This is the perfect wine to use in blind tasting as its colour will deceive even the savviest drinker. This is 100% Pinot Grigio that has been left on the skins to take on the colour and then aged in fig wood barrels. The result is outstanding. On the nose it has a really herbaceous character a hint of wormwood, nutmeg and iron. The palate is full and complex with notes of fig, forest floor and olive. This is a wine to drink with a simple plate of pasta with tomato sauce. You'll find herbaceous notes and mineral complexity here, but Bressan's skin-contact Pinot Grigio takes a completely different route to get there. Where Villa Maria dazzles with tropical fruit brightness and grassy freshness, this wine offers earthier aromatics—wormwood, nutmeg, forest floor—that share that green, savoury edge you love but in a more brooding, complex way. This is genuinely unusual and worth seeking out for its sheer individuality. The fig wood aging creates richness and texture that standard Pinot Grigio never achieves, and you'll discover how skin contact can transform a white wine into something with real depth and intrigue—a complete departure from straightforward fruit-forward drinking.

This mineral, fresh Sauvignon Blanc from Gerard Boulay offers aromas of pink grapefruit and kaffir lime leaves on the nose. The palate features ripe apricot notes and a crisp, flinty finish. Ideal with cured mackerel or fish pie. Gerard Boulay's Sancerre is pure Sauvignon Blanc like Villa Maria, but from the Loire Valley's limestone terroir rather than Marlborough's volcanic soils. You get that same citrus-forward profile—grapefruit, crisp acidity—plus flinty minerality that Villa Maria hints at, and the aromatic intensity you're drawn to translates here into kaffir lime and stone fruit complexity. Sancerre represents the Old World benchmark that inspired New Zealand's Sauvignon revolution, so you're tasting the original alongside the student. Chavignol's smaller, cooler vineyard sites produce even more elegant, restrained Sauvignon than broader Sancerre, giving you a chance to explore how terroir and tradition shape the same grape in profoundly different ways.

The Crossings sources its grapes from the riverside vineyards of the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand’s coolest and driest wine-growing region. This terroir delivers a crisp, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc that stays true to the classic Marlborough style. The Crossings sources from Marlborough's Awatere Valley—the same region as Villa Maria—so you're getting the true-blue Marlborough Sauvignon style you already love: vibrant, crisp, and varietal-true with that signature passionfruit and herbaceous character. This is a direct stylistic match, just from a different producer exploring the same cool-climate terroir. You'll discover how microclimates within Marlborough shape expression: Awatere is the region's coolest and driest pocket, so you can expect even more precision and mineral definition in your glass. It's a perfect way to deepen your understanding of the Marlborough phenomenon without abandoning the profile that hooked you in the first place.
