This completely dry wine is explosively rich and impressively textured with the elegance and refinement of a stately Sauvignon Blanc.

The oak is successfully integrated in the creamy texture. Enormous length stimulates the palate and keeps the mouth watering throughout.

Escaroth Vineyard is a site that truly reflects vintage variation: this year's release simply ticks all the boxes for Pinot Noir fanatics. It has a beguiling, complex perfume that treads both red/blue fruit and an enchanting spice, game and earthy savouriness. The very low-yielding vintage (4.6 t/ha) coupled with the dry-farmed nature of the site has resulted in incredible concentration and intensity.

This Pinot Noir will pair perfectly with duck breast or rigatoni alla norma.

For winemaker and co-founder Rob Cameron, the Invivo range is all about taking some of the elegance from the old world and putting that style into our amazing grapes, all the while offering wines that are fun and a bit unique.

Tropically scented but with layers of sweet capsicum and floral lime zest rising from the glass initially. This is well backed up by a vibrant, zingy fresh palate with deceptive power and concentration. There is a creaminess to the palate from time on lees that adds a textural dimension, which is in great balance with the driving tropical fruit. This is a Sauvignon Blanc for Sauvignon Blanc lovers.

“Gidday, Tim from New Zealand here… do you reckon Graham would like to try some of our wine?” That cheeky phone call in 2011 led to TV talk show megastar Graham Norton not only putting his name to a range of Invivo wines, but personally blending them and owning shares in the company!

Graham’s wines have been awarded over 200 accolades, including: Gold at the Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters; twice Gold at the Sydney International Wine Competition; a Trophy at the UK People’s Choice Awards; 90 points from both Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator; chosen to be served in Qantas Business Class and selected for The Independent’s ‘Top Sauvignon Blancs’ in the UK.

This is a really good expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It’s aromatic with some passionfruit and grapefruit on the nose. In the mouth, it’s zesty and lively, with bright citrus fruit, a hint of green, some grapefruit and a lovely tropical twist. Quite impressive and classically Marlborough - it has focus, and a good concentration of flavour.

Following the phenomenal global success of the first three vintages of Invivo X, SJP Sauvignon Blanc, Sarah Jessica Parker and Invivo co-founders Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron have made their 2022 fourth release together, virtually. New York-based Sarah Jessica was dialled in with Tim and Rob in from their winery in Te Kauwhata, New Zealand to create and sign off their latest blend, over a two-hour Zoom chat.

Aromas of lifted, ripe tropical fruit amongst a mingling of citrus peel with exotic guava in the back ground. The delicate oak influence underpins the fruit on the nose and in the palate gives an immediate softness and accessibility. This swiftly fills the mouth and the balanced acid structure emerges through the folds of supple savoury and fruit
sweet characters. The finish is long and, divine

Pair this delicious and fashionable Sauvignon Blanc with oysters, baked or smoked salmon, korean spicy beef or a rich blue cheese and caramelised onion tart. Not hungry? Enjoy a few glasses (or the bottle!) while watching the new Sex and the City reboot, airing on HBO Max.

This is about the purity of Pinot Noir with spicy savoury and bright, juicy red fruits. It is medium-bodied with soft velvety tannins, a mix of tart and sweet cherry fruit with a chocolate touch to the lightly oaked finish and a spicy zestiness to the lingering aftertaste

A perfect pairing for grilled quail, roasted chicken or the richness of pork shoulder. This wine can also stand up to glazed salmon or a decadent pizza with sweet potato, balsamic onions and soppressata.

While the classic expression of this famous wine style is about fruit purity and crispness, this wine represents an alternative interpretation. ‘Abstract’ is a departure from the norm. This wine is all about texture and layers of aromatic complexity derived from both fruit and winemaking. The Holdaway family vineyard in Dillons Point provides the pillar of blackcurrant, passionfruit and its signature salty minerality, while the 100% wild yeast fermentation in seasoned French oak puncheons offers savoury attraction and complexity on the palate.

This Sauvignon Blanc would pair perfectly with any fish dish.

From one of New Zealand’s pioneers of Pinot Gris. Stunning opulent aromas of apricots and rock melon. Vivaciously mouth-filling with invigorating fruit driving through the forefront, wonderfully sweet fruit from physiological ripeness, but a crisp balanced finish with added texture. A beautiful long honeyed finish for a dry Pinot Gris with no residual sugar.

Enjoy with seared or grilled fish and simple oven-roasted chicken or change it up and try with pan seared black cod with a lemon pepper aioli.
