new level.

Like its Pelorus stablemates, this is a beautifully crafted sparkling wine, displaying spice-edged characters of soft summer fruits with a hint of toast. Silky, fresh and elegant. 16302

RICHARD EMERSON

With an abundance of craft brewers now on the market, we’re delighted to tip our hat to one of the Kiwi originals. Richard Emerson returned to NZ in 1992 with a newly acquired thirst for the brews he’d become accustomed to enjoying overseas. In the Land of No. 8 Wire, what else was a good Kiwi boy going to do but put his food science skills to good use and start experimenting. These days Emerson’s are still based in Dunedin where they began, they’re just a little larger and swankier now, but still very much craft-oriented and turning out the smaller, more experimental brews. The hallmark of the Emerson’s range is vibrant flavours married with evocative aromatics, all of them distinctively balanced and true to their ideals.

Cognac? It’s the Bugatti of brandy, basically. This subtle and complex, somewhat magical elixir is produced under very strict regulation in the French region of Cognac, double-distilled using copper pot stills prior to aging in French oak from Limousin or Tronçais. The approved list of grapes (primarily Ungi Blanc) are grown in the six demarcated zones surrounding the town of Cognac. During maturation (which is often longer than the prescribed minimum of two years), the brandy absorbs tannin and vanilla from the oak and, as it matures, some of the alcohol slowly evaporates. This is often referred to as the angels’ share. The final stage that establishes the style and quality of the cognac consists of blending spirits from different-aged casks and different vintages and zones. The various categories reflect the time each cognac has spent in barrel. VS (Very Special) cognacs are aged for two years. VSOP (Very Special Old Pale) for at least four years. XO cognacs must be at least six years old, but the finest contain much older cask-aged spirits. The best are incomparable; no other grape-based spirit has the subtlety of bouquet, depth, fruitiness and complexity of flavours.

CHÂTEAU AIMÉE MÉDOC

Located within the Margaux appellation, Château Kirwan was accorded the first of the Third Growth titles in the famed classification of the Médoc in 1855. Now over 400 years old, the property was acquired in 1751 by Irishman Mark Kirwan, who renamed it, naturally enough, Château Kirwan, and set about elevating its standards to good effect. The château has been owned since 1904 by prominent Bordeaux merchants, the Schyler family, with members of successive generations overseeing its management. The Kirwan expressions display excellent concentration and well-defined fruit profiles, while retaining the sumptuous character that is a hallmark of the Margaux wines. They are some of the most powerful and elegant to be found within this famous appellation.

Founded in 1950, Puglia’s Rivera winery is owned by the de Corato family, and is positioned firmly on the world stage as a benchmark producer of Puglian wine, the area otherwise known as the heel of the Italian boot. While the company’s range is extensive, it was the potential of the DOC Castel del Monte that attracted the de Coratos to the area, and it forms the basis of the wines Rivera make today. They own 85 hectares of vineyards planted in indigenous Puglian varieties, along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Here, the old traditions mingle with the modern, the de Corato eyes fixed firmly on the future.
