Grown up bubbles because sometimes only Champagne will do! A real standout at a recent tasting, we love this for it's voluptuous texture and orchard & stone-fruit profile. A truly great Grower Champagne. Treat yourself.

Crisp & energetic with notes of honeysuckle and apple turnover, finishing lemon curd on toast. A crowd-pleaser to rock any party.

Monte del Frà translates as ‘Hill of Monks’ and is located in the heart of the Bianco di Custoza DOC. It now consists of over 65 hectares of vineyards is owned and run by brothers Eligio and Claudio Bonomo. It is one of the most progressive and dynamic producers in the region and has been particularly innovative in its adoption of modern viticultural techniques.

A fresh and aromatic white from near lake Garda, crafted with a blend of local grape varieties, namely Garganega (used in Soave), Cortese and Trebbianillo. Great with hors d'oeuvres and fish dishes.

Tasting Note:
Ripe stone fruits and exotic spice touches on the nose followed by a lightly waxy and slightly oily texture on the palate yet with a pleasingly clean finish

 CEP Sauvignon Blanc is unique and may be easiest to understand by comparing it to other regions. It does not have the fruity sweetness found in New Zealand or the melon and gooseberry oak inflected fatness of most California Sauvignon Blanc. It is also not grassy like a typical Sancerre but there is bright acidity, mineral, citrus and green notes. Nick and Vanessa met Bob Hopkins a few years ago at an Integrated Pest Management class. As organic farmers you attend IPM classes to learn how to attract beneficial pests that will combat nasty insects in the vineyard. That way you can avoid pesticides. Nick took a shine to Bob and mentioned that his brother wanted to make crisp, minerally, zippy Sauvignon Blanc, but, of course, we cannot grow Sauvignon Blanc at our very cold estate vineyard. Bob was kind enough to offer us Sauvignon Blanc from his blocks of 40 year old vines. And the result is uniquely delicious. This is not the Bordeaux style of Sauvignon Blanc that Vanessa made when she was winemaker at Peter Michael where there is barrel aging and often Semillon in the blend. On the contrary, the grapes are picked to capture the citrus, green papaya, lemon blossom, chalky side of Sauvignon Blanc. It is tank fermented to retain acidity and freshness and bottled in the December following vintage.

Certified Sustainable, Practicing Biodynamic, Practicing Organic. Floral and citrusy with a little sultana and honey thing going on. A touch of plimsole rubber reminds you it can only be Riesling. A long, lingering finish with loads of creamy mouthfeel, backed up by acidity that zips through everything. Just the ticket! Drinks dry, though just nudging off-dry, which is perfectly judged against the racy acidity.

The Chardonnay grapes come from single vineyards in Buttrio and Prepotto, where the vines have an average age of more than 30 years. Yields maintained at around 40 hl per hectare to retain concentration. Vinified entirely in stainless steel tanks and aged on its own yeasts until March, the wine is bottled with a light filtration.

Very Chablis-esque, but with unmistakable Italian flair. Classic tones, delicately exotic, but typically salty thanks to the fresh, well-integrated acidity that suggests immediate drinkability, but promises a pleasant evolution over the next five years.
