First Drop Vivo Adelaide Hills Arneis 2021
This is the ultimate summer cleanser. Forget your G&T, this Arneis from the cool climates of the Adelaide Hills will quench and refresh. Citrus and lime zest with a hint
of nashi pear and minerality.
But this wine isn’t just an aperitivo tease. Its purity of fruit, zippy persistence and finely textured finish make it the ‘perfect match’ for a feast of dishes.
Colour: Pale straw with tinge of green
Nose: Nashi pear and passionfruit with a hint of lime
Palate: Nashi pear and pithy fruit avours dominate, with lime zest and minerality, making the palate long and zingy.
"From a parcel in Kersbrook, this has aromas of lemon blossom and wet stones with a gently herbal edge. The palate has some lees-derived texture with a compact and lively feel. Crisp and gently grippy with a dry, lively and tangy apple and lemon finish. Drink now. Screw cap." - 92 points, James Suckling
Alain Geoffroy Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2018
Pale gold in colour with green glints. Bright, luminous and limpid.
The nose evolves in purity and elegance. We discover with pleasure the sweetness and mellowness thought
fresh notes of citrus, menthol and fern, rounded by gourmet notes of vanilla.
The mouth expresses power, delicacy, mellowness and character on a clearly mineral background that only aging can balance. A delicate hint of oak and a very long finish that give us enough time to appreciate this wonderful moment of tasting.

Chateau de Pommard Volnay 2017
The pebble-rich and limestone soils of Volnay, rising between 230 and 280 meters above sea level, makes for a delicate, aromatic, and elegant Pinot Noir revealing the feminine profile of the appellation. Cultivated since the Middle Ages, the vineyard located on the steep slopes of the hill of Chaignot has always been a perfect fit for Burgundy’s native red grape variety.
With a delicate nose of peonies, strawberries, raspberries and cherries, our Volnay 2017 shows a feminine profile. The palate reveals notes of pomegranate and sweet spices, such as vanilla and cinnamon, as well as silky and smooth tannins. With pronounced intensity and long finish, it is a Pinot Noir made for aging, that will evolve beautifully.
Recommended Serving Temperature: 16°C
