Pronounced lmongrass and lemon rind notes without becoming "Squirt." Satisfying complement to Thai food.

A straightforward, easy-drinking Chardonnay from one of New Zealand’s best Chardonnay producers. Peach, pineapple and citrus fruits give a round impression on the palate, finishing with a tart edge. Drink now. 1 Note

Starts off citrusy, but those notes are rounded out by ripe apple and melon flavors. This off-dry, round-in-the-mouth Pinot Gris then picks up subtle spice and pepper notes on the finish. 1 Note

This perennial favorite is a hit again. There’s all the ingredients you expect in Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc: intense green herbs, tropical fruit, and a long, crisp finish. 1 Note

Almost translucent, with a mixed-spice nose that doesn't offer much fruit. It's got some strawberry and rasberry flavors, but it's also slightly sour. Milk chocolate shows up on the finish, which is otherwise overly oaky. Lacks polish. 1 Note

The 2008 Palliser Estate SB is an interesting blend of ripe fig and melon fruit with grassier notes that finish on capsicum (bell pepper) notes. It’s round and weighty enough to pair with some slightly richer dishes, like herbed chicken, not just seafood. 1 Note

The entry-level Chardonnay from Kumeu River gives just a taste of what heights its Chardonnays can achieve. With only one third aged in oak, the wine comes across as rather fruity and direct, with pleasant pear, pineapple and melon flavors and a round, easygoing style. 1 Note

Ostensibly the second label of Palliser Estate, the 2007 Pencarrow shows plenty of plum, earth and coffee aromas and flavors, a brawny, rustic style and a concentrated, slightly tannic finish. It should drink well for 5–6 years. 1 Note

A medium-bodied, off-dry rendition of Riesling, Peregrine’s 2007 features hints of peachy ripeness to go along with its stricter lime notes. Finishes crisp, verging on hard. 1 Note
