HELP!!!

I am a huge fan of  Sauvignon Blanc from the Malborough region of New Zealand.  The price has gone up hugely in the last few years in London but I was interested to see that the wines I drink in London and buy from my local supermarket are more expensive in Australia these days.

Anyway, does anybody know where I can buy a bottle of this wine in London?  It seems that there is only one UK supplier and they are in Lancashire and I have to order 6 bottles.

I drank it in Sydney at The China Doll restaurant my friends took me too and I really liked it.  Like lots of things, taken in isolation, out of the context in which it was enjoyed might be hugely disappointing so I don’t want to risk buying loads of bottles initially.

Here are the details in case you can help:-

Vavasour VAVASOUR Sauvignon Blanc Awatere Valley Marlborough NZ (Screwcap) – 2008

This wine shows lifted tropical fruit, melon and citrus notes. The palate exhibits the same fine fruit flavours with an underlying flinty note typical of Awatere Valley fruit. The finish is crisp.
Producer: Vavasour Wines Ltd Seddon Marlborough
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc

    Sorry I can’t help with a supplier, but just wanted to congratulate you on your excellent palate! It’s a goodie, that’s for sure.

    Try ‘the victoria’ house wine, Chispas rose. I did some consumer testing last night. Although perhaps lacking the finesse of said SB one can safely guzzle a bottle or two with no trace of hangover! That has to be worth it!
