White Wine

Pretty floral nose with apricot expressing the majority Viognier in the blend. Elegant and soft palate with more apricot fruit.

An unusual, but terrific, blend showing off Alsace's grape varieties in a supergroup line up. The spiciness of Gewurz; the grapiness of Muscat; the body of Pinot Gris; the backbone of Riesling; and the refreshing character of Sylvaner. The resulting wine is fresh and characterful. Aroma and flavours of lemon, tropical fruit and white peaches, floral notes and petroleum. Additional flavours on the palate of pineapple and ground white pepper. Dry medium plus bodied wine. Good length. A super complex wine and fabulous value. Vegan, Biodynamic agriculture

A beautifully, light, vibrant white to be appreciated for its zesty, citrus and green apple character and refreshing quality.

This outstanding, estate-grown Chardonnay comes from a massive outcrop of limestone at the base of the iconic La Roche de Vergisson. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in neutral French oak demi-muids, this is the classic style of Macon with an unctuous and creamy texture, but displaying the wonderful only-in-Burgundy kind of mineral-driven acidity that keeps it extremely refreshing and adds a touch of class to proceedings. Notes of toasted hazelnut, almond, yellow apple, pear, jasmine and honeysuckle are prominent, while beautiful stony mineral notes shine in the finish. The finish, by the way, is notable for its extreme persistence and is the cherry on top of a truly outstanding white Burgundy, the kind of value every lover of these kinds of wine craves.

A beautifully, light, vibrant white to be appreciated for its zesty, citrus and green apple character and refreshing quality.

A little known appelation next to the classic vineyard of Sancerre, this has a distinctive personality being rather richer and more textured. Cédrick Bardin’s domaine is a patchwork of properties in Sancerre, Pouilly, and a few acres in the lesser-known Coteaux du Giennois. This appellation lies to the north of its more famous neighbors and provides a different but excellent expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Dominated by dark, clay-comprised soils, this plot yields grapes with a subtler yet more exotic character, intense herbaceousness & clean minerality with refreshing citrus overtones.

It shows a lovely pale yellow colour with greenish tinges. Fresh and expressive on the nose, with superb notes of pink grapefruit, mango and some slightly toasted hints. Its fine balance on the palate is remarkable, with a lot of roundness and body, as well as pure, elegant freshness. The flavours of Sauvignon are delicate and persistent, giving this wine length and vibrancy.

Silver Medal winner. The Simoneau family make beautifully aromatic, clean and crisp Sauvignon from their home in Touraine.

Deliciously rounded wine with a crisp and clean finish balanced nicely by gentle acidity.

Jamie Goode called Assyrtiko "Crete's answer to Chablis" and Wine & Spirits magazine have named it a 'best buy', awarding it 93 points. It's fragrant with wild aromas of meadow flower and yellow orchard fruit backed by a heavy dose of chalk minerality and green apple.

Vina Marty is proud to present this Sauvignon Blanc, a unique wine in the world in its style, fermented using Japanese sake yeast n°7. Only members of the sake producer association are allowed to use these yeasts. We are then honoured to be the only non-Japanese member. These yeasts are a true treasure of Japanese culture and allow us to vinify at much lower temperatures than regular wine yeast, which has always been a dream for winemakers. This Sauvignon Blanc presents a very new and unique profile, mixing the wonderful terroir of Chile, techniques of French vilification, and the millenary tradition of Japan. Nose : Complex with a beautiful intensity of citrus fruits and white flowers, such as orange blossom. Notes of Green spices with bakery and vanilla flavours. Palate : A floral sauvignon blanc with criticus aromas. A hint of chilli pepper add originality to its character. It’s soft, dry, with medium acidity round and well balanced. Elegant thanks to a workon lees, we can enjoy a long and creamy finish.

An exquisite ripe-flavoured riesling. Notes of peach and yellow plum, formidable delicacy and superb length of flavour from this fine estate in the Saar.

JancisRobinson.com: “Dry-farmed at 480 m in Alagni, central Crete. Skin contact for 10 hours for 5% of the grapes that are harvested early and fermented separately. Fermented in tank at 17–19 °C and aged 4 months on lees. TA 5 g/l, pH 3.33, RS 2.18 g/l. Intense aroma of bayleaf and rosemary, dramatically herbal without being green or unripe. The small percentage that had skin contact has given this a brilliantly judged texture, just a very slight grip, so it is not just about the aromatics. Moderate acidity, but freshened by that grip and the low pH. Wonderfully aromatic and so true to the variety, without being a caricature. (Julia Harding). 16.5 points

Passion fruit and pea shoots mingle easily on the nose of this medium-bodied wine. This is a fully dry and somewhat austere Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, ending on notes of white grapefruit and hints of underripe stone fruit.

Blended with white varietals from sunny Southern French vineyards, this wine reveals pleasant citrus notes and a nice freshness. It is the ideal accompaniment for salads, fish and white meat dishes.

100% Chenin Blanc from two parcels, 60% from a block in the Paardeberg (Swartland) and 40% from the Polkadraai hills of Stellenbosch. Both parcels are grown on Granite soils. The combination of these parcels brings together the best of both regions and makes an incredibly sophisticated wine that is also generous and meets all hopes and expectation. The Paardeberg portion is from a bush vine vineyard planted on decomposed granite giving the wine its elegance, finesse, and focus. The portion from the Polkadraai is planted on Granite and lends characteristics of yellow fruit and depth to the wine. In the cellar The parcels are vinified separately before being blended just before bottling. Grapes were destemmed, pressed, and left overnight to settle in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then racked to 3rd fill 500-liter French oak the next morning. The wine spent 10 months on its primary lees without any batonage before being blended and bottled. No commercial yeast or enzymes were used during the winemaking process. ANALYSIS: ALC 13% | TA 6.1g/L | pH 3.34

Stellar producer, one of Italy's great family estates. Such intensity and focus. This is the 'baby version' but holds its own as a snappy, crisp ready to drink style.
