The wine tastes remarkably good: concentrated, aromatic, and complex. The speed with which the grapes became concentrated preserved magnificent vivaciousness. The wines are truly brilliant.

The first whiff of this restrained Sauvignon Blanc indicates a departure from the hugely aromatic styles of Marlborough. It has a delicate floral nose with an inkling of Indian spice while the fruit is more stone-fruit than tropical. The palate is elegant, texturally soft with a mouthfeel of freshness and breadth. The cool climate of the Loire produces wines with distinctive freshness, a lean acidity and a spicy or steely spine.

Domaine Huet L'Echansonne is the leading producer in the Vouvray region of the Loire Valley. It is known for its range of Chenin Blanc wines from that appellation, which are prized for their richness and concentration as well as their great ability to age.

Made from one of the oldest Languedoc grapes, Belardent is an outstanding white wine from the Mediterranean sea shores. Carefully crafted according to Appellation winemaking specification, it also benefits from the winemaking history of its production area. Refreshing, it has lovely aromas of citrus and mineral flavours that will get along perfectly with seafood delights! The Picpoul de Pinet winegrowing area runs along the southern French coast, separated from the waves of the Mediterranean only by the Etang de Thau. This lagoon is Frances second largest lake. Harboured by the town of Sète, it is famous for its delicious oysters that are the perfect combination for a Picpoul de Pinet. The Picpoul de Pinet terroir consists of a triangle bounded by Agde, Pézenas and Sète : a limestone plateau basking in the rising sun covered with highly perfumed garrigue, rows of vines, and scattered pine groves. Thanks to its terroir, the region produces mineral wines with lovely and refreshing citrus aromas.

Very pale straw yellow and fine, persistent perlage. The aroma is fruity and flowery with hints of ripe golden apple and small mountain flowers. The dry, soft and flavoursome sensation on the palate is followed by a fruity and harmonious aftertaste.

The best modern Aussie whites offer an abundance of sun-ripened fruit balanced by crisp, zingy refreshment. None more so than Yarrunga Field, and the 2018 is as fruity and fresh as ever.
