Papa Sauvignon Blanc is pure and poised. Elegant citrus blossom, inviting black currant and fresh herbal notes are all woven together with anundeniable earthy saline minerality that speaks to its Awatere origins. The complex palate emerges to show layers of citrus, blackcurrant, and dried herbs flowing seamlessly through to a long unadulterated finish.

For all its raw beauty, the Awatere Valley is home to unforgiving soils, cool winds and some of the driest conditions in the country. But we have been here from the start. We know intimately how these very elements conspire to produce remarkable wines, like our Papa Sauvignon Blanc. Named for the compacted blue-grey mudstone that holds tight to the roots of our mature vines, Papa Sauvignon Blanc is made in small parcels from our original low yielding vines planted on a stony river terrace. With rows unusually planted east to west, grapes are harvested in two stages due to different ripening times within the block leading to an array of flavours.

By many accounts the 2022 Vintage was a roller-coaster ride. Pleasant spells of warm and dry weather coupled with unseasonable rain kept both our viticulturist and winemaker on their toes. A great spell of weather in the middle of summer drove the ripening forward and with clever canopy management and strategic picking decisions, our grapes were harvested in a clean manner. We harvested our grapes for Papa in two stages due to different ripening times within the vineyard block. This character leads to array of flavours, reflected in the wine.

Fruit was harvested in two stages with select parcels being whole bunched pressed. Juice was settled for 48 hours before being racked and prepared for fermentation. A pied de cuve vineyard culture was used to initiate fermentation and amplify the wine’s provenance. 18% of this wine was fermented in a combination of neutral French barriques and puncheons contributing texture and fullness. Post fermentation the wine was allowed to sit sur lie through winter and early spring to bring enhanced structure and mouth feel. The components were blended and prepared for bottling in late spring.

Good shirt
Size: Small, Color: Black
Very nice shirt, I usually wear medium but I had to get one size smaller. The small men size fits my collar great but the dryer might shrink it.

It’s not Polo but a good shirt
Size: X-Large, Color: White
I too thought it was Ralph Lauren Polo but found out that it was US Polo Association. It is a bit boxy but fits well. It is a good quality shirt and a good value for the price. Runs true to size.

Cute and stylish
Size: Large, Color: Aqua Light
Got this classic polo for my husband and he’s genuinely impressed. The fit is clean without being too tight, and the fabric feels soft but still holds its shape after washing, which is a big win. It has that polished, casual look that works for both everyday wear and slightly dressier occasions. He also mentioned it’s really comfortable, not stiff or scratchy like some polos can be. Overall, great quality for the price and definitely something he’ll keep reaching for.

Great everyday polo
Size: XX-Large, Color: White
I picked up the U.S. Polo Assn. Men’s Classic Two-Button Pique Polo as a casual summer and golf shirt and ended up wearing it far more than I expected. The fit is true to size with a comfortable classic cut that isn’t too slim or baggy, and the lightweight pique cotton feels breathable and perfect for warm weather, whether you’re on the course or just running errands. For the price, the quality really surprised me—the fabric feels durable yet soft, the collar keeps its shape after washing, and the stitching looks solid without feeling cheap. The style is simple and versatile, easy to pair with jeans, shorts, or chinos, and the logo is noticeable but not over the top. After several washes there’s been no major shrinking or fading, especially when washed cold and air dried. Overall, this is an affordable, comfortable, and reliable polo that looks good and holds up well, and I’ll definitely be buying more colors.
