How We Score the Wines

Introduction | Visit Winespider |

The tasting panel at Nicks Wine Merchants taste hundreds of wines each month. Some are good, few are excellent while many are bad or indifferent. How do we arrive at the scores we do? The rating system we use is by no means arbitrary, rather it is methodical, transparent and self policing.

2007 Bouvet Ladubay Saphir Brut Vintage
Bouvet is regarded by many wine lovers as the finest expression of sparkling wine from the Loire Valley. Displaying plenty of flavour with excellent yeast autolysis characters and a creamy texture, this is a fantastic value for money sparkling.
$19.99 each


2008 Ata Rangi Sauvignon Blanc
Normally renown for their famed Pinot Noirs, Ata Rangi has produced a superb example of intensely flavoured Sauvignon Blanc. This one of the best examples of Sauvignon Blanc that we've seen from the Martinborough region.
A$26.99 each


Wine Preserva Kit
The 'Wine Preserva' is a new Australian invention for keeping wine. It is a simple inert plastic floating disk that comes with a tong to push the disc into the top of the bottle. The inert plastic disk floats on top of the wine and moves down as each glass is poured essentially forming a blanket that prevents oxidation.  It keeps wine fresh for 5-7 days after opening.
$6.99 per pack
