Groenendal Vineyards Chenin Blanc - £29.74
Price on from Laithwaites.
Chenin Blanc has been grown in the Cape since the first settlers arrive from the Loire Valley in the 1660s. Despite the recent switch to more ubiquitous international varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc), Chenin remains the definitive Cape white. Always distinctive, in the right hands it is capable of elegance, complexity and longevity. Groenendal was among the first 15 farms established in the Wellington area 300 years ago. Chenin has been grown there for the last century. The current owner Herman Le Roux's great grand father emigrated from Blois in the Loire which is the centre of Chenin Blanc cultivation in France. Today the estate's wines are vinified by Franck Meaker at Wellington's Bolvei Cellars. Pale gold with light green tinges. Ripe peach, citrus and guava aromas. This is a really well balanced wine with a whack of fresh fruit flavours, lovely harmonious structure and a crisp lingering finish. Especially recommended with grilled fish and seafood kebabs.

Brightwater Sauvignon Blanc 2007 - £10.79
Price on from Laithwaites.
''Don't bother searching for Cloudy Bay and save money with this terrific wine'' The Independent Brightwater Sauvignon 2007 is from New Zealand's Nelson region ... a short ride over the mountains from Marlborough. Small production and so strict allocation - especially for this highly regarded vintage, which was awarded 5* by Cuisine magazine and also 5* by respected NZ wine writer Michael Cooper - but we managed to secure some precious cases. Each vintage causes an avalanche of press acclaim. Since it burst onto the scene in 1999 it's won Golds above some of New Zealand's biggest names, has been awarded marks in the mid 90s from the great and good of the wine world and been singled out as one of the best Kiwi Sauvignons to drink with food. This year was no exception and the winery is going from strength to strength. Wonderfully intense aromas - fresh-cut grass, gooseberry, lemon - and rich, long-lasting flavours of zesty tropical fruits. Crisp, pure and lively, it makes an excellent aperitif but is fine enough to partner grilled fish (like turbot), lemon chicken or Thai food.
