Exceptional Verdicchio from vines planted the year Beggars Banquet was released. Full-bodied but structured, a white that can stand up to meat. Our best wine with anchovies. Ageworthy.
Jim and Jenny make such fun exciting wines like this rich and textured Chardonnay. Fresh fruit and acidity up front balance well with the brioche and buttery notes in the finish.
Francois de Nicolay's negociant project selects grapes from excellent organic and biodynamic vineyards in France and vinifies naturally with no sulfur addition. This Bourgogne Aligote is a great representation of Burgundy's other great White grape with fresh acidity.
Skin-fermented Vernatxa Blanca (White Grenache), from vines rooted in petrified sand dunes. Aged 6 months in 500 litre oak barrels. Unfiltered, natural wine from the Ferré brothers of Catalonia, this is a saline, textured, age-worthy expression of White Grenache.
Full-bodied Riesling from the smallest of Alsace's Grand Cru vineyards in a warm vintage. This wine has some age before release but will benefit from additional cellaring.
Immich-Batterieberg's Brut Nature Sparkling wine from Mosel hillsides is the best combination of Riesling's fruitiness and minerality with 5 years on lees to give the yeasty character of top quality Champagne.
The Maconnais is the warmest growing region in Burgundy and makes very developed fruity styles of Chardonnay. Recchione's version sees a bit of oak for texture.
From 40-year-old Trousseau vines planted at Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard in Sonoma County. Some skin contact results in a rosy hue. A floral, savoury wine showing flavours of melon and tea, made by the talented Scott Schultz.
Edouard's Chardonnay has rich aromas of hazelnut, pear, and yellow apple with good weight and acidity. A great example of the grape from limestone soils and without new oak flavouring.
Made of grapes from 3 different plots in Chablis, l'Eclos's entry level wine packs a solid floral punch of ripe stone fruit and honey shaped by a satisfying minerality that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
