New Season Drops: 2024 Estate Chardonnay from Zonzo Estate
Raise a glass to memorable moments with this captivating classic. Bright notes of Meyer lemon, brioche and white stone fruit dance on the nose, while crisp green apple and subtle savoury spice on the palate keep things delightfully complex. Perfect for long Sunday lunches or cosy mid-week catch-ups, it pairs beautifully with salmon or roast chicken — though it’s equally wonderful enjoyed all on its own. Elegantly presented, this Estate Chardonnay makes a thoughtful gift for any wine lover, adding a touch of sunshine to their day.
Nepenthe 2024 Altitude Pinot Noir
For those looking to gift a sustainable sip, Nepenthe’s 2024 Altitude Pinot Noir deserves a spot at any at-home bar station. So, what makes this bottle better for the planet? To our surprise, most wine bottles aren’t fully recyclable—Nepenthe’s new tearaway bottle capsules mean you’ll be able to remove the aluminium sleeve off a Nepenthe still wine bottle completely before disposal, making these bottles 100% recyclable. Add to that a 2024 vintage wine that boasts natural acidity and fruit flavour with hints of raspberry and cherries, and you’ve got yourself a winner.

The Pinot Noir, on the other hand, is a top pick for the red lover in your life and will reach its prime in the next 5 to ten years.
