Over a century ago, in 1902, winegrowers in the village of Eguisheim decided to join forces to create one of the worlds first cooperatives in Alsace. United as one, pioneers in their field, they are continually innovating in order to preserve the quality of their wines. Today, Wolfberger is a major player in the Alsace wine landscape, in France and around the world. This golden pale Gewurztraminer shows a very expressive note with subtle notes of sweet spices (cinnamon, cardamon) and exotic fruits (mango, papaya and guava). Rich and powerful on the palate, this wine presents a great complexity: supple and ample and finishes on persistent aromatic flavours of spice and mango. Perfect match to Asian cuisine, sweet and sour dishes, strong cheeses, tarts and fruit based desserts.

Made from the Gamay grape variety it is surprising that Beaujolais is not more popular in Australia! Soft, juicy and delicious - this is the ideal picnic companion.

It is the freshest of the Beaujolais Crus and the Parisian's favourite. Fresh and fruity, light and supple, it has a pleasant aroma of violets. The true wine-lovers drink it young when the Gamay still possesses its entire aroma.

This red from France is a great introduction to Bordeaux without the expensive price tag. A deep purple colour with hint of spice and vegetal aromas. The palate is supple and round with notes of plum, leather and spice with a rich, persistent finish.

A delicious example of this gamay-based light red from southern Burgundy. Raspberry and plum aromas are direct and fruity, and the palate is light with a lingering, fragrant aftertaste.

The Guigal family owns vineyards in prime locations throughout the Appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage and Saint-Joseph from where their iconic wines are produced. The Guigal cellars are located in the centre of the town of Ampuis, on the right bank of the Rhône River, about 40 km south of Lyon. The Côtes du Rhône region stretches 200 km from Vienne in the north to Avignon in the south. Côtes-du-Rhône is the workhorse red of the southern Rhône Valley and is blended from up to 13 grape varieties, but usually leans heavily on grenache and syrah (Shiraz). Deep, bright, garnet-red in colour, it is a fresh, crisp wine with small soft fruit and spices. A full-bodied, elegant wine, with mellow tannins, warmth and aromatic intensity.

Dark ruby, a hint of meat and red raspberry fruit, then some fine tannins to finish Destemmed at 25 to 50%. Fermentation for 12 to 14 days / Daily Pum- ping-over or punch-down (only few ones). Ageing : 9-12 months in big casks - foudres 2017 will be remembered as a year heavily touched by the vagaries of the climate, with ,violent hailstorms at the beginning of the summer (where we had been touched in Moulin à Vent, Chénas and Fleurie), and widespread drought. Welcome rainfall on the day of the harvest brought a freshness that had been lacking up to that point. It enabled optimum maturity to be attained in those parcels most severely aected by hydric stress, allowing the Gamay grapes to express their full fruitiness and aromatic potential. The vines were not subject to disease in 2017, and even though their tongues were hanging out a little due to the lack of water, their sanitary condition was perfect, and the grapes that were brought in were of excellent quality - concentrated and with superb acidic balance. The thick, dense grape skins, together with the incidence of shot berries and modest proportions of juice, guaranteed magnificent levels of concentration. First tastings reveal wines that are perfectly balanced between acidity, fruit and tannins. As the vine roots needed to plunge even deeper into the earth to find their nourishment, it would appear that this year more than ever the remarkable terroirs excel in their expression. Whilst it is still a little early to define with precision, the 2017 vintage is already showing itself to be of immense quality. The vintage was compared to 2015 but the first juices confirm it, but definitely with more crispness, more elegance. Laurent Perachon is Beaujolais. The Julienas history mentions the Perrachon name in 1601. The Perrachon family acquired the domain of la Bottière, in Juliénas, in 1877. Then came the Domaine des Perelles on the Romanèche-Thorins territory, at the feet of the Moulin-à-Vent hills. The Domaine des Mouilles, now the heart of the Perrachon operations, was acquired in 1989. It is the heart of the Julienas appellation, benefiting from the best exposure and the best soils. Recently, Perrachon added smaller parcels in Chénas, Fleurie, and Saint Amour. Now, the harvest covers six appellations: Julienas of course, but also Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chenas and our latest addition, Saint-Amour. This makes us the independent winemaker in Beaujolais with the most comprehensive list of crus. Both red and rose wines come from a single varietal - Gamay. Vines are pruned short, in "goblet" and "Cordon de Royat". Part of the property is planted with very old vines, 80 to 100 years old. Perrachone also have a rare white Beaujolais made of achardonnay, the traditional varietal of the great white Burgundies. Here, the harvest is still done by hand. Traditional Burgundy winemaking techniques are combined with the carbonic maceration typical of Beaujolais. Fermenting lasts 6 to 8 days for "Villages" up to 18 days for "Terroirs selections". The wines are then maturing slowly in the 1702 cellar, to the bottling, starting around Easter.
