By Farr Viognier 2025
$110.00According to Nick Farr, 2025 was a challenging vintage, but the warm conditions and the speed of ripening was perfect for viognier. The picking window for viognier is very narrow indeed, as once ripe, acidity falls off very quickly, and even a day late can jeopardise the entire harvest. This is the year of the […]

Dr Edge Blanc de Noir 2020
$65.00Very light colour, with a very subtle blush or taché, the aromas are fresh and mostly primary, with suggestions of iced pastries and brioche, and in the mouth it’s full and rich with quite marked acidity that drives the super-dry aftertaste. It certainly cleanses the tongue, and would be refreshing with lighter foods, especially oysters […]
