A lovely off white, copper hue to the wine. Not quite rose, but a really appealing blush. The nose has mandarin peel, fennel and a touch of funk and wet earth. Palate is racy, with cumquat and dried flower notes. Finishes with a vanilla note, and a savoury, phenolic bite. Theres skinsy and bunchy notes throughout, but they are in harmony with the pristine fruit and energy of a white wine from this cool, humid year.

The love affair with alternative Italian varietals continues at David Hook wines. Pecorino is a new arrival, but it was well worth the wait. So latent yet complex.Very pale with a silver fleck. Grapefruit pith, yellow apple and almond aromas. Light-bodied yet very expressive with a bright mix of white and yellow fruit, an underlying nutty layer, mouth-watering acidity and a touch of talc-like grip.

Aged 15 months in oak, this wine displays green apple and hints of toasted oats on the nose, which comes through on the palate giving apple strudel flavours.

The first traces of the Hugel family in Alsace can be traced back to the XVth century. Some two centuries later, Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in Riquewihr, which had been devastated by the terrible Thirty Years War. In 1639 he was made a freeman of the city and soon took charge of the very powerful Corporation of Winegrowers. In 1672 his son built a fine house in the Rue des Cordiers, and over the doorway was carved the family crest which was the origin of the company’s logo still used today.

A classic Pinot Gris from Orange - dry and refreshing. Great value on offer from this family outfit!

Immediately appealing aromas of tropical fruits such as guava, kaffir lime and green mango against a more restrained nashi pear note. The exotic fruit profile intermingles with Asian spices such as lemongrass and pickled Japanese ginger. The palate’s medium weight demonstrates a lightness and deft touch, with long acidity and acute fruit flavours. The mineral like acidity shines through with a saline and seashell freshness.

There’s nothing quite like grüner veltliner. Its signature is a thin vein of acidity that provides a delightfully explosive mouthfeel. Its major fruit flavours are green fruits and citrus and its herbaceous character gives it notes of white pepper. This traditional example of grüner veltliner from Austria has a medium body and crisp acidity, plenty of juicy green apple flavour and a lightly spicy finish. If you’re not familiar with the varietal, it’s well worth trying as a refreshing alternative to riesling. Chosen for their specific microclimate and meagre primary rock soils, the vineyard sites were carefully hand-picked from steeply terraced vineyards throughout the Wachau valley. It exhibits a very typical and consistent style of Grüner Veltliner from Wachau characterized by fresh fruit and a pronounced minerality. Bright yellow-green in colour, this wine offers distinctive aromas of green apple, white pepper, hints of mango, balanced with delicate herbal notes. This Federspiel is a traditional example of Grüner Veltliner with its medium-body crisp acidity, juicy fruits and white spice on the finish.

Our Orange Chardonnay show classic cool climate fruit characters of white flowers and peach, integrated with barrel ferment complexity. A crisp and elegant style with lovely nectarine-like acidity. A wine to be enjoyed now or will benefit short term cellaring.

Seductive pale-yellow colour with shiny reflections. This wine reveals a nose full of freshness and deliciousness with aromas of very ripe pears and candied quince, with a hint of anise. Round and well balanced, the palate offers tangy notes before evolving towards pastry and juicy fruit aromas. The long finish is lively with a nice texture.
