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.

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

Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
94 Points, James Suckling – 93 Points, Decanter
“Soaring lemon cream aromatics accented by notes of sea spray, lemongrass and beeswax mark this coastal Chardonnay from Flowers on the Sonoma Coast. The palate is fresh and linear. Oyster shell salinity, bee pollen and grilled lemon make for a savoury balance with delicate crushed chalk minerality.”
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.
