Chateau Bourgneuf 2016

$35.00A 54/24/18% blend, wild yeast open-fermented, matured for 10 months in used French oak.

But it’s usually in […]

Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2016
$90.00Sensual and suave, with flavours I haven’t found in a Vat 1 before. Just when I thought I knew what to expect! Preserved lime, fresh lemon, cream, kiwifruit, gardenia and honeysuckle. Subtle and very young. This seems quite open, but I feel this will shut down soon and be the better for it. A wonderful […]
