This beautifully balanced and classic white Burgundy has a savoury, salty, biscuity nose with a restrained, mineral palate. Oak ageing has lent a creaminess to the nose and gives broader texture before a long finish.

Chardonnay grapes sourced from Gevrey Chambertin and Auxey Duresses. Regular plowing and minimal fertilisers as well as minimal pruning to promote vigour and reduce yield. The grapes are hand picked and transported to the winery in small containers. Fermentation in foudre followed by transfer to 1 year old French barriques (Berthoumieu) for 12 months. During this time the barrels are rolled to stir up the lees - this happens 4 times a year after which the wine is left on its lees for a further 3 months. The wine is fined with bentonite prior to bottling but not filtered. Glam up your roast chicken dinner with this classic white Burgundy.

Notas Frutales de Albariño is set in the Codado de Tea sub-zone of Rias Baixas, in the south-eastern corner of the DO, towards the Portuguese border. There, further inland, the climate is a touch more clement than the prevailing cool, damp conditions that define Rias Baixas, and the Alonso family farm six Albariño vineyards on the right bank of the Miño River, at around 300m altitude. The Trucha bottling, named after the trout that José Alonso would fish for in the Miño as a child, is a classic rendering, with tropical peach and apricot flavours set off by piercing apple and saline notes on the finish. This is a more textured style of Albarino and really works very well with food, particularly trout.

50% Procanico, 50% Grechetto

Mario Soldati used to define the Orvieto as “… unique and treacherous. Treacherous because nowadays the occasions to find the authentic one in great shape are significantly less numerous than the ones in which it is found altered and weakened … ” (Vino al Vino, 1975 trip).
“Tragugnano” unquestionably belongs to the group of the “less numerous”, that is the one of the “authentic” and “in great shape” Orvieto wines. It is a living testament to the winemaking tradition of the proud and placid Umbria, a land of mysticism and battles. Tasting it is like listening to an old traditional song in which every note is perfectly in its place, a song you never want it to end.

rançois and Julien Pinon are renowned for producing exceptional wines in the Vouvray region. François, who previously worked as a child psychologist, assumed control of the vineyard from his father in 1987 and has since established a strong reputation for the estate. As a committed winemaker, his primary objective is to maintain the distinctive characteristics of both the appellation and the vintage in all of his wines. With Julien`s involvement, the family`s commitment to organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking has been further solidified. For this particular release, the wine was aged in previously used barrels for a duration of 4 months prior to bottling. It exhibits delightful hints of green apple, delicately enveloping a core of vibrant, lively acidity.

Viognier, Marsanne and Clairette blend. Rich and limpid, the almost exotic stone fruit flavours are restrained by precise notes of lime. The deftest touch of oak adds texture and weight without overwhelming any of the fruit characters, and the finish just keeps going and going. Truely a wonderful wine. Pair this with roast Chicken and be in foody heaven!

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.

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.
