Blessed with a cool climate, abundant sunshine and free draining soil, the Marlborough wine growing district is world-renowned. Thornbury's vineyards located in the Wairau and Awatere valleys, produce Sauvignon Blanc that is attracting international acclaim for their vibrancy and freshness.

This Pinot Gris from Marlborough's Awatere Valley displays aromas of crisp pear, juicy ripe citrus and ginger notes. On the palate this fruit-driven wine displays fresh quince, apple, and subtle hints of sweet baking spice and lemon zest. Full-bodied yet bright on the palate, this this is a fresh, bright and richly textured wine with a long and lingering finish.

Sourced entirely from vineyards located in Southern Marlborough's spectacular Awatere Valley, this vibrant wine displays aromas of lemongrass, sweet capsicum and underlying notes of freshly crushed herbs. The palate is layered with flavours of sweet pineapple, crunchy green apple, and supporting notes of fresh lime and pink grapefruit. With outstanding fruit concentration balanced with zesty underlying minerality, this lively, fresh wine leads to a pure, and focused dry finish.

This Nelson Chardonnay displays aromas of lemon zest, ripe nectarine and subtle flinty, mineral notes from use of French oak. On the palate flavours of white peach, bright citrus and notes of toasted hazelnut take this medium bodied and elegantly textured wine to a lusciously long and persistent finish.

A delicate pale pink in the glass, this fresh and fruit-driven Pinot Noir Rosé displays aromas of summer berries with bright floral notes. On the palate watermelon and cranberry combine with subtle strawberries and cream. With notes of citrus and just a hint of sweetness, this finely balanced Rosé is delightfully elegant and refreshing.

Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels wines are crafted from vineyards within this small, sub-region of Hawke's Bay. Deposited by a wandering river, these unique, stony soils create exceptional wines of character and personality. This Chardonnay displays fragrant aromas of white nectarines, citrus blossom and lime zest that are complemented by hints of toasted nuts, flint, and savoury spices. It is refined and complex yet remains fresh and vibrant thanks to a fine acid backbone. These qualities, combined with tangy stone fruit/citrus flavours, integrated spicy/toasty oak results in a delicious palate with a salivating, lingering finish. A wine of balance, finesse and complexity that are the hallmarks of Trinity Hill Chardonnay.

Three steeply stepped, sun-baked terraces on the southern bank of the Awatere River inspired the name of a farm - Triplebank. Pale lemon-gold, the nose opens with ripe pear and apple aromas, and a spicy background. The palate is opulent with great concentration of orchard fruit, nutmeg and cinnamon notes on a broad, textural palate. The complex flavours carry through to a rounded and lengthy finish. Try matching this wine with rich dishes such as risotto bianco with parmesan, or pasta carbonara, alongside a rocket, pear and walnut salad.

A serious, concentrated and expressive wine, Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc flaunts a powerful bouquet of fresh herbs, tropical fruits and bright citrus.
