Invivo Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015 $22

Prepare yourself for a smash-up of snappy, crunchy capsicum, crushed basil, lemon sorbet and tropical tangy-ness. This great sauvignon is clean, precise and pure, ticking all boxes for stylish summer sipping. Don't serve it too cold, otherwise all those fruity characters will be masked. Just an hour in the fridge. invivowines.com

Mudhouse Dambuster Marlborough Pinot Noir 2014 $39

This is the first single-vineyard release to come from the clay soils of their new Woolshed vineyard near the Delta Dam. Originally an old RNZAF base on land no good for cropping, this patch of dirt is more than proving itself in vines. Succulent and saucy, you can expect fresh cherry and red berry flavours, gentle spices, layers of savoury complexity and a plush, velvety mouthfeel. glengarrywines.co.nz

Caldora Sangiovese IGT $25
