FABIEN COCHE, Bourgogne Chardonnay Grandes Coutures

Grosset Springvale Riesling from the Clare Valley sub-region of Watervale, takes its name from the Springvale Road vineyard located in the highest part of Watervale. Jeff Grosset's six hectare vineyard produces a wine full of ethereal aromatics, fragrant lemongrass and freshly squeezed lime. Pure lemon flavours over wet pebbles show on the palate that is accented by the wonderful minerality that is the signature of Grosset.

Named after the sundial erected in the vineyard in 1842, Wehlener Sonnenuhr is the most famous vineyard in the Mosel. J.J Prüm owns five hectares of this precious vineyard. Extremely steep with optimal south-south west exposure, it yields fragrantly floral wines with ripe stone fruit aromas, underlying slately minerality and wonderful depth of flavour and structure. The Auslese wines are typically more reticent when young showing vivid crystalline citrus fruit and a backbone of tingling minerally acidity that will carry it gracefully for decades.

Graacher Himmelreich is a renowned vineyard that borders the southern edge of its more famous neighbour Wehlener Sonnenuhr. The Auslese examples typically show grapefruit citrus and green apple aromas, with honeyed overtones, wonderful density and pronounced minerality carried along by signature Mosel racy acidity.

Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett is a fine example of Mosel’s renowned Rieslings. The Graacher Himmelreich vineyard, known for its cooler microclimate and slate-rich soils, produces grapes that combine ripeness with lively acidity. This terroir gives the wine a distinctive character, which the Prüm family expertly captures through traditional winemaking methods. In the glass, the wine opens with fresh aromas of green apple, citrus, and a touch of flint. On the palate, expect vibrant flavours of lime, peach, and a subtle minerality, all balanced by a delicate sweetness. The finish is crisp and clean, underscoring the wine’s finesse and purity. This Riesling Kabinett is not only a testament to the quality of the Graacher Himmelreich vineyard but also a reflection of the Prüm family’s dedication to producing wines of elegance and precision. Ideal for pairing with seafood or enjoying on its own.

Sourced and grown in the Adelaide Hills, this is a fine example of how good Chardonnay from this region can be. This is a blend of 3 different cultivars of the Chardonnay grape. Bunch pressed and in part wild fermented. Partial malolactic fermentation imparts further complexity. A beautifully textured and complex wine.
