Mohua is less than 15 years old, but has quickly proven themselves to be one of New Zealand’s most exciting producers. Armed with a number of generational winemakers, they work exclusively in NZ’s top two regions, making their Sauv Blanc in Marlborough and Pinot Noir in Central Otago. Amazingly, Mohua has never had a vintage where their Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has failed to register a 90-point score.
That streak certainly wasn’t broken in 2021, inversely, they actually received one of their highest scores to date, a 92-point review from Europe’s most famous and stingiest wine reviewers, Decanter who deemed their wine “classically styled” with a “finely rounded texture”.
This is what I mean by consistency.

92 Points, Decanter
“Focused nose of pink grapefruit with notes of lemon and lay- ers of flowers and fresh herbs. Classically styled, finely rounded texture.”

The newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
