Weekends like this are for being industrious, for using every second to make progress on important projects like figuring out the fastest way to have these wines arrive on your doorstep ...
1. Soho Stella Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Winemaker Dave Clouston has crafted this sub-regional blend, inspired by eco-conscious
fashion doyen Stella McCartney. Zingy, herbaceous and nettle-like notes pierce the nose and the mouth bursts with ripe passionfruit, racy lime and lingering, gum-tingling acidity. It's streamlined, cool and collected and will perk up even the most jaded palate.
Price: $24
2. Gemtree Vineyards McLaren Vale Uncut Shiraz 2012
In winespeak, "uncut" means there's nothing added from vineyard to bottle. This ultra-dense, luxurious red positively saturates your taste buds with Christmas cake spices, coffee and cocoa. Cracked pepper and dried herbs add to an already long, cuddly finish. Proceeds from the sale of every bottle go towards regenerating the native wetlands on their property. Nice.
Price: $27
3. Vinoptima Ormond Gewurztraminer 2010
