Value, generous, approachable.
Formerly the Centenario Malbec, this value bottle delivers aromas of baking spices and black cherries, vanilla, violets, coffee, dark chocolate and licorice. The palate is a drinkable as they come; smooth weight, generous purple fruit and spice flavours, and a slick mocha finish.

Value, easy, approachable.
Formerly the Centenario Pinot Grigio this relabelled white delivers aromas of lemon peel and forest floor/mushroom aromas, orchard fruit and honeycomb with herbal undertones. Tangy and juicy it has brazen citrus and lemongrass flavours. Straightforward and easy drinking.

Bright, silky, pleasing.
The Centenario range of Graffigna's wines, pays tribute to the 100th anniversary of the winery, which was founded by Santiago Graffigna in 1870.
It is always a pleasing white, offering pear and guava, grapefruit and honey with hints of smoke, spring blossoms and mineral. It has a silky weight, a kiss of honeyed sweetness, and bright acidity. Overall good length, with a fresh zesty finish.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

Racy, verdant, precise.
From the "golden mile" of Marlborough in the Wairau Valley, this delicious option is a nice step up from the basic Stoneleigh Savvy.
Racy and verdant; lime, crunchy green apples, honeydew melon, snap peas, nettle and gooseberry aromas define this wine. The palate is precise and lip-smacking with excellent concentration and a long grassy/citrusy finish.
