Spain contributes Albarino and Verdejo, Italy leans on Fiano and Falanghina, and Austria and Germany round things out with Gruner Veltliner and Riesling-adjacent styles.

There is plenty of weight and silky texture through the palate, but a fresh line of acidity keeps all that fragrance and richness neatly composed. The fruit comes from a low-cropping vineyard in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, while the Reserve range represents just the top one percent of Saint Clair’s production. A standout match for smoked salmon, fragrant curries or anything with a little spice of its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are sourced from Saint Clair’s immaculately tended Godfrey’s Creek vineyard in the Wairau Valley and picked during the cool of night at peak flavour. Extended skin contact helps draw out the aromatic character before the juice is cool fermented with selected yeast. Rose water, cinnamon and coriander lead into a weighty, textural palate of lychee and savoury spice, with enough freshness and structure to continue developing in the bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameron Douglas MS, 93\/100 \u0026amp; Excellent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Lengthy, persistent, balanced and well made.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Negociants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53214576836975,"sku":"100947","price":179.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/SaintClairGodfrey_sCreekReserveGewurztraminer.jpg?v=1784604828"},{"product_id":"yalumba-y-series-viognier","title":"Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYalumba Y Series Viognier\u003c\/strong\u003e is a generous white for drinkers who like their wines aromatic, textural and not short on personality. Apricot, mango, honeysuckle and fresh ginger meet a creamy, silky palate, with enough freshness to stop things becoming broad or heavy. Yalumba has been working with Viognier since planting its first commercial vines in Eden Valley in 1980, giving it a fair head start on most Australian producers. A handy change of direction for anyone who usually reaches automatically for Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from cool and warm-climate vineyards across South Australia, the grapes are gently pressed before being wild fermented in stainless steel using naturally occurring vineyard yeasts.
