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!

Handpicked Regional Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Tasting Notes
- A mouth-watering combination of juicy fruits, passionfruit, bright acidity and herbal lift. Pure Marlborough.
Season
- It was a warm and dry season in Marlborough with low yields as a result of unsettled weather around flowering in spring coupled with very dry weather after Christmas. There are advantages to such a season – low disease pressure and excellent fruit intensity among them.
Winemaking
Region
- This wine is made to preserve and highlight its fresh fruit flavours and refreshing acidity. The fruit is pressed to a temperature-controlled stainless-steel tank and the juice is vinified at low temperatures over a long fermentation. It is bottled within months of harvest and is best enjoyed when youthful and fresh.
- This wine is from select vineyards in Marlborough, where warm daytime temperatures, high sunshine hours, low rainfall and cool nights encourage the development of the intense aromas and flavours that are the hallmark of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The wine region is centred on two river valleys in the north east of New Zealand’s South Island – the Wairau River and the Awatere River valleys. Soils are alluvial and free draining silty shingles intermingled with stones and rocks. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is an internationally recognised wine style and accounts for about two thirds of the total vineyard in New Zealand, more than 70% of the country’s wine production and about 85% of its wine exports.
- Green salads, Asian-style salads, and slaws, goats' cheese, fried calamari seasoned with pepper or chilli.
- Crisp & Refreshing
