In Stoneleigh's Marlborough vineyards, sunstones absorb sunshine during the day, radiating heat onto the vines at night, resulting in their distinctly vibrant wines. Stoneleigh Classic Pinot Noir opens with a blend of red fruits on the nose. Cherries, cranberries and raspberries vie for attention with smoky hints of toasty oak underlying the fruit.

New Zealander's love Sauvignon Blanc and it is no surprise they love Lindauer Sauvignon Blanc too. A vibrant wine with notes of zesty passionfruit and fresh gooseberry flavours. It is crisp and refreshing, offering ripe fruit flavours with a lingering finish. Pair with fresh seafood, sushi, salads, good company and sunshine.

Nothing beats an original, and Malibu is not only an original, it is the world's best-selling Caribbean rum with natural coconut flavour. The taste is sunshine in a bottle - smooth, fresh coconut flavour with a sweet finish - perfect for bringing the sun-kissed island to anytime.

Joe Babich favours 'a fuller, riper, softer style of Sauvignon Blanc'. It's not a jump out of the glass style, but the wines develop well. The latest releases reflect a rising input of grapes from the company's Cowslip Valley vineyard in the Waihopai Valley, which gives less herbaceous fruit characters that it's other Marlborough vineyards. This smooth wine features strong, ripe flavours of melons and limes, moderate acidity and a rounded, rich finish - great drinkability and well regarded all over the world.
