Widely available.

Light body but with classic Marlborough blackcurrent leaf flavour.

Very good and way better than previous vintages of this or any other East Coast sauvignon.

Vidal Estate East Coast, made by Villa Maria, is rich and fat and tastes of vanilla.:shock:

Goosegogs - Shocked eh ? This one is obtainable from Waitrose I believe.
Would that be the East Coast of the South Island ?

For £6.00 value, how close is that to a good ?

Thanks for the info., Cheers G.

On offer for £5.21 at Waitrose at the moment.

Stunning value but do make sure that it's the 2008. This is not as concentrated as say The Reach 2007, in fact, it's quite simplistic. But the flavour is as it should be.

Looks like a cuvee with grapes from Marlborough, Hawkes Bay and Gisbourne. So all along the east coast of both islands

Buy a bottle and let us know what you think.

Best

G
