We do not usually award 'Top Tips' to four star wines but there is not much semillon about and this is a very fine example and deserves to be applauded. There is delicious lemony freshness here with an oily texture and super concentration and length. Try it - so will not be disappointed. More

When we say that this wine has an easy drinking style it is meant as a compliment - it is a super fizz ideal for parties. It has very balanced fruit and yeast aromas with very ripe and soft fruit flavours leading to a long and persistent finish. Very enjoyable. More

A proper honeysuckle and petrol nose promises much and the palate certainly delivers with sweet, ripe, juicy, tropical shining through. The wine also has good balance, richness and excellent length. Great price too! More

Another tremendous Riesling from Pegasus Bay and this one is even under $20. Petrol and turkish delight aromas abound as do the tropical and apricot flavours. The classic spritz is also present and all wrapped up in a seamless acidity. Tangy persistent finish. More

Asparagus nuances are prevalent on the nose whilst the palate delivers savoury capsicum with an excellent and balanced acid backbone. This wine has developed well and is good with food too. More

Overall the best Merlot in the tasting. This wine has distinct forest floor aromas that succumb to lovely sweet fruit in the palate. The finish is dry and really persistent. Enjoy. More

Wow - a huge wine. Green apple and quince aromas do not really prepare you for the concentrated green apple almost confectionary flavours that follow. The acidity is firm and zingy and this is definitely a wine of great potential. Put some in the cellar. More

This rose has an absolutely fantastic colour. The nose is one rich berries and confectionary. Its flavours are clean, soft with good berry freshness combined with a decent acidity. Good value. More

Spinyback is essentially the second label of Waimea Estates and has a reputation for providing excellent value for money. This wine is no exception. It has tropical fruit aromas that are carried through to the palate where the fruit is sweet, ripe and juicy and the acidity is well balanced. Very good now and may well improve. More

Stone fruit, minerals and herbs on the nose and blackcurrants, nettles and citrus in the palate. The result is a big wine with strong acidity, weight and length. This sauvignon is going to last and improve. Put some in the cellar. More
