Most wine producers are very aware of the difficulty of informing potential wine buyers and consumers what their wines taste like. Often, brief descriptions are given on back labels, but clearly the buyer must be proactive in seeking these descriptions. In May this year, Selaks launched the ‘Taste Collection’ wines which comprised three 2016 vintage wines, the ‘Zesty’ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, the ‘Buttery’ Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay and the ‘Velvety’ Marlborough Pinot Noir. These names are pretty well descriptive of what’s inside the bottle (click here to see my reviews). Sophisticated buyers may see these names as being simplistic, but they cleverly and instantly convey the style of the wines. Selaks have now added to the ‘Taste Collection’ wines with a 2017 ‘Berries and Cream’ Rosé and ‘Luscious’ Pinot Gris, both from Hawke’s Bay fruit. The wines are released to coincide with the summer weather. I review the wines here. www.selaks.co.nz
