🍷 2022 Paddy Borthwick Sauvignon Blanc
It took nearly 10 years for Paddy Borthwick to convert part of his family’s sheep and cattle station in Wairarapa, in the south of New Zealand’s North Island, into a wine estate. He was convinced that an old, stony river terrace with free-draining alluvial soil and a unique micro-climate was perfect for growing premium wine grapes. After years of studying and winemaking experiences abroad, Paddy Borthwick returned to Wairarapa and began planting vines in 1996. A firm believer in sustainable agriculture, and with a relatively hands-off approach in the vineyard and winery, he crafts lively, tense and incredibly precise wines.
GRAPE Sauvignon Blanc
STYLE Dry white
ABV 13%
COUNTRY Wairarapa, New Zealand
Tasting Notes:
The 2022 growing season has produced a wine with great concentration. A fragrant lift of spiced stone fruit, tropical fruits with a hint of dark herb notes. Packed with flavour, a core of ripe nectarine and lemon-lime acidity, finishing with a great length of flavour.
Food Pairings in Crondall Stores:
A great aperitif and perfect partner this with all manner of sea food and salads . For your cheese course, pair it with a Goats Cheese.

Wines of the week - 19
It's wet and windy outside, so how about a couple of wines to bring back memories of summer sunshine? Our wines of the week are from sun-kissed Italian vineyards. We are pleased to bring you a fresh white Frascati Superiore and another superb example of a big red Primitivo.
🍷2021 Frascati Superiore Organic Racemo
Frascati is an appellation for dry, still and sparkling white wines produced just south of Rome, in central Italy. It is arguably the most famous wine (of either colour) produced anywhere in the Lazio region and has a heritage dating back many centuries. Its status as a geographical deisgnation (or appellation) was established in 1966.
L'Olivella was founded in 1986 by expert viticulturist Umberto Notarnicola and wine expert from Piedmont, Bruno Violo. The winery is young, dynamic with a focus on sustainable agricultural practices. Volcanic soils from the region are rich in desirable minerals which help vine development and contribute depth and complexity to the wines.
GRAPE Malvasia, Bellone, Grechetto
STYLE Dry white
ABV 12.5%
COUNTRY Lazio, Italy
Tasting Notes:
Golden straw colour, with fresh and floral aromas on the nose with notes of white flowers, citrus peel and a touch of almond nuttiness. It's juicy in the mouth with flavours of white peach, nuts and zesty acidity which leads into an aromatic finish.
Food Pairings in Crondall Stores:
You can enjoy this with wine with appetizers, seafood and light pasta dishes.
