This intensely concentrated Sauvignon Blanc comes from a vineyard just 14 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. Expect aromas of passionfruit and nettle, musk, smoke and grass clippings with undertones of sweet lively citrus. The palate is not shy, creamy potent fruit is layered with toasted nuts, spice, lees and citrus zest which carries across the finish. This is quite a muscular Sauvignon Blanc with a mouth-watering finish.

Delicious - if you liked the 2008, the 2009 will not disappoint!
Luscious and seductive, it launches with aromas of sweet cherries, vanilla, rich chocolate mocha, violets and banana harnessed by a core of saddle leather and sunbaked earth. The palate follows suit with sweet ripe fruit, molasses, espresso and mocha with vanilla and baking spice. Nicely weighted, very approachable with a long smooth and clingy finish.
It's a concentrated international style red wine.

Chapel Hill is named for the two chapels which stand on the summit of the volcanic hill Balatonboglar, to commemorate the end of Turkish occupation in the 19th century.
Here is a wine that is a crowd pleaser - especially those who like their wine ripe and fruity and are on a budget.
This wine is smells like plum fruitcake, sweet spice and molten dark chocolate. The palate is a bit more reserved though - cherries and berries, spice, mocha and fresh herbal flavours. Balanced acidity and a dry finish that lingers with cocoa and fine spice flavours.

From the southern reaches of Argentina, Patagonia is becoming known as a region for producing some impressive cooler-climate wines.
The Saurus offers fragrant raspberry and cherry, baking spice, candied violets and chocolaty notes. The palate is silky with plenty of lively acidity and there are similar berry, spice and cedar flavours lingering across the finish.
Suitable for richer fish dishes or wild mushroom ravioli.

Made from 100% Torrontes (Argentina's signature white grape) this effervescent pops with tropical and orchard stone fruits, turkish delight and honeysuckle with sweet citric notes. The palate echoes its nose - similar sweet stone fruit, honey and lime citrus is wrapped in fizzy bubbles. It is a sweet bubbly with nice acidity to add some verve.
