Whole-bunch fermented in concrete tanks, this chenin packs a luscious punch of flinty papaya and tropical fruit contoured by subtle tannin and crisp acidity.
Tiny production single-vineyard wine from a coastal plot with sea breezes that add a refreshing salinity. One of the few Palomino vineyards outside of Spain!
Pallagrello Bianco became a favourite of King Ferdinand IV. He set aside a place for the grape in his famous "Vigna del Ventaglio", or "fan-shaped" vineyard, which was reserved for only his favourite vines. It's a much-loved, yet almost extinct, green-skinned grape variety thought to have originated in Campania. Alepa's Pallegrello is like browned butter, slate, and white flower, with a warm amber colour.
Unique Mediterranean-Burgundian winemaking from good pals Paul Perarnau (the farmer) and Willy Roulendes (the vigneron). The grapes are harvested from two certified organic parcels, one situated below the famed Puligny-Montrachet and one in the Southernmost region of Côte de Beaune, Maranges.
High elevation site with soils heavy in clay and light in limestone, from a plot in front of Santenay. Sharp green apple mellowed out with a creamy secondary fermentation.
One of the best values in Natural wine is Angiolino Maule's magnum of fresh, young Garganega wine that's a great table match to ragu bianco or white pizza.
Clos Henri is the New Zealand project of renowned French winemaker Henri Bourgeois. This is a lightly oaked, minerally Sauvignon Blanc emulates Sancerre better than most NZ Sauv Blanc.
De Fermo's old school Pecorino made in a combination of the concrete tanks and old oak barrels. Full bodied and rich in stone fruit and mineral acidity.
