Hughes and Hughes Dornfelder 2019

$40.00 per single bottle
Delicious! Ballistically so. Sluice of sweet cherry, red vermouth-like characters, minty notes and floral things. Has amazingly fresh and frisky acidity, some slick and pull to tannins, juiciness then a squeaky finish with loads of spice and a touch of smoky-slatey minerality. So much deliciousness. Moreish, amazing thing. 94 points – Mike Bennie, The Winefront […]

Just the perfect marriage of ripe succulent fruit, drying powdery tannins and vibrant acidity. Bargain. WWC, January 2019. This is an aromatic, vital, young Rioja bursting at the seams with aromas and flavours of red […]

Clos Naudin Vouvray Demi-Sec 2017
$75.00in any six
$87.00 per single bottle
Clos Naudin is one of the great Vouvray estates. Although the wine is off-dry, the sweetness lends it incredible tension and some extra heft. Clos Naudin’s 2017 Vouvray Demi-Sec has an uncanny quality of richness and texture combined with explosive energy. Very complex notes of quince, peach, stone fruits, walnut, and honey, never straying into […]

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2017
$66.00in any six
$76.00 per single bottle
Chenin as Riesling. The 2017 Anjou Blanc from Thibaud Boudignon is utterly different from the ‘a Francoise’. Tighter, finer and more linear, the fruit profile is more citrus and white peach, rather than the yellow fruits of the ‘a Francois’. Rippling power and energy, the fruit really dominates with faint notes of lavender honey, nuts […]

Terroir Sense Fronteres Brisat 2017
$54.00in any six
$62.00 per single bottle
The dark-straw color with orange reflexes and the bold tannins on the palate mean that this is, in some sense, an orange wine. Lots of nuts and dried herbs, but also some dried apricot on the nose. Quite long. Mostly grenache blanc plus some macabeu. Drink or hold. 92 points, JamesSuckling.com Brisat is made from […]

Cavallotto’s single vineyard Dolcetto D’Alba Vigna Scot DOC 2016 hails from 2.3 hectares of 30 year-old vines located within Castiglione Falletto’s legendary Monprivato cru.

$44.00 per single bottle
The tiny village of Ábalos lies just a kilometre or so from the Rioja Alta’s border with Rioja Alavasa. Forming a small pocket between the River Ebro and the Basque mountains to the north, the rocky terroir of this area has more in common with nearby Alavesa – the soils are rich in limestone, the […]

Francois Chidaine Les Bournais Montlouis 2016

$85.00 per single bottle
Unlike most of Montlouis, which is on clay and flint, this four hectare vineyard (planted in 1998) lies on a pocket of clay and Bournais limestone, the stone from which it takes its name. It’s a beautiful site, certainly one of Montlouis’ finest. Chidaine’s vinification here is exactly the same as his Clos de Breuil […]

The vineyard, replanted in […]
