Lark Hill have been the pioneers of this traditional Austrian variety. It was back in 2002 when Jancis Robinson visited the vineyards and stated that Lark Hill was the perfect place to grow Grüner Veltliner due to its overall terroir. With links to bio-dynaimc farming already being established, Chris Carpenter thought it was the obvious connection to begin making Grüner. Wonderfully fragrant with more than a hint of spice, Lark Hill's Grüner has a lovely textural component to it as well making it an ideal match white fish, shell fish and subtle charcuterie.

DOMAINE MASSON-BLONDELET Clos du Château Paladi, Pouilly-Fume

A great expression of Sauvignon Blanc, with plenty of tomato vine and flinty character, with a lick of passionfruit and stonefruit. Ripe and expressive, with great citrus characters. Great weight and texture.

Organic. As always, this was drawn from mature, 35- to 40-year-old vines rooted entirely in the limestone soils of Chavignol. The multiple sites are largely sloping vineyards on the lower flanks of the Chavignol hillside terroirs of Les Chasseignes, Les Longues Fins and La Rue de Vaux. Importantly, Boulay also includes fruit from his younger vines growing on the great hillsides of Clos de Beaujeu, Monts Damnés and La Grande Côte. The juice was naturally fermented and aged for nine months in tank on lees, with a small volume also fermented in a single large wooden cask.

Umamu create exquisite handcrafted wines from Margaret River. Each bottle is deliberately and meticulously created: from the delicate balance tasted within each glass, to the small touches of family handwriting and messages on our labels. Our philosophy has always been to give our wines time to develop in the bottle before release, a rarity in today’s market. Enjoying wines when they are ready to drink, rather than straight after bottling, when the wine has had time to develop and balance up in the bottle with no screaming parts. This cane cut is produced from Sauvignon Blanc vines planted in 1987. Hand harvested on the 17th of April at 23 baume. Fruit cold crushed to press and cold settled before a 12 o C ferment in barrel. Aged on light lees for four months before bottling.

Product Information: The vines are all planted to Sauvignon Blanc and sit on the south-west slope of the hill next to the village of Saint Andelain. Here the soils consist of clay and limestone from the Kimmeridgian era, perfect to bring the light freshness to Sauvignon. His vinification method includes minimal intervention, with a focus on clarity of the terroir, producing wines of vibrant elegance Antoine Gouffier's dedication and respect for terroir is on full display in his Sauvignon Blancs from Pouilly-Fumé. His wines display a fruity, floral, and intense minerality. As a young vigneron at the helm of Domaine du Bouchot, his wines express a vibrant, elegant, balanced tension. Antoine is truly raising the bar in this appellation. Maker: In 2019, Antoine Gouffier purchased Domaine du Bouchot, from Rachel and Pascal Kerbiquet who had been running it as a family estate since 1987. As a Loire native himself, Antoine has a profound understanding and connection to the land, which lead him to farm the land organically. In 2009 Domaine du Bouchot was the first in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation to become certified organic, and fittingly Antoine was the one to finalised the biodynamic certification. Bouchot holds 10-hectares, which is mainly planted to Sauvignon Blanc, with a few vines of Chasselas, on the southwest side of the hill from the village of Saint-Andelain. The wines reflect the unmistakable character of each of the vineyards: the Kimmeridgian marl soil is of white clay, limestone, and fossilised oysters from ancient seabeds, and the Portlandian terroir (limestone with layered, small rocks) lend a flinty, mineral quality to the wines - the differentiating characteristics lending to a unique purity and clarity. Domaine du Bouchots wines are excellent representations of a sometimes-overlooked appellation and are vibrant, elegant, and balanced. Philosophy: Antoine believes in minimal intervention in his winemaking, using indigenous yeast and stainless steel for fermentation. He is also experimenting with amphorae. The wines are vinified without sulfur. The Domaine produces three different Pouilly-Fumé: Cuvée Terres Blanches from the Kimmeridgian marl soils, Cuvée Les Caillotes from Portlandian soils, and Cuvée 1955 from the oldest vines on the estate. All fruit is handpicked, the yeasts are indigenous and the wine is made with as little pumping as possible. Aged on its fine lees in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, the wine is bottled in the spring after a very light filtration. Nose - Lemon Juice, Herbs, Stony Minerals A lovely balance of lemon juice and zest and dry, stony minerals. Light notes of herbs add another dimension to the mix. Palate - Medium, Pear, Tension This mid-weight style is clearly balanced with masses of refreshment. Partial malo has lent additional softness to the palate. Finish - Classy, White Pepper, Refreshing Plenty of minerality and acidity, together forming a long, classy finish.

R de Rieussec, Château Rieussec's dry white wine, is a blend of 59% Sauvignon Blanc and 41% Sémillon, with 20% fermented in barrels to enhance aging potential. It features a beautiful bouquet of citrus-tinged tropical fruits. On the palate, it is powerful and harmonious, showcasing flavors of citrus, mango, and papaya, complemented by energetic acidity and a textured mouthfeel. The finish is complex and refreshing. Perfectly paired with Asian dishes, spicy fried chicken, or mixed vegetables, this wine is a delightful choice for a variety of culinary experiences.

McHenry Hohnen is the quintessential family owned business with Murry McHenry and David Hohnen being brothers-in-law and the winemaking now being handled by David's son-in-law Ryan Walsh. With decades of Western Australian winemaking and selling history behind David and Murray the wines being produced are of utmost purity and subtlety. The Burnside Chardonnay is a relative recent addition to the range and is a funky, wild little number with attractive stone fruit characters that are balanced by a beautiful natural acidity.

This winery retains its cult status by continually producing wines of poise, class and adhering to strict biodynamic principals. The Bannockburn Chardonnay is at this stage pert and linear, with floral and citrus notes. It will take a little time for this little gem to begin to give up its secrets.
