Bannockburn Chardonnay
Pale, straw colour with insinuations of green. Overt, ripe varietal fruit characters on the nose - pineapple, citrus and nectarine derived are from the warm vintage conditions. Mineral characters, orange blossom and almond meal along with some lees derived creaminess are all balanced within this multi-dimensional palate.
Stefano Lubiana Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvy blancs can be simply good, wet and chilled summertime refreshers to enjoy on their own without thinking too much about them or to have with natural oysters, simple fish and other seafood Then you have the occasional rare and sophisticated ones, like the Lubiana, which are pure pleasure on their own or can be shown off to advantage against the simplicity of a buttery, tarragon flavoured, roast chicken.
C&F Berthier Terre de Silex Giennois
The Berthier family have been winegrowers for five generations, with Clement and Florian taking over the reins in 2012 to continue the family tradition. Clement is responsible for winemaking and sales, while Florian is focused on the vineyards. Coteaux du Giennois, located northwest of Pouilly-Fume on the right bank of the Loire river, is the family's flagship appellation. This particular parcel selection is from soils made up primarily for quartz and flint (silex in French), giving the exotic, crunchy gooseberry characters with gunstone minerality. Expressive with a juicy thread of acidity and concentration on the palate, this is an incredible Sauvignon Blanc packed full of purity and energy.
Pierro LTC Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
If you want to try the benchmark in this style then look no further than Pierro. A clean and concentrated palate of lemon sherbet and gooseberry with a hint of oak influence. LTC stands for 'little touch of Chardonnay' which adds the right amount of palate weight and complexity.
