Berrys' Good Ordinary White (Stelvin) -- Dourthe -- France
Sauv.Blanc & Sémillon, 12% alc.
Good Ordinary White is the perfect counterpart to Berrys’ perenially popular Good Ordinary Claret. Produced especially for us by the highly-respected Bordeaux producer, Dourthe, this blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon exudes luscious, creamy, tropical fruit alongside notes of fresh grapefruit. With an intense smoky nose, a smooth texture and superb concentration, this is wonderful to drink now and exemplifies the excellent quality of Bordeaux's white wines in 2008.
(Max Lalondrelle BBR Bordeaux Buyer)

Berrys' Good Ordinary Claret -- Dourthe -- France
Cab.Sauvignon Blend, 13.5% alc.
I’ve enjoyed Berrys’ GOC for as long as I can remember; a wine that says it all on the label. It’s better than ever – now produced by Dourthe – and ideal for a summer standby.

Berrys' Australian Shiraz, Barossa Valley (Stelvin) -- Elderton -- Australia
Syrah/Shiraz, 14% alc.
This big wine with juicy black fruit is laced with leathery spice, thanks to an open-top fermentation and old oak élévage. This is made in a classic Australian style and, not surprisingly, is a great barbecue wine

Berrys' New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc Seifried, Nelson (Stelvin) -- Seifried -- New Zealand
Sauvignon Blanc, 13.5% alc.
In 1973 Austrian-born Hermann Seifried and his New Zealand wife Agnes bought land in the Moutere Valley between Nelson and Motueka with the intention of planting strawberries. Fortunately, they planted vines instead. Their first harvest was in 1976. Seifried Estate now consists of 80 hectares of vineyards in the Nelson region, three vineyard sites each planted to different grape varieties according to the soil and climate of the particular site. Chris Siefried is in charge of winemaking, assisted by his sister Heidi.

Not only was Seifried one of the very first operational wineries in the South Island, it has also now become the first in Nelson to be accredited to the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand programme.

Berrys' Extra Dry, Crémant de Limoux -- Domaine de l'Aigle -- France
Other Varieties, 12% alc.
This is a hugely successful marriage of Champagne elegance with the ripeness of Languedoc fruit from iconoclast and native Champenois Jean-Louis Denois; Our own Extra Dry is now made from a blend of Chardonnay 55%, Chenin Blanc 35% and extraordinarily, it even includes a 10% of Pinot Noir, taking advantage of the recent changes in the AOC laws which now permit the use of this more sophisticated grape in the place of the humbler traditional Mauzac. This sparkling wine has a soft, delicate mousse and a floral nose with the suggestion of honey, nougat and limes that combine to give this wine from the south of France immense appeal. Perfect for any occasion.

This wine was blended by Berrys' buyer together with Jean-Louis Denois in the spring following the vintage. We try to keep the dosage to a lowish level and ask for extra time on the lees; The wine, with additional pre and post disgorgement ageing, which is drinking perfectly, its tropical exuberance now tempered by pleasing honeyed and biscuity notes. This is perhaps due in no small measure to the fact that the blend is dominated by Chardonnay, with the percentages of Chenin Blanc and the more traditional Mauzac reduced significantly; he has even added a little Pinot Noir, also evocative of his native Champagne. We mustn't tell him, but it's pretty good value at this price.
