WITHER HILLS MARLBOROUGH CHARDONNAY 2011, $20 

The best thing about this wine (apart from the fact that it’s absolutely fabulous) is that you can get it pretty much everywhere and that it’s such an awesome price! Concentrated tropical pineapple, peach and citrus fruit flavours frolic across the palate, yet it’s also quite taut and tangy with solid acidity and a toasty, textural finish. Take a bottle of this to your next pot-luck dinner and you’ll definitely win friends and influence people. www.witherhills.co.nz
