Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc
For those wine drinkers with a drier palate, Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect white. This is our driest white wine so if dry is your flavour preference, Sauvignon Blanc will definitely hit the spot! Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc wine is bursting blissfully with sumptuous summer fruit flavours. Hints of citrus, peach, pear, nectarine and ripe honeydew melon all combine to deliver a wine that is delicious, crisp and extremely tasty.
Sauvignon Blanc is a wine to pack in your picnic basket and bring along for those long, lazy warm and sunny days. Stretch out a blanket, get comfortable, open a chilled bottle of wine and enjoy. It’s a wonderful wine to drink with your feet up as the sun goes down but don’t feel as if you need a hot day to indulge in a glass or two. Sauvignon Blanc is great anytime!
Sauvignon Blanc white wine is also an excellent match for food, making it a great choice to serve for lunch or dinner with friends. It’s particularly suited to pairing with lighter dishes, such as chicken, pasta and seafood. If you’re looking for a mouthwatering recipe idea, why not try our one-pot pasta, with pancetta and peas? Inspired by the tastes of Italy, this easy-to-make dish features Sauvignon Blanc to give its sauce an irresistible twist.
Barefoot Shiraz
Pour a glass of our Californian Shiraz wine and don’t be surprised if you experience love at first sip! One taste of this smooth-as-velvet red and it will quickly become established as one of your favourite wines, perfect for a large gathering or simply for serving at home.
Shiraz is produced from the same grape as Syrah. It’s a classy, spicy, hearty red which boasts a pleasing vanilla finish, a smoky scent and flavour notes of dark berry, black cherry and mocha, among others. Although it’s a full-bodied wine and one of the darker and heavier types, Shiraz red wine is also of the easy drinking varieties - a bottle of this definitely won’t last long once opened!
Shiraz wine goes with lots of food, so you can’t really go wrong if you’re planning to serve it with dinner. It’s especially tasty with BBQ food. A large glass of Shiraz with a generous portion of slow-cooked sticky ribs is always a winner. It’s also fantastic with grilled meats, steak, sausages and thick, tender stews, and as a partner to pasta dishes.
Our Barefoot Shiraz is a delight to drink, and one of our most popular red wines. If you haven’t already tried it, it’s highly recommended!

Grand Bateau Blanc 2018 by Chateau Beychevelle
Bordeaux AOC, France
Aromatic to the nose with notes of buttery-vanillin oak flavours and exotic fruit (orange rind and honeyed grapefruit). On the palate, the wine is round, fleshy with wonderful minerality and again, delightful exotic fruit flavours. The new-oak flavours are present. Very nice balance between the oak, fruit and acidity. Excellent finish.

Beronia Verdejo Rueda 2020
The grapes are harvested mechanically at night so as to retain the freshness of the fruit
and avoid oxidation. The fruit is pressed gently in an inert atmosphere to avoid the aromas
becoming oxidised, with the must being separated into different quality grades. We then
purify the must by decantation, separating out the clean must. Fermentation is carried out
using selected yeasts, with the temperature kept under control at between 14 and 17ºC
and goes on for 10-15 days.
Beronia Rueda 2020 is bright and clean showing a pale yellow colour with green hints/rim.
Intensily aromatic it displays notes of citrus and white fruit along with herbaceous aromas

grape.

Waipara West Two Terrace Pinot Noir 2017
Crimson and pink flashes against a plummy red base. Aromatics of currant pastries, woody spice’s, and manuka leaf, leading to notes of forest undergrowth and florals. Moderate fruit sweetness, fine tannin and restrained volume allow savoury elements to splice evenly into the tart red fruit. A very enjoyable aromatic pinot noir, with good fruit density.
Domaine Albert Mann Riesling 2019
Alain Geoffroy Chablis Premier Cru Beauroy 2018
Pale light gold in colour with slight greenish glints. Bright, luminous and limpid. The nose is full of sunshine, gaiety, beauty and maturity. A rich, splendid bouquet of a multitude of flowers. A basket of fruit on a fresh summer’s morning. The taste is full and round - a perfect balance of rich, powerful flavours and finesse, mellowness and freshness. Everything that was so appealing on the nose reaffirms itself on the taste. The finish leaves us blissfully happy with mouth filling voluptuousness.
Yangarra Blanc 2021
Blanc is the result of years of research and quarantine of the best white varieties found amongst the ancient north-west Mediterranean vine types. The fact that these Châteauneuf varieties have been successfully blended for so many years, inspired the estate to pursue Châteauneuf’s top whites on the southern coast. The Blanc is produced using the simplest winemaking techniques to showcase the fresh and crunchy style these varieties provide.
VARIETY: 49% Grenache Blanc, 13% Roussanne, 15% Clairette, 18% Picpoul, 5% Bourboulenc
Waipara West Pinot Noir 2018
Estate grown on 3 blocks with differing soil structure, wind exposure and clones – early 1980’s selections from St Helena and more recent Dijon clones. The colour is an attractive, very bright ruby garnet with distinct crimson hues at the rim. Aromatically it is as striking as it is seductive. Bright red fruits - raspberry, strawberry and Morello cherry have immediate impact with an equally impressive array of oriental spices - anise and clove. Ripe seed aromas of almond kernel and cherry stone lift the nose. Time reveals an inner core of darker black cherry, and just a hint of bramble all kept in check by some very attractive yet subtle French oak. The palate is soft, silken and warm but with a certain nervosité which is to say that as a young wine it may appear both bright in acidity and forward in tannins, but that’s just for starters. Those are simply the framework in which the wine is cradled, the fruit depth is palpable, the Pinosity generous and its presence authoritative.
