I think that readers will know the story by now. I was approached by Laithwaites – the longest-running \u2018wine subscription service\u2019 in the world, to review their offerings, and once every couple of months I\u2019ll be sent a box of wines. I don\u2019t choose these, so it is always a treat to open and see what I have in front of me. There\u2019s always – every time – at least one wine that I wouldn\u2019t have thought to pick for myself, so it is lovely to have these boxes arrive and surprise me. This time the wines are no different – with a mix of whites and reds, and a sparkling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In the time I\u2019ve been getting a look at their products I have to say I\u2019ve been impressed with the quality and range on offer. If you\u2019re accustomed to buying your wine from a major outlet – a high street bottle shop or a supermarket let\u2019s say – then I would recommend having a browse of the Laithwaites website – laithwaites.co.nz<\/a> and trying one of their mixed starter boxes. Take yourself on a journey of discovery.<\/p>

These are the wines from the box that arrived in June\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

McPherson \u2018Bubbly Personality\u2019 Sparkling 2023.\u00a0<\/b>Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (your classic sparkling combination) by Jo Nash and the team at McPherson Wines. The bubbles are quite vigorous, in a busy rush of fine creaminess. Perfumed with crisp fruit – lemon, white peach, greengage and strawberry, with plenty of yeasty baking spice and jasmine florals. A good balance of bright upfront fruit and deeper structural elements that offer elegance and complexity. An essential party starter. 89pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Domaine de Paris Cotes de Provence Ros\u00e9 2021.\u00a0<\/b>Ros\u00e9 from Provence tends to set the tone for the world stage – the modern lightness of coral pink colour and dry palate came from how the southern French made theirs – and the world copied. Here\u2019s one made from 50 year old Syrah and Grenache vines. That ideal \u2018strawberries and cream\u2019 is also here (the flavour and the texture). Elegantly dry and crisp, there is acidity and a generous red berry fruit right to the zippy, mouthwatering finish. 91pts<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Credaro Family Estate \u2018Five Tales\u2019 Margaret River Chardonnay 2021<\/b>. This will be a pleaser for NZ tastebuds. Where many top Aussie Chardonnays have turned steely and lean, this one from an excellent grower has plenty of generous tropical fruits to go with the citrus and stonefruit flavours. Even a touch of caramel, almond and vanilla from the oak adds weight and depth. Succulent and with a creamy texture, there is also a fine line of acidity that keeps everything moving along. Baking spices feature, and all the way there is balance and finesse. The finish is clean, long and dry. 93pts<\/b><\/p>

Marauding Vintners \u2018Miss Grigio\u2019 Pinot Grigio 2023.\u00a0<\/b>Packed with crisp, bountiful flavours so typical of the variety – pear, brioche, ginger, lychee, grapefruit and honeysuckle. I\u2019d served this well chilled as an aperitif. The palate has great flow from the zesty acidity, and there is a move from that steely green entry, into warmer, baking spice and breadcrumb notes as the wine evolves. I also liked the way that the texture gradually encircled all the fruit, giving a smooth, elegant finish. A great food wine – at any time of year. 88pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Black Pig “The Prize” McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021.\u00a0<\/b>Another in the line of very good South Australian Shiraz that Laithwaites offer from this label. The colour oozes richness – a dense dark purple. There is plum, boysenberry, black pepper and blackberry on the nose. A bold, full-bodied red that has that certain milk cocoa note that defines McLaren Vale, but also a bit of smoky spice as well. Plenty of toasty oak and generous tannin add backbone to that glossy juiciness. 91pts<\/b><\/p>

Elderton \u2018East Wing\u2019 Barossa Shiraz 2021.\u00a0<\/b>Barossa wines are considered to be ground zero for Shiraz, and with good reason. They simply deliver! Plush flavours of cherry, bramble, mulberry and plum, plus the signature black pepper. The vanilla scent arrives courtesy of the oak, with a touch of baking spice along for the ride. The texture here is a soft cocoon that fills the mouth. Acidity is juicy and gives flow through the palate, into a gently spiced, warm finish. 90pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Palacio del Conde Gran Seleccion 2019.\u00a0<\/b>Tempranillo from the Valencia region of Spain – 20km inland and about 100km south of Valencia itself. Where much of Spain\u2019s reds used to be big, muscular styles, a new wave sees wines that are distinctly medium-bodied being made, and enjoyed. Flavours of redcurrant, raspberry, plum, fruitcake and toasted spice. There is plenty of oak to note here, and a vanilla-flecked flavour that comes from that seeps through the palate. 89pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dark Corner Durif Shiraz 2022.\u00a0<\/b>Made by winemaker David Joeky as a side project, with fruit from South Eastern Australia. If you\u2019ve had Durif before, you\u2019ll know to expect a flamboyantly ripe, weighty and spicy Aussie red. Dark colour and dark flavours of cherry, blackberry, liquorice, pepper and cacao nib. The fruit is central, with oak, tannin and acidity are all in alignment and supporting that plush fruit. There\u2019s a distinctive espresso note at the back of the palate, and the finish is long and luxurious. 90pts<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Cabali\u00e9 2023.\u00a0<\/b>A red blend, made from 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Carignan grapes from older vines in the Languedoc region in the South of France. Each varietals adds it\u2019s character to the end result – a spicy, herbal and red-berry flavoured thriller. Ripe and intense yet smooth and succulent. The fruit is so rich and generous – you\u2019ll be amazed at the concentration they have packed into this package. 88pts<\/b><\/p>

Aluado Alicante Bouschet Reserva 2020.\u00a0<\/b>The big brother of a wine I\u2019ve tried before – Alicante Bouschet is a rare varietal from Quinta de Porto Franco – north of Lisbon in Portugal. A mixture of jet black and magenta colours in the glass, with dense, ripe aromatics of plum, blackberry, cherry, boysenberry. Into the palate, there is a denser sense of sweetness – with notes of dried fruits, date and cherry cola. Supporting that fruit is a core of smoky oak, supple tannin and brisk acidity. Unashamedly broad-shouldered, it has a loud personality – quite unlike anything being made here in NZ – but good on it for being it\u2019s own thing. 89pts<\/b><\/p>

Marauding Vintners McLaren Vale Capt. Cabernet.\u00a0<\/b>A dark, almost black colour. Gratifying to have such a \u2018typical\u2019 Cabernet Sauvignon character in the glass – from the blackcurrant, pencil shavings, capsicum, damson and lavender, to a delicious herbal \u2018mintiness\u2019. Quite elegant rather than jammy, that\u2019s not to say there isn\u2019t a wealth of ripe dark berry fruit. A tight core of grippy tannin and enough oak to place a solid frame around the fruit. A wine like this is a delight to drink now (open an hour before drinking – decant if you can) but will keep and develop more complexity over a few years. 92pts<\/b><\/p>

Pikes \u2018Wilfred’s Block\u2019 Clare Valley Cabernet Shiraz 2021.\u00a0<\/b>A fresh and vibrant expression of the classic Aussie red blend. Clare Valley often has fruit in the blue spectrum and a herbal brightness that gives a lighter, racy style. Redcurrant, cherry, blueberry and cassis, with a bon-bon sweetness and jewel-like quality. Driven by a keen line of acidity, bringing those ripe flavours to the fore. 91pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
