Dom.Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes
Famille Bougrier La Croix Bois Vouvray
The Bougrier family have been growing and making wines in the Loire valley for six generations, with vineyard holdings throughout the length of the Loire Valley and its many appellations. Sourced from selected sites with clay over limestone on the Vouvray plateau, this is a classic Vouvray that demonstrates the aromatic complexity, breadth of fruit flavours, as well as the balance between subtle fruit sweetness and delicate acidity of Chenin Blanc from this region. Aromas of quince, green pears, and granny smith apples are found along with notes of jasmine. The palate opens up with an array of white stone fruits, fresh acidity, and a subtle, chalky and textural finish. A wine of great freshness, balance, and subtlety.
Gustave Lorentz Riesling Reserve
A lively refreshing acidity; lime and granny smith apple with a structured fruity yet dry finish.
Doisy Daene (Bordeaux Blanc)
Clarence Dillon Clarendelle Bordeaux White
Clear and brilliant pale-yellow colour. A complex array of aromas dominated by floral notes of hawthorn, lime blossom and honeysuckle. Tropical fruit and citrus flavours come to the fore on the palate. Notes of lemon, pineapple and grapefruit emerge, mingled with nuances of fleshy fruit such as pear and lychee. Very delicious, round and opulent on the palate, with wonderful minerality. The overall impression is of a very fruity wine. The incredibly long aftertaste showcases the complexity of this wine, with ripe fruit flavours balanced out by a lovely vivaciousness. All in all, this Clarendelle Bordeaux Blanc is a gourmet, refined wine with a great deal of tension and elegance.
Freycinet Riesling
Freycinet Riesling is pale straw in colour with a bouquet of orange blossom and honey that makes for immediate appeal. The palate is tightly structured with long citrus and grapefruit flavours. A real keeper!
Marc Brédif Vouvray
Marc Brédif Vouvray is a stylish Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. Very intense and fruity nose with notes of white flowers and quince. A unique wine in that they have the ability to age for many decades, developing palate weight and honeyed complexity as they age.
Coldstream Hills Chardonnay
