Wither Hills Pinot Noir 2002 Marlborough, New Zealand, Case of 12 It remains to be seen whether New Zealand Pinot Noirs will shake up Burgundy - as they did with Sauvignon Blanc and the Loire. Some estates have planted Burgundian vines on hillsides and captured the spirit of this much-loved wine style. Brent Marris produces a very rich red which still has an elegant profile and has won barrow-loads of medals as a result. Delightful with roasts and grills, or with meatier fish.

Waitrose Chilean Chardonnay / Sauvignon Blanc 2003 Central Valley, Chile, Case of 12 Offer Price £39.96 Usual Price £53.88 This year we have decided to freshen up our Chilean white with 25% Sauvignon, adding a new dimension to the soft, tropical Chardonnay character.
