Two stars of our New-World portfolio, together in one place (and one case).
The best-selling Acorn Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, and the elegant and fruity Oryx (a blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Petit Verdot) from Thelema Mounain Vineyards in Stellenbosch, South Africa. What more do you need to know?
Maybe it is worth saying that the Acorn, made by the only growers' co-op in New Zealand, is textbook Marlborough SB - all bramble and citrus with a lift of bell-pepper? Perhaps I could add that the Rhone-inspired red from Thelema is chock full of dark fruit and peppery spice and has spent a year and a half in oak? I should definitely make the point that both are exceptional value for money, and with savings of over 25% when you buy the duo, you cannot afford to miss out.
"Made by the only growers cooperative in New Zealand., this bright Sauvignon Blanc opens with fresh bramble and herb with hints of lemon on the nose. Lifted passion fruit and ripe tropical on the palate with a long zesty lime finish. The vineyards are planted in the Wairau valley's alluvial silt loams, and the vines are trained to three cane Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) canopies. Fruit from individual vineyards is fermented separately, some parcels are removed from their fermentation lees at the end of fermentation to preserve the aromatic fruit character while other parcels are lees stirred weekly to develop mouthfeel and structure."
"A rich, spicy Rhone-style red, brimming with mulberries and plums, seasoned by a scattering of black pepper and sun-baked fynbos herbs. The high quality of both fruit and winemaking shine through in the finesse of its silky tannins and the harmony and balance on the sustained finish. This is exceptional value for money."
