Jack Daniel’s is America’s oldest registered distillery, yet over the extensive reign of this iconic American brand there have been only seven individuals charged with overseeing the painstaking process of producing Tennessee’s Finest and extending its legacy of excellence.
These chosen few have a heritage that runs back to Jack Daniel himself. To honour the masterful level of craftsmanship displayed by these men, this month sees the launch of a very special collection from Jack Daniel’s: the Master Distiller Series.
The seven Jack Daniel’s Master Distillers they pay tribute to are:
Jack Daniel, 1866-1911; Jess Motlow, 1911-1941; Lem Tolley, 1941-1964; Jess Gamble, 1964-1966; Frank Bobo, 1966-1988; Jimmy Bedford, 1988-2008; Jeff Arnett, 2008-Present.
Master Distiller No 1 is the fi rst of this series, beginning, of course, with Jack Daniel himself, in a celebration of the golden age when his unique recipe and high-level crafts-manship practices were fi rst initiated.
This is strictly a Limited Edition Series, with one-time-only bottlings for each of the seven, and with so many afi cionados of Jack out there (me included), I don’t expect this one to make it to Christmas Day on our shelves. Be in.

It’s Old No 7 as you know it, but with a higher ABV of 43%. As those in the know will be well aware, that makes it perfect for sipping, and that’s just the way Jack Daniel himself liked his Jack. Given that this is, after all, a tribute to the aforementioned gentleman, sipping it has to make perfect sense, doesn’t it.

Part of the Fairhall Downs stable, the Torea range is traditionally all about exceptional value for money.

ROSÉ SAUVAGE BRUT NV
PIPER-HEIDSIECKREIMS
The oldest of the three Heidsieck champagne houses, Piper-Heidsieck was founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck. Ambitious to make his mark, F-L created a cuvée which he dedicated and presented in person to Queen Marie-Antoinette, a patronage one assumes was, at a certain point, abruptly severed.
Florens-Louis died in 1828, and his nephew, Christian Heidsieck, went into partnership with Henri-Guillaume Piper, an energetic entrepreneur who did much to champion champagne throughout the world. Christian died suddenly in 1835, and three years later his widow married Henri-Guillaume and the company became known as Piper-Heidsieck.
In more modern times, Piper-Heidsieck has established itself as one of champagne’s most consistent and reliable expressions. Under the guid-ance of Head Winemaker Regis Camus the company has won countless awards and medals, with Camus and his team named Winemaker of the Year a staggering number of times at the International Wine Challenge, a feat encompassing the last seven years in a row.
In 2011, the prestigious FINE Champagne magazine awarded the Piper-Heidsieck Rare fi rst place in its Best 100 Champagnes list. Under the astute direction of Camus, Piper-Heidsieck’s crisply fresh and radiantly vivacious expressions have ascended, in both quality and stature, to a very high level of excellence.

The Rare is just that: made only in exceptional years from top-rated crus, a remarkably refi ned champagne that exhibits glorious balance as it dispenses its exotic fl avours. This is Piper’s pièce de résistance, a 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir blend that’ll age beautifully for decades. Rich, complex, intense, it nonetheless evokes crisp and ethereal as well. Extraordinary bottle.

PERELADAThe Perelada castle houses Spain’s largest privately-held library,
within which parchments detail wine-making practices that date back to the Middle Ages. With the viticultural part of the Perelada activities revitalised in the 1920s, and much fame achieved in the 1960s, this is one of Spain’s most signifi cant producers, the wines a scintillating blend of centuries’ worth of knowledge and cutting-edge modernism. The Perelada wines have almost become standard issue at royal and government functions, such is their consistent quality and the esteem in which they are held.

The Gisborne Merlot fruit brings an intensity to the freshness that many would kill (or at least maim) for; being off the astute Peter Briant’s wonderful vineyard, it is brilliantly clean and beautifully fl avoured. Add in the Jules Taylor winemaking skills and it’s a match made in, well, Gisborne, actually. Strawberries and cream, ripe raspberries, wild herbs; a pannier of pleasure.

CHÂTEAU LÉOUBECÔTES DE PROVENCE ROSÉ 2011
Jump aboard, we’re off to the South of France – the procedure is straightforward: lift your glass and close your eyes, and you’re there. The Leoube property is spectacular, and conveniently comes with two private beaches on the Mediterranean. This is a big wine, with rich fruit, sensuous textures and a sublimely silky palate. The quality? In our opinion, the fi nest in southern France.

SOHO WESTWOODWAIHEKE ISLAND ROSÉ 2013
100% hand-picked Waiheke Island fruit that’s been carefully fashioned, this could easily fetch double the dollars. Bright, limpid pools of crimson delight the eye, while the fl avours are tropically tinged – cherries and berries, mainly, and plums. The lush fl avours are tempered by stringent control; with good acid, this is refreshing but still substantial. It’s tart, then, with enough stuffi ng to justify the unwrapping and general handing around of the cold meats.
Wine’s a funny thing; its history dates back thousands of years, yet it seems that every time we take a look there is something new – a surprising, underutilized variety, a fresh way of doing the old – to keep it exciting and stop us all from falling asleep in our daiquiris. And so, in a month that sees New Zealand present its fashion culture to the world, we thought it appropriate to shine a light on what’s trending in our world: the transition of rosé to a year-round tipple, the edgy new varieties, the dynamic, brave new world that is South America and its food-loving wines, the timely rise of organic and biodynamic offerings and our fastest-growing category, cider. Enjoy.

Central rosés are becoming an extinct breed; one minute they’re there and the next they’re gone. Here’s one, though: bright raspberry hues herald aromas of sherbet and boiled red sweets that sidle onto the palate, where cherries and raspberries dance about the mouth in lively fashion before it all draws to a crisp, refreshing climax.

IT’S THE NEW PINK
Pinot Meunier is the grape of choice here. A base varietal in the production of France’s mighty champagnes, it’s not particularly common to see it out on the town all by itself; yet in a rosé it works, by golly. A rich and luscious mouthfeel, with a touch of Framboise, rosewater and jasmine embraced by a juicy acidity that provides a handy dose of balance and length.

GISSELBRECHT TRADITIONALSACE PINOT BLANC 2010
What is Pinot Blanc? Roughly, it’s the crispness of Riesling combined with the texture of Chardonnay and the fruity approach of a Pinot Gris. Clean apple aromas lead into a great texture that’s deliciously weighty, yet taut and tart. There’s a slight hint of sweetness, but really, it’s the texture that pulps your pipfruit.

COOPERS CREEK GISBORNE
BELL-RINGER ALBARIÑO 2013
A white variety that thrives in Spain’s north-western appellation of Rias Baixas and parts of Portugal, the fruit for this is all Gisborne, courtesy of Doug and Delwyn Bell. The wine itself comes across pure and fresh, with delightful hints of citrus and peach. Committed fans of the Spanish expressions, we’re delighted to fi nd Albariño feeling so at home in this part of the world.
Chile’s signature grape, Carmenère is all about rich, dark berries and fruity spiciness. The key with Chilean red varieties is not the struggle to get them ripe, but preventing them from over-cooking. Montes are longtime past masters. The Alpha is plummy but not baked, fragrant but not overtly soft. A savoury style of wine, if you like Cabernet and are looking for something a little different, give this a go. Will continue to develop for another 2-3 years in bottle.
Grillo is a native Sicilian variety with a capful of personality, the fruit, spice, fl orals and mineral notes bound seamlessly together into an elegant whole. A remarkably full bodied wine, the ideal drinking window is 2-4 years. While this is an aromatic style, it does need some air to open it up; for maximum effect, try drinking it from a Riedel Vinum Burgundy glass.

MONTES ALPHACHILE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2010
One of Chile’s top Cabernet Sauvignons from one of its fi nest producers, aged for twelve months in French oak barrels. Intensely ruby-hued in the bottle, heady notes of blackcurrant, chocolate and cigar box regale the nose. There is a fair degree of complexity in the full-bodied and balanced palate that’s signed off with a lengthy and remarkably persistent fi nish.
DYNAMIC SUBCONTINENT
Now very much at home in Chile, Carme;nère was originally planted alongside the Cabernet vines in Bordeaux; fi tting, then, that it is blended here with its old associate, which takes 70% of the reins. The ample, medium-weighted palate is softly generous, with smooth tannins and a long aftertaste.
Surgingly fruity, with a preponderance of plums and a blather of blackberries. Nice spice, not posh and far too cool to be sporty. It’s all about the fruit, and a very generous weight and length, especially given that price point. Think big; buy a case.

VILLA MARIA PRIVATE BINHAWKES BAY ORGANIC MERLOT 2011
The Villa Maria stalwarts lead the charge, as ever, with this amiably-priced organic offering, A dark crimson hue paves the way to a vibrant nose of red plum, boysenberry and subtle spice with cedary undertones. The soft and generous palate combines with silky tannins to make this an excellent food wine.
Who says the French don’t have a sense of humour? The Arrogant Frog approach involves combining French know-how with screw-caps. The annual Victoria Park Pétanque Tourney aside, may it be said that this southern French red belle has all the fruit, charm and fl avour you could want, with none of the arrogance. Jean-Claude Mas comes from a family with a long tradition of winemaking in southern France, dating right back to 1892. In the Arrogant Frog wines he combines, successfully, all of that accumulated history with a thoroughly modern outlook.

Described by the chef de cave as a contemporary classic, the latest Dom Pérignon is a vintage that has been somewhat ignored in certain circles, possibly because of its overarching normalcy, with many of the recent vintages throwing up truly unique wines, thanks to the less than standard growing conditions that accompanied them. Dom’s 2004 vintage stands out for its reassuringly predictable characteristics; it is racy, singular and a pure expression of terroir. A collector’s Dom, one for the cellar.
Since the 1962 vintage, Yalumba have dedicated the Signature to someone
who has given service to the industry and who appropriately represents the
traditions and culture of this famous and respected brand. Until recently
solely the preserve of an Australian recipient, the 2009 vintage for the fi rst

Bourillon-Dorléans are leading-edge practitioners in Vouvrayland, with owner-winemaker Frederic Bourillon quite the character. In contrast to his smile-inducing but somewhat brash nature, the wines abound with signs of elegance and fi nesse. Exclusively Chenin Blanc, this is a great alternative to Chardonnay, the honeyed palate weighty, with nuances of chalk and lime and a mouth-tingling texture, all signed off with a stunningly long fi nish.

The Bourillon family have been making wine at Rochecorbon, in the Vouvray appellation of the Loire Valley, for generations. Records show the estate was founded as far back as 1875, but it was not until 1921 that it was organised as it is today by Gaston Dorléans.
Still very much a family concern, the domaine is today run by Gaston’s great grandson, Frédéric Bourillon, who has consolidated the family’s 26.5-hectares of vineyards and constructed a modern winery complex to service them. The Bourillons continue to make their wines using a traditional approach, with the immaculate Rochecorbon vineyards sustainably managed and the Chenin Blanc fruit for their highly characteristic Vouvray wines hand harvested and matured in the medieval caves alongside the winery.
The Bourillon-Dorléans range includes their sec, demi-sec and lusciously aromatic moelleux styles, all elegantly epitomising the unique vinous expression that is the Loire’s Chenin Blanc.

THE WINES OFALVARO PALACIOS
This is a fantastic time to be purchasing what is already, traditionally, a very good wine. The reason? the current Woodcutter’s Shiraz is using declassifi ed fruit normally reserved for Torbreck’s stunning premium expressions (the RunRig, the Struie et al), as these wines are not being produced in this season. Hence we have added opulence and complexity, with twelve months in seasoned oak barrels and bottling without fi ning or fi ltration. Beautifully integrated, undeniably elegant. Buy now.
Included by Robert Parker in the World’s Top 100 wine companies, Torbreck was established in the mid-1990s when ex-lumberjack David Powell began to nurture back to life a few plots of near lifeless, dry-grown old vines in the Barossa Valley, in time harvesting enough grapes to make his fi rst batch of wine. His low-yielding Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre wines are made utilising traditional methods and minimal intervention. Torbreck also makes white wines from the Rhône varietals Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne.
In 2002, Torbeck bought the historic Hillside vineyard, one of the Barossa’s original properties, and in 2008 a new winery was completed. The facility includes temperature-controlled cellars and a bottling line for the estate wines that are redefi ning the expectations of what the Barossa Valley can offer.
