Established in 1980 by Andrew and Cynthia Hendry, in Huapai, West Auckland, Coopers Creek is one of New Zealand's top award winning wineries, renowned for producing outstanding cool climate styles. Simon Nunns is Coopers Creek's skilled young winemaker and was the inaugural winner of the Jason Winter Memorial Award when graduating with distinction in Viticulture and Oenology from Lincoln University in Canterbury. All winemaking and bottling is carried out at the West Auckland winery, and production is now around 70,000 cases. Coopers Creek's policy is to plant varietals in the regions to which they are best suited in order to produce the best possible wines. Fruit for Coopers Creek wines is therefore sourced from company and contract vineyards in New Zealand's key winegrowing regions. 60% of Coopers Creek wines are exported and in recognition of this the winery was awarded the Excellence in Exporting Award by the New Zealand Trade Development Board in 1997.

	Coopers Creek Unoaked Gisborne Chardonnay 2004 12x75cl Pale, green-gold in the glass. Large tears coat the glass, indicating a wine of considerable extract and body. The nose exhibits ripe Gisborne Chardonnay aromas of peaches and melon, underpinned by creamy and butterscotch notes from the malolactic fermentation. Unlike many Unoaked Chardonnays, this is a rich and textured wine. There is a lovely balance between the fruit sweetness and the acid, and the mid palate has plenty of weight. The finish is long, with peachy and creamy flavours. Food Matches are fish, seafood, poultry and pork. Price: £113.61 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)

The aroma profile is typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. There are hints of gooseberry, passion fruit, citrus, and nectarine. This wine is weighty for a Sauvignon Blanc and shows a lovely balance between fruit sweetness and acidity. As always the palate is fresh and clean and the finish crisp. Young Sauvignon Blanc is a very refreshing aperitif. It is also a great accompaniment to seafood dishes, especially mussels, oysters and squid. Price: £113.61 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)

	Coopers Creek Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2003 12x75cl Available September 2006 Only made in the finest of years. Two parcels of exceptional quality fruit were selected for this wine. Low cropping vines in the Anderson Vineyard up the Brancott Valley provided fruit with great richness and texture. This was partnered with first crop Sauvignon from the Praine Vineyard down on the Wairau Plains. This fruit was intense and vibrant. This wine is almost water white in the glass. Slight green hints are apparent which will develop to straw tones over time. Gooseberry, passion fruit and nectarine aromas on the nose. Extremely textured on the palate for a Sauvignon Blanc with masses of fruit sweetness in the mouth along with some real weight in the mid palate and on the finish. Very approachable on its own or perfect with fish and other seafood. Price: £127.83 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
