Rietvallei Estate Sauvignon Blanc
To create this fresh and deliciously vibrant, aromatic and dry wine, they cleverly harvested an early picking of Sauvignon Blanc to maximise citrus flavours and then a week later, they had a second picking of riper and more intense grapes to add tropical fruit flavours. The combined blend results in a white that is lively and finely balanced. Flinty mineral notes backed by ripe green figs and grapefruit on the palate make this a cracker of a wine.More best current price is £7.95 from

2006 Sauvignon, Neudorf Estate, Nelson
Great wines have a basis of fruit concentration, length and sense of place - characters which can be formed only in the vineyard. The team at Neudorf believe their primary task is to grow grapes which express the site, to take the essence of that fruit and then preserve it as wine. On the way they may fine tune the balance and complexity in a number of ways but the aim is always to allow the site to speak. Tim Finn, winemaker This is a supremely elegant Sauvy with creamy length yet fresh, ripe fruit...More best current price is £9.99 from
