Waipara West Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Smelling this wine, you are instantly saturated with lofty aromas of passionfruit sherbet and sweet florals. Asian herbs like lemongrass and Thai basil add a savoury backdrop. Dry river bed and salt crust provide further earthy complexity. Full and juicy in the mouth ripe tropical fruit like richness flows through to a textured and cleansing granny smith finish with a stain like persistence.
Predicador Blanco 2019
In the nose have notes of fine and aromatics herbs, flowers and fruits like apricot and plum. It’s fresh, complex and very mineral. It has very elegant oak notes.
The palate is balanced in terms of maturity, warmth with very present and long acidity. This is a very fresh white wine, with good tannin structure, fine and lively. Good volume and long.
44% Viura, 36% Malvasía, 20% Garnacha Blanca
"Apricot, fresh mango, lemon pie, stones and smoked almonds on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fresh acidity and a rich, round palate." - James Suckling
Chateau d’Anglès Grand Vin Blanc 2017
Limpid, pale yellow wine with golden highlights. Rich and complex nose, with a blend of white fruits and flowers, fresh and sweet spices and honey, nuts. Plentiful, structured and creamy mouth unveiling a lovely aromatic intensity. Long and fresh elegant finish.
Fresh and fruity when young, gaining more complexity after 5-10 years. Potential of 15-20 years. Drink as an aperitif with marinated sardines. Perfect with fish, veal or poultry in sauce, as well as more spicy dishes. Excellent match with cured cheeses. Decant a few hours and serve at 14°C. If served too cold, the wine will not develop its full aroma.
Bourboulenc (40%), Grenache (20%), Roussanne (20%), Marsanne (20%)
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.
