This is the most delicious native white Northern Italian grape you've probably never heard of! Aromas of lime and lemon zest, green herbs, flowers and ripe apricots. The palate is fleshy, zippy, clean and crisp. Stunning.
Classy Chardonnay with flinty minerality and great purity and restraint. A citrus core with ripe apple, pear and delicate tropical notes, produces a wine with great poise. Extended time on the lees adds nutty and toasty notes. Intense yet delicate right through to the finish.
Fresh and zesty with grassy and dry bay leaf aromatics, fynbos (indidgenous South African bush), mineral notes, with hints of richness. This is a restrained Sauvignon Blanc with a palate that has lots of minerality and citrus with just a touch of green pepper and grass.
Bready aromas and dried herbaceous notes, including fennel and aniseed dominate the nose, followed by a creamy lemon character. The palate is reminiscent of the nose, with great textural complexity, attributable to the long, slow wild yeast fermentation.
Elegant, beautifully balanced Montagny made by Franboise Feuillat-Juillot. An expressive nose of delicate yellow fruits with a touch of honey. The palate is rounded and luscious, with ripe stone fruit balanced by silky acidity, leaving a finish that is bright and fruit-driven.
Glowing golden-yellow colour and a well-rounded, intense nose that conjures up the original grapes, with notes of tropical fruit. The flavour is dry and full bodied, soft, tangy and caressing, with an elegant, pleasantly persistent fruity aftertaste of ripe pear and green almond.
A fine, delicate dry white with classic Riesling aromas of crunchy fresh green apple, lime and a touch of lemongrass. The palate has citrus and stone fruit characters, with mineral notes adding complexity to the finish.
Fragrant aromas of ripe apricot and citrus and more ripe stone fruit on the palate along with a clean, saline minerality and a zesty lemon sherbert character. The style is appealingly off-dry with a well-balanced, crisp finish.
Fresh, delicate aromas of citrus and pear with hints of lime. The palate is complex with zesty, ripe stone fruit, crisp acidity and mineral notes. The finish is pure, long and elegant with an appealing lightly saline edge.
Poised, yet complex nose with notes of honeysuckle, stone fruit and gentle toasty oak. The palate is beautifully textured, with an almost exotic note, evident yet perfectly integrated oak and ripe fruit. Complex and with a long toasty, citrus finish. The real skill is creatinga wine with such fantastic freshness in as warm a vintage as 2022.
Fresh almost tropical aromas then stone fruit and citrus on the palate with a creamy texture, mineral notes, vibrant acidity and classic saline characters. Quite ripe and complex in style but with fresh balancing acidity and a classic saline character. This is an absolute benchmark Albariño from one of the top producers - the '23 vintage being oe of the best in recent memory, according to winemaker Diego Ríos.
Granbazán Limousin shows that Albarino can be world class - not just when lees-aged, but also with careful oak maturation. The aromas explode out of the glass with ripe peach, melon and marzipan character. Though this richness carries on to the palate, there is fantastic tension and brightness on display too. Alongside all the fruits the wine has lightly spicy notes and a saline, refreshing finish.
This Italian white wine has a honeyed, floral and spicy nose with hints of ginger and stone fruit. Ripe, sun-dried citrus characters follow on the palate with savoury notes and a creamy texture. There is a fresh balancing acidity and a lightly nutty finish.
