Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe peach abound, with subtle undertones of buttery oak and a refreshing citrus acid backbone, adding layers of complexity. A balance of fresh fruit, malolactic and oak influences have resulted in a full bodied wine with stone fruit flavours, buttery, nutty notes and Meyer lemon freshness.

One of our absolute faves here at Regional Wines. Central Otago based, Austrian born and bred winemaker Rudi Bauer is the mastermind behind the stunning wines at Quartz Reef winery, which he founded and then furthered his own career by studying biodynamics and organics. All of his Quartz Reef wines are certified by both BioGro and Demeter for biodynamic production.

The grapes for this Blanc de Blanc were hand picked and had their second fermentation in bottle followed by 60 months aging on lees. It was riddled and disgorged by hand and has refreshing citrus notes and irresistible bakery aromas which highlight the great suitability of world's southernmost wine region for sparkling wine production.

This is a great example of world class méthode traditionnelle.

Kumeu River Wines is New Zealand's top Chardonnay producer and best known globally. 

Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay is the flagship white from the winery. It is made from  grapes grown on six different vineyard sites in Kumeu and is consistently one of New Zealand's greatest dry, full bodied whites with outstanding freshness and complexity.

The winery is in the West Auckland village of Kumeu where it began life as San Marino Wines in 1944 when Croatian immigrant couple, Mick and Kat? Brajkovich, bought a small property with a vineyard on it. Their descendents now own and run Kumeu River Wines, which produces 250,000 bottles of wine annually from its owns 30 hectares of vineyards in Kumeu and from another 10 hectares, owned by local grape growers. 

Villa Sandi Prosecco is one of our staff favourites here at Regional Wines and it excelled in a blind tasting, which highlighted its fresh white fruit flavours and beautiful balance from cool temperature fermentation in stainless steel.  It has 11% ABV and 17 grams per litre of residual sugar - making it off dry in taste but with great balance so that it finishes on a dry taste note. 

The quality of Villa Sandi Prosecco is consistently high and this wine rated 92/100 with Falstaff.

Villa Sandi is situated in the rolling green hills of the Marca Trevigiana area in the Veneto region of north east Italy - the home of Prosecco.

The Abarino Brothers consist of winemaker Ollie Powrie, Shaye Bird and Ant Saunders who all share a passion for Albarino and a wealth of experience in the NZ wine industry. This is their Gisborne release with oodles of varietal typicity in the form of zingy zesty flavours, bright acidity and a splash of salinity. The perfect match for seafood.

A 100% agave reposado tequila aged for 4-6 months in 190 litre casks previously used to age whiskey at the Early Times Distillery in Kentucky and the Jack Daniel?s Distillery in Tennessee.

Nose: Sea salty, herbal floral nose with hints of vanilla.

Palate: Salty, spicy.

Finish: Vanilla emerges alongside pleasant vegetable notes and gives way to a finish dominated by cracked black pepper.

Beautiful dark and juicy flavours in this lively Cotes du Rhone, which offers great value for money and also offers a complex look at the smooth, appealing structure and velvet mouthfeel of wines from the southern Rhone Valley. 

Even more appeal, the Chapoutier wine team now seals with lovely red with a screw cap to ensure it tastes just the way it did when it was made at the winery. 

"Red Mead" is a stunning medium sweet mead and fruit wine (technically melomel). It is made from native honey (including Manuka honey), with the fruitiness of boysenberry and the richness of plum. It can be served at room temperature or chilled. We expect it will make a great Sangria.

Wintermede is a silky, rich, traditional, sweet dessert style honey wine, made from Manuka honey blended with other exquisite New Zealand native honeys to give depth, spice, and balance.

Wintermede is best served at a cool room temperature.

Wintermede can be enjoyed with a cheese board, mulled (with or without added spices), or instead of port or sherry, as well as with dessert.

Wintermede has won two gold medals and "Best white wine" trophy at international competition.

This is a light, dry and fresh Pinot Gris with flavours of white fruit and a lingering finish. Good value. 

Amberine NZ Whisky Barrel-Aged Belgian Quadruple was aged for 14 months in NZ Whisky Co casks. This nut brown Belgian ale has ruby highlights and an off-white head. Toffee, single malt, and a savoury red wine component greet the nose and it offers vinous and complicated deep sugar notes, Belgian yeast character, single malt whisky and light oakiness, with a lingering red-wine finish.

These beers will age gracefully for many years, but are fabulous right now. Do not serve cold! Treat it like you would a port or red wine and serve it in an elegant glass. Enjoy it in your bubble for any reason to celebrate.

12% ABV.

Don’t be deceived, sometimes things are not what they seem. 

The modest strength on the can belies the flavour within. A complex selection of malts and generous dose of Sauvin and Simcoe hops create a light but satisfying beer that punches well above its weight. 

A true sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Session IPA - 2.2% ABV

Forget clarity, there's nothing clean cut about this beer. This is a Pale Ale amplified and distorted in a wall of haze and hop feedback. Galaxy, Nelson and Mosaic riffs drift in a warm fuzz of juicy malt and tropical fruit noise. Plug it in, dial it up, crack the can. It's fuzzy ugly and you love it. Originally brewed in collaboration with Sydney's rock god pizza tossers Frankies.
