White Wine

Forward apricot and orange blossom notes on a generous palate balanced by brisk acidity, with a marmalade finish and gentle spicing from french and US oak.

Beautifully clear with green reflections. Intense nose of apricot, vine peach and rose. Very aromatic and floral. Powerful and generous on the palate with a remarkable finish, persistent, fresh and fruity. The soil, composed of chalky ‘terres blanches’, is ideal for the Viognier grape. Control of yields via optimal management of nutrition and de-budding. It spends 4 months in stainless steel vats. Batonnage on the lees to accentuate the plumpness on the palate.

One of Italy's most exciting wine sub-regions high above the Bay of Naples. Aromatic jasmine & ripe melon lushness, mint/basil coolness, and a tufa mineral hint. Very special.

Menfi, Sicily. Long the star wine of this modern, impressive grower. Perfect expression of Fiano, teasing green melon ripeness with lemon-peel zest. Prefect for Middle Eastern food, green herbs. Bone dry, no oak. Sustainable, Vegan, Vegetarian

Plentiful aromas with sweet notes, chamomile and secondary aromas of peach, citrus and tropical fruits. All assembled in perfect harmony with the creamy notes and spices from the oak barrels.

(2019 vintage) Decanter White Wine of 2020 with a whopping 96 points "Caramel and mocha notes on nose. Creamy with elegant balance between oak, fruit and acidity. Very typical Margaret River fruit with lovely lifted lemon, slightly honeyed spicy notes on palate. "

Intense mineral Loire style, great focus and lift. Very limited production.

This stylish Albarino is a stand out great value white. Poised, with bracing acidity and a touch of Atlantic salinity it also has serious weight of fruit and concentration, with a rich citrusy palate and long finish. Try it with prawns, bass, hake, anything from the sea, or on its own.

poached pears, lemon marmalade and fresh pineapple with touches of lime zest and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate has plenty of zip in its step with some herb and chalk layers emerging on the finish.

Pale gold colour with greenish tints; delicate bouquet with notes of white flowers and vanilla; dry, clean and elegant flavour with an attractive, lingering aftertaste of fruits and spices.100% Cortese

Cortese shines here: lime, almond, crisp green apple, light herbal and grassy notes. Low alcohol, no oak, bone dry. Elegant, zesty, smart choice.

An unusual, but terrific, blend showing 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. Vegan

Rolly-Gassmann is a domaine like no other and has a unique style. It is located at Rorschwihr, a sleepy village on the northern rim of Haut-Rhin. The vineyards are located in Rorschwihr and the neighbouring Rodern and Bergheim. The wines are small masterpieces with very good definition. They all carry the signature of Rolly-Gassmann, a certain shameless, velvety sweetness. The fruit is rich and manages to balance the fruit with a vibrant acidity to form wines that melt on the palate.

Lychee like. Fresh flavours, not overripe at all. Tasty. Very well judged residual sugar. Bright finish, excellent balance, surprisingly long. Very appealing.

Lovely complex nose, with notes of exotic fruits (lychee, mango) and white pepper. The mouth is full and very long. This is a wine with good freshness from lingering acidity balanced with a touch of residual sugar on the finish.

Fruit from Goldert Grand Cru. Not the typical overt Gewurztraminer style on the nose but the fruit absolutely explodes on the front palate. It’s forward and tropical but then there is some pleasing smokiness and reserve on finish. Totally different. Vibrant, varied, and flamboyant.

Instant Gewurztraminer appeal. Pure, punchy, and perfumed. Pink grapefruit and wet stones. Lifted and round with a wonderful linear backbone of acidity throughout. No oiliness. Rather intangible on the finish. Upfront but then reserved. Remarkable. Tasted at the Domaine, March 2020 (AA)

Possibly the best value expression of Gewurztraminer in the world. Simply beautiful.

Without a doubt one of the most remarkable Gewurztraminer's in production today. None of that sickly, confected, Turkish delight aromas here. This wine is pure, focussed, driven, and mineral with an intense finish reminiscent of freshly spat out lychee stones. Phenomenal.

This is a superb Kabinett. It has that slide flinty, reductive edge, and huge energy here with a sense of translucence somehow coming through over the divine fruits. t has incredible length, with a pinch of salt to finish. Refreshing, mouthwatering, succulent juice, just as a good Kabinett should be!

Deep gold, luscious almost waxy body, mature but taut and bright, explosively gorgeous.

Cool ferment, perfumed, mineral, crisp and juicy.

Low yield, old vines on arid volcanic Mt Vulture up to 800m altitude. Two ancient grapes one famed in Roman times one pre-Roman (Greco = Greek, southern Italy was Hellenic before the Romans arrived, and what did they ever do for...). Basilicata is the forgotten mid-south but in wines terms it is extraordinary and fascinating. Made by a super-modern outfit, they have lifted this into proper word-class status. Aromatic, it smells like green melon and elderflower, light, no oak, pure, snappy. A triumph. Decanter: "A lush white with striking tropical notes that would be great with a peach and burrata salad, though it has the freshness to make a fine aperitif too." One of our best-selling wines - and it is obvious why!

Wild ferment, French oak, super-grand and arresting. Decanter "lovely creaminess... packed full of flavour, intense bacon fat, spice, subtle tropical fruit... elegant style"

Clearly many steps above standard NZSB, a matserpiece of subtlety from the co-founder of Cloudy Bay.

By Kevin Judd ex-Cloudy Bay head winemaker/co-founder. His top SB, rare and indeed, wild as in unique and funky - indigenous yeast ferment in old oak. Ground-breaking top-end NZSB.
