Neudorf was founded in 1978 by Tim and Judy Finn, who experimented with what was then unknown wine territory, building a thriving winery that is now famous for its wines made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. The Finns were pioneers of organic farming in New Zealand and their wine-making philosophy is one of minimal intervention.\\n\\nTiritiri is a new brand from Neudorf which collaborates with named, hand-selected growers in the Nelson region to make excellent wines. All wines are created from single vineyard which are committed to low cropping. \\n\\nNelson is a small, wine region at the northern end of New Zealand's South Island. Surrounded on three sides by mountains, it enjoys a unique mesoclimate that is perfect for aromatic grape varieties. Wines made from Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer are considered to be some of the best in New Zealand.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}[null,42,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":56}[null,77,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":91}[null,115,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":129}[null,136,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":137}[null,151,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":166}[null,188,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":202}[null,225,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":239}[null,260,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":274}[null,298,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":312}[null,335,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":349}[null,373,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":389}[null,524,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":525}[null,540,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":727}[null,745,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1081}[null,1096,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1125}[null,1139,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":1633}[null,1652,{\"5\":0}]{\"1\":2964}[null,2965,{\"5\":0}]'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Bob Campbell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16\/20 Jancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Bob Campbell\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Cameron Douglas\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e (2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Bob Campbell\u003c\/strong\u003e (2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89\/100 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e (2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16\/20 Jancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e (2014 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Enthusias\u003c\/strong\u003et (2014 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSir George Fistonich Medal - New Zealand International Wine Show 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWild Ferment | 20% Old Barrel Ferment | Unfined | Vegan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eOrganic \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBob Campbell\u003c\/strong\u003e - \"A serious rather than showy sauvignon....with concentrated melon, apple and citrus flavours that dominate an array of more subtle notes (try ginger and roasted nut).

Riesling's home is the regions that trace the middle Rhine and the lower Mosel, two of Europe's great wine rivers.","brand":"Christa Rolf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42402846965992,"sku":"CRISROL-HRLG14-37512","price":24.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/christa-rolf-late-harvest-riesling-half-bottle-2014-barossa-valley-australia-pop-up-wine-1-32267683430632.png?v=1743667186"},{"product_id":"chateau-marjosse-pierre-lurton-bordeaux-blanc-2020-bordeaux-france","title":"Chateau Marjosse Pierre Lurton Bordeaux Blanc 2020 - Bordeaux, France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":408}{\"1\":559,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":568}{\"1\":921,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":953}{\"1\":1271,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1291}{\"1\":2454,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2469}{\"1\":3253,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3261}{\"1\":3932,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3957}{\"1\":6017,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":6042}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;91\/100 James Suckling \\n91\/100 Decanter \\n89-91\/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate\\n88-90\/100 Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing\\n15.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine \\n14.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\\n\\nOwned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.\\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;Plenty of sliced-apple, peach and lemon character with a medium body, fresh acidity and a clean, vivid finish.

Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.\\n\\nThe influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition. Pierre's father, Dominique Lurton, also made over a further 30ha so that, under the Château Marjosse label, Lurton now exploits 42ha of vineyard, six hectares of white and 36ha of Bordeaux red – a total of 300,000 bottles a year. Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious.

But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\\\u0026quot; Sommeliers International.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions.

The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors.

In 2018 Georges’ passed control of his company to his son Franck Duboeuf, who is considered to be one of the key specialists in Beaujolais, its terroir and its wine, and has shifted production to focus more on Beaujolais Nouveau.\\n\\nPays d'Oc is the IGP for red, white and rosé wines that are made in a large area on the southern coast of France. The catchment area for the IGP corresponds roughly to the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region – one of the largest winegrowing areas in France. The region covers all the wines that are not made under the strict laws that govern the AOC-level appellations in the regions: among them Corbières, Minervois and the Languedoc appellation itself.\\n\\nThe Pays d'Oc IGP is arguably the most important in France, producing the majority of the country's IGP wines. Five separate departments fall under the IGP (the Hérault, Aude, Gard, Pyrénées-Orientales and six communes in southern Lozère), which is delimited by administrative boundaries rather than geographical ones.\\n\\nThe Pays d'Oc area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Most of the rainfall is compressed into spring and autumn.\\n\\nThe region's viticultural history dates back to Roman times but the area is also know for its progressive approach to wine production. The Charmat method of producing sparkling wine was developed by Jean-Eugène Charmat at Montpelier in the early 1900s and, as mentioned, many producers adopt a New World approach to production and marketing. Some domaines will even bring in winemakers from Australia and New Zealand.\\n\\nPays d'Oc IGP wines were previously labeled as Vin de Pays d'Oc (established in 1987), although since 2009, the VDP category has been phased out of French wine laws. It has now been replaced with Indication Géographique Protégée, a category designed as part of a standardised wine-labeling convention in the European Union.\\n\\nBurgundy (Bourgogne in French) is an historic and highly respected wine region in eastern France. Burgundy wines have long had devout followers throughout the world and continue to do so today. Although Bordeaux produces about four times as much wine every year, Burgundy’s estimated 74,000 acres (30,000ha) of vineyards are considered to be of equal importance, producing some of the most exclusive wines on Earth.\\n\\nThe two key grape varieties of Burgundy are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both members of the extended 'Pinot' family of grape varieties. There are others too, of course, like Aligoté, Pinot Gris, Gamay, and Sauvignon Blanc but the primary focus of Burgundy’s production is Pinot Noir for Bourgogne Rouge and Chardonnay for Bourgogne Blanc. Located in the east-central part of France, Burgundy has 6 primary wine growing areas; Chablis – “shab-lee”. Côte de Nuits – the night slope, Côte de Beaune – the slope of Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise – the Chalon slope, Mâconnais – the region of Mâcon, and parts of the Southern Beaujolais.\\n\\nChardonnay is one of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Bolder, richer, full-bodied and buttery Chardonnays are made using oak and are produced in California, Burgundy, and Australia. Unoaked chardonnays such as Chablis and those produced in Chile, New Zealand, and other parts of France are leaner and often crisp and mineraly, with delicate flavors. By law, if a label says “Chablis,” it must be Chardonnay.\\n\\n\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":65280},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":215}{\"1\":395,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":411}{\"1\":594,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":611}{\"1\":815,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":831}{\"1\":1104,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1122}{\"1\":1312,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1314}{\"1\":1595,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1597}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e84\/100 - Gillian Sciaretta, Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 Vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e85\/100 - Gillian Sciaretta, Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e84\/100 - Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2005 Vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e87-88\/100 - Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2005 Vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e84\/100 - Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2002 Vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGillian Sciaretta, Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Crisp and fresh notes of apple and peach are lightly spiced and marked by floral accents on the clean finish.

The region covers all the wines that are not made under the strict laws that govern the AOC-level appellations in the regions: among them Corbières, Minervois and the Languedoc appellation itself.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Pays d'Oc IGP is arguably the most important in France, producing the majority of the country's IGP wines.

Burgundy wines have long had devout followers throughout the world and continue to do so today. Although Bordeaux produces about four times as much wine every year, Burgundy’s estimated 74,000 acres (30,000ha) of vineyards are considered to be of equal importance, producing some of the most exclusive wines on Earth.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe two key grape varieties of Burgundy are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both members of the extended 'Pinot' family of grape varieties. There are others too, of course, like Aligoté, Pinot Gris, Gamay, and Sauvignon Blanc but the primary focus of Burgundy’s production is Pinot Noir for Bourgogne Rouge and Chardonnay for Bourgogne Blanc. Located in the east-central part of France, Burgundy has 6 primary wine growing areas; Chablis – “shab-lee”. Côte de Nuits – the night slope, Côte de Beaune – the slope of Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise – the Chalon slope, Mâconnais – the region of Mâcon, and parts of the Southern Beaujolais.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChardonnay is one of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.

Unoaked chardonnays such as Chablis and those produced in Chile, New Zealand, and other parts of France are leaner and often crisp and mineraly, with delicate flavors.

While these immensely popular varieties have conquered every corner of the winegrowing world, Riesling is conspicuously absent from the core wine regions of France, Spain and Italy.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines.

Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSauvignon Blanc – Semillon is a classic white wine blend. It is most widely produced in France, most notably Bordeaux's Graves district, where both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are well-established varieties. It also has more recently caught on in Australia, particularly Margaret River. The versatile blend is typically made into crisp, dry wines, but it is also the blend of choice for the world's most prestigious sweet wine style, Sauternes. The blend is endowed with vibrant acidity and grassy aromas by Sauvignon Blanc, and its structure and mouthfeel from Semillon. This blend is a modern, simplified version of the classic White Bordeaux Blend, in which Muscadelle, Sauvignon Gris, Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Merlot Blanc may be added to the mix. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clinet Ronan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47337903751400,"sku":"XMW-CRBB22-7506","price":49.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/ClinetRonanBordeauxBlanc2022-Bordeaux_France.jpg?v=1755449762"},{"product_id":"corymbia-chenin-blanc-2024-swan-valley-australia","title":"Corymbia Chenin Blanc (Organic) 2024 - Swan Valley, Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e(2023 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Gary Walsh \u003c\/strong\u003e(2022 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2022 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Erin Larkin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Erin Larkin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Nick Stock \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Gary Walsh \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErin Larkin, Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Ultra funky nose of matchstick, straw, preserved lemon and lemongrass.

As with most producers from the region, Dog Point's most notable wines are produced from Sauvignon Blanc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe winery was established in the early 2000s by Ivan Sutherland and James Healy who had previously worked together at Cloudy Bay as viticulturalist and oenologist respectively. The vineyards were some of the earliest to be planted in Marlborough and thus have some of the oldest vines in the region. Dog Point is named for the sheep-herding history of the area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic philosophies drive Dog Point's approach to wine growing and in March 2012, 150 hectares of Vineyards were certified organic by BioGro New Zealand, with another 60 hectares certified as C1 (2 years in conversion).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA flock of around 2,000 sheep including Romney, Perendale Cross and Merino Wiltshire Cross are grazed in the winter to keep the grass low and fertilise as they go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter pruning; all the prunings, any grass or cover crops are mulched and added to the compost heap. This is spread under the vines to help conserve moisture and improve soil structure. A mob of 25 steers are also grazed on the property.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarlborough is New Zealand's most important wine region by far. Situated at the northeastern tip of the South Island, this dry, sunny region is home to over 500 growers and produces around three-quarters of all New Zealand wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dog Point","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48256590774504,"sku":"DOGP-SB25-75012","price":47.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/412f2b13-35bb-4bd2-86da-38eab88c7a25.webp?v=1776420735"},{"product_id":"tar-roses-pinot-grigio-2025-victoria-australia","title":"Tar \u0026 Roses Pinot Grigio 2025 - Victoria, Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2022 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Aaron Brasher, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Star - James Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e \"An early grigio adopter, Tar \u0026amp; Roses promotes the grape's natural blush colour.
