What we are drinking

Spoke 'Awatere' Sauvignon Blanc

Marlborough, 2022 New Zealand

Spoke 'Awatere' Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand 2022

Sauvignon Blanc

Spoke 'Awatere' comes from the Awatere River Valley, in Marlborough, which is slightly cooler that its neighbouring subregions of the Wairau and Southern Valleys. There's a distinct oceanic influence here with the ocean winds helping to cool the vines at night. The dry, free-draining, greywacke gravels are equally important, all helping to 'stress' the vines resulting in a greater depth of flavour. 

Awatere is a little more European in style with lip smacking acidity balanced by melon and nectarine flavours. A deliciously-reaffirmingly-juicy Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc.

Pairs well with shellfish dishes, vegetable dishes and soft cheese. 

"This is bright and focused with a crisp grapefruit and lime character, as well as some pretty passionfruit notes in the background. There’s a hint of green here, too: delicate and fine, with some tomato leaf. Such purity and focus to this wine. Benchmark." 92/100 Jamie Goode Wineanorak.com August 2023

“There are lemon undertones to the peachy and tropical nose. Medium-bodied with silky texture. Succinct and restrained with mineral notes accompanying the fresh tropical fruit." James Suckling.com 

5* "Simply thrilling and mind-boggling value for money" Mathew Jukes

Spoke 'Amped' Chardonnay

Marlborough, 2022 New Zealand

Spoke 'Amped' Chardonnay, Isabel Vineyard, Marlborough, New Zealand 2022

Chardonnay

Amped Chardonnay hails from the organic Isabel vineyard and sees much of the same treatments as its siblings, whole bunch pressed and wild yeast fermentation, plus, on this occasion, barrel fermentation. The oak's presence is subtle though and there's definitely a parallel with Burgundy's Pouilly Fuisse.

It's dry but it's beautifully balanced too, with a rich, textured mouthfeel. Aromatic, with yellow apple and stone fruits and a touch of almonds on the nose. The minerality carries through to give it a deliciously long finish with lovely apple and citrus fruit. If this was a Burgundy you'd be edging the decimal point a little to the right... 

Try it with good fish, seafood pasta or risotto, some Brie de Meaux or Wicklow Blue.

Erik's recommendations

Valentia Island Vermouth

Valentia Island, Ireland

Distilled on Valentia Island, Co. Kerry.

This Vermouth stands as a testament to local craftsmanship. Carefully selected and foraged island plants and herbs, including vibrant gorse, are among the 20 botanicals that infuse every bottle. These botanicals are expertly steeped, revealing their harmonious blend of bitter and sweet notes. They are then married with a rich golden caramel and a Verdejo wine sourced from the Rueda region, in the northwest of Madrid.

With an Alcohol Vol of 19%, "This Vermouth" offers a versatile libation. It can be savoured neat as a delightful aperitif, seamlessly incorporated into iconic cocktails like the Negroni and Boulevardier, or enjoyed with tonic or soda, accompanied by a slice of orange. Every sip embodies the essence of Valentia.

Spoke 'Brink' Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon

Marlborough, 2021 New Zealand

Spoke 'Brink' Sauvignon Blanc - Semillon, Marlborough, New Zealand 2021

Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon

The grapes for Spoke's 'Brink' come from Marlborough's oldest organic vineyard, the Brink vineyard. The wine plays homage to the white Graves in Bordeaux or Margaret River's equivalent in Western Australia, with a classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon (75%/25%). Hand harvested and whole bunch fermented together, with wild yeasts, in old oak barrels to create a lively white. There's some herbs and citrus fruit notes, along with stone fruits like peach, apricot. There's a fullness here, combined with graceful acidity that keeps it fresh. 

Pairs well with grilled vegetables, grilled or herb-roasted chicken and your favourite hard cheese. 

"This is complex and lively, with some fennel and grapefruit, as well as a core of yellow fruits including apricot, peach and plum, as well as some persimmon notes. It combines freshness and fruity richness, with these lovely aniseed and fennel notes. Like top white Bordeaux with the volume knob turned up."
- 92/100 Jamie Goode. August 2023
