An Excellent Evening Of Tasting

Mangawhai Village Wines reprised a Tour of New Zealand by Chardonnay for 18 guests from Tara Iti. We looked at Chardonnays from Central Otago, Marlborough, Martinborough, Hawke's Bay, Auckland and the Bay of Islands.

Delicious nibbles were prepared by chef Andrew at Corner Bistro and were much appreciated by those present.

Opinions were divided on the relative merits of the Chardonnays. Discussion was lively and informed.

It was a very successful evening and the guests played a very important role in making it so.

It was our pleasure hosting these new friends for our last tasting event in the shop.

Another Successful Tasting

Last night we had a successful Tour of New Zealand by Chardonnay. Beginning at Peregrine wines in the Gibbston Valley, we ended up in Kerikeri at The Landing. 6 Chardonnays were tasted and each had its fans - the majority of participants loved the Radburnd Chardonnay followed very closely by The Landing.

Thanks to chef Andrew from The Corner Bistro who provided the canapés for the evening. It is great that local businesses can work together in this way. We very much appreciate his work and the support of the staff at the bistro.

Our next tasting will be in the New Year. The venue and details have yet to be finalised. Keep an eye on Facebook or our website www.mvwines.co.nz for details.

More Power Outages Tomorrow

I see outages are planned for some of the Heads and a part of Black Swamp Road/ Tern Point.

Don't worry, even if we have a blackout here at Mangawhai Village Wines, as we did this morning, it will be business as usual with cash payments or bank direct credits. So, you can still get your Christmas presents and Christmas needs.

Thanks to those who supported us this morning.

New Wines In Stock

With the holiday season approaching, we are ramping up our wine orders and have some new wines in, which are interesting and delicious.

First up is Pieropan's Soave Classico 2022 ($35). From the north of Italy (Veneto), this is a with with telltale aromas of white pepper, jasmine and ripe orchard fruit accents. It has a fine smoky plume across an effortless, tenacious finish. A delicious, easygoing and highly fidelitous expression of the region.

It is good with seafood.

Next we have a couple of gems from New Zealand. Sam Rouse runs Samuel Mark Wines in the Martinborough Terraces region. Sam was assistant winemaker at Dry River and is now involved with the ‘On Giants’ Shoulders’ operation.

He has two wines: Firstly - la Terre - is made from Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir co-fermented in barrel, into a white wine. Fruit from the Dry River Craighall Vineyard and another undisclosed source on the Martinborough Terrace. Hints of an ‘orange’ wine here – Sam explains something magical about reverse orange-winemaking that involves the lees? A pale green-copper-gold in the glass. Complex notes of grapefruit, dried pineapple, fennel, white cherry, mandarin, musk and granny smith on the nose. A richness of marmalade swells on the palate, tempered by a prickly tang of fruit tannin. Saline acidity gives line and length through to a pithy, drying finish of good length. 93pts

Second is la Fleur - is a Riesling-Pinot Gris co-ferment. Fruit from the Dry River Craighall Vineyard on the Martinborough Terrace was picked together, at the same time, pressed together and fermented together. We’re clearly looking at something Alsace-influenced. Perfumed with yellow apple, pear, cardamom, apricot, green tea, grapefruit and jasmine. Dry, with an intense, clean entry on the palate. A lovely nip of sapid astringency flows on a crystalline acidity. A hint of vegetal savouriness – carrot and sarsparilla and slatey minerality put flesh on the tight, phenolic framework. A cream and spice element works its way into the texture that then envelops the back of the palate. A fabulous new find. 94pts

Both wines are priced at $41

Another Successful Tasting Evening

On this occasion we tackled Wine Options, where you attempt to identify wines by their grape variety, age, country and region of origin and price.

The group of teams had a great time with some hilarious reviews of the wines tasted and some of their guesses were even correct!

The winners were...... Barfoot (& Thompson) Boozers. They gladly received their prizes. It is my understanding that their very supportive boss provided the Neurofen the next day!!

Thank you to all who participated for your support. Thanks also to our neighbours The BBQ Hut for the magnificent food provided.

21/11/2023

If you are a serious wine options player/ competitor, this may not be for you, as the whole emphasis is on fun!!

It's Back! - Gold Medal winning Château Clou du Pin Bordeaux.

This excellent Bordeaux is a Gold Medal Winner (Paris) and is a wee gem. Being a Bordeaux it is Merlot dominant with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc backing it up. It is vinted in a fruit forward, immediately accessible style with good palate drive and plenty of savoury fruit flavour.

We have a very limited stock of this wine available - $30 a bottle, or a box of 6 (in a lovely labelled wooden box) for $168.

Be in while stocks last.
