Another gem in 2011. There are just 240 cases of this touriga nacional, shiraz and pinot noir blend on offer and it's well worth hunting down.

2011 Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc
A nice all-rounder for lovers of the Marlborough uber-fruity style of sauvignon. This has a wealth of tropicals, Tahitian limes and passionfruit in most; really clean and tidy.
