Dog Point Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc NZ
Description: Pale green straw colour, with a lovely bouquet of tropical, ripe citrus fruits as well as hints of fresh herbs. The palate is rich and full bodied with juicy texture and fine acidic balance. Ideal with whites meats, seafood and oysters especially. The name Dog Point dates from the earliest European settlement of Marlborough and the introduction of sheep to the district. These were days of few fences, of boundary riders and boundary keeping dogs. Shepherds’ dogs sometimes became lost or wandered off and eventually bred into a marauding pack which attacked local flocks. Their home was a tussock and scrub covered hill, overlooking the Wairau Plains, designated by the early settlers as Dog Point. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £145.09
Willow Bridge BLACK DOG Shiraz Western Australia
Description: The wine is named the Black Dog because, according to the winemaker's son, the colour is as black as the inside of a dog. The fruit for this wine was harvested from the highest and stoniest part of the Ferguson Valley vineyard. Picked 10 days after the Estate Shiraz, the berries had attained great ripeness, colour and tannin structure. The wine was fermented in two separate tanks One had some wine run off for barrel fermentation, and in the other the wine was left on the skins for 4 weeks post-fermentation. The resultant wines were then run off to the finest oak barriques, mostly fine grained French and extra fine grained American oak. There were over 20 separate batches that were treated separately as the wine matured over 18 months. The resultant wine is deep in colour and rich, with round, ripe berry flavours and complex oak on the nose. The palate is huge and rich with loads of flavour, ripe tannins and a long, long finish. This is a big wine in all of its characteristics which somehow manages not to be over-extracted or broad.. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £153.37

Preece Chardonnay Victoria Australia
Description: Tasting Note Lively, fresh Chardonnay with intense peach, nectarine and lime flavours enriched with a dash of vanilla and a hint of creamed coconut on the finish. 14.4%. The whole Preece range is absolutely flying at the moment; winemaker Toby Barlow is at the top of his game with a network of great grape growers across Victoria providing him with some top quality fruit to play with. The key aspect of the Preece wines is the cool climate nature of the vineyards that provides ripe fruit with impeccable balance and freshness. This Chardonnay is a great example with enough richness and fruit to match dishes with creamy, buttery sauces but the sort of zip and zest that makes it a delicious, refreshing glass just on its own. Producer Profile Made at the Mitchelton winery in Victoria , the Preece wines take their name from Australian wine legend Colin Preece who was one of the first to spot and cultivate Victoria's potential for winemaking back in the early 1970s. The wines are made with all the care and attention to detail you'd expect of winemaker Toby Barlow and his team and reflect Victoria's cooler climate with an elegant, approachable style in contrast to the bigger blockbuster wines from elsewhere in Oz.
