Ka Tahi Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015, $15

Wow! Super-fruity and loaded with lemon, peach, passionfruit and lime, this is a snappy sauvignon that will really please the crowds. It's not an intellectual wine by any stretch, it's just a 'make sure you serve it chilled to enhance the tangy texture'.

For stockists near you, contact wayne@katahiwines.com

Neudorf Maggies Block Nelson Pinot Gris 2015, $26

The thing that really impressed me was the immediate aromatic hit of baked apple, crushed seashells and spice. It's a lean, dry, ultra-clean style of pinot gris that has tightwire acidity on the palate and a long, chalky finish. I'd be sipping this with slow-cooked pork belly with apple sauce. Delish. www.neudorf.co.nz

Greystone Waipara Sauvignon Blanc 2015, $22

This is one seriously tropical, juicy, succulent sauvignon blanc from the nor'wester- buffetted, limestone-laden slopes of North Canterbury. Deeply textural, powdery and mineral-edged, there's a wildly tasty wave of nectarine, preserved lemon and crushed green herbs in every mouthful. Winemaker Dom Maxwell is an evil genius and I'll definitely be buying more of this.
