Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2021
$35.00The grapes are hand picked with great care and chilled overnight in a cold room. The following day they are whole-bunch pressed to a settling tank. These vineyards were picked over a period of 12 days and each day fresh juice was added to the already fermenting tanks. This extended the alcoholic fermentation by about […]

Verget Mâcon Bussieres Vignes de Montbrison 2021
$70.00Another cuvée that transcends the challenges of the vintage is the 2021 Mâcon-Bussières Vignes de Montbrison, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive white evocative of citrus zest, pear, white flowers, toasted almonds and fresh pastry. 89 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate The Mâcon-Bussières vineyard is situated to the north of the stunning […]

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 2020
$80.00The 2020 Chablis Village is a step up from the Petit Chablis, as you would expect, with more intensity and complexity; green apple and freshly-sliced pears are present on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a lightly-spiced entry, hints of stem ginger interpolating the malic fruit with a nicely weighted finish. Give this […]

Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully 1er Cru Le Meix Cadot 2020
$130.00Out of Stock
“Dureuil’s 2020 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot is showing brilliantly in bottle, bursting with aromas of lime, crisp Anjou pear, stone fruit, white flowers and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, this is more chiseled and precise than I perceived just after bottling, concluding with an electric finish.” 94 points, William Kelley, The Wine […]

$105.00Out of Stock
“The 2020 Rully Blanc is deep and vibrant, revealing notes of pear, freshly baked bread, Meyer lemon, mint and hazelnuts.

Weinbach Schlossberg Grand Cru Riesling 2020
$185.00Delightfully firm with so much personality and the sensation that you are licking stones in the vineyard! So firm, so pungent, yet so fruity. Gorgeous wine, essence of Riesling and already approachable. Steely finish suggests a long life ahead. Bone dry and very long. 17.5 points, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com The Schlossberg hill has long been […]

La Soufrandière Mâcon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Père 2021
$90.00Biodynamic. This comes from a very old, genuine Clos (walled vineyard) that sits on a very rocky, hard limestone bedrock that’s close to the surface and is believed to be an old Roman path. This vineyard is on the lower part of the Pouilly-Vinzelles slope and is therefore classed as Mâcon-Vinzelles. The site was purchased by […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Leon 2020
$70.00Leon is Jonathan Pabiot’s estate wine. Drawn from the region’s three main soil types of silex, caillottes and terres blanches. The vines are planted at 10,000 to the hectare, cropping a miserly 30 hl/ha. Now we enter the world of soil and climate. Aged in a mixture of stainless steel, oak and concrete, the choice […]

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2021
$100.00The Anjou Blanc is from old densely planted vines, rooted in shallow sand and schist soils. Aged for up to 18 months in 500L and Stockinger “cigar” barrels, 30% of which are new. This is certainly the estates signature style, if more approachable, fuller and rounder than the more aristocratic Savennieres. Clear, tender, transparent and […]

Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chenin Blanc 2022
$25.00The grapes for this wine come predominantly from selected vineyards in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Swartland. Owing to the nature of bush vines, careful canopy management was exercised so that no bunches were exposed to excessive sunlight and that an even ripening of the grapes was ensured. The 2022 harvest started very late due to covld […]

Alheit Vineyards Hereafter Here Chenin Blanc 2021
$65.00First produced in 2020, this Chenin Blanc hails from dry farmed, bush vine vineyards that are less than 20 years’ old, blending components from Stellenbosch and the Swartland. Savoury and refreshing, with mouth-watering acidity, rock salt and lemongrass flavours and the zip that’s typical of the 2021 whites. 94 points – TIm Atkin MW […]

Crystallum Ferrum Chardonnay 2021
$87.00The grapes for the second release of Ferrum Chardonnay are sourced from a one hectare slice of 12 year old vines located within a seven hectare vineyard block on iron rich soils that lies just three kilometres beyond the Creation Winery (in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge) at Shaw’s Mountain in the Overberg. The other six hectares […]

Antoine Jobard Bourgogne Blanc 2021
$145.00“Hmm – now that’s nice – a very Meursault nose. Direct, a little muscle, plenty of structure but beautifully mouthwatering too. Steely finishing even – that’s simply excellent! Lovely citrus bitters vibrating in the finish…” Bill Nanson Burgundy Report “Pale colour with a pretty bouquet of no particular emphasis. Then much more depth than expected, […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Elisa 2021
$60.00We should start with the Elisa (previously named Prelude), a blend of material from young vines across the 15 hectares of estate vineyards. This is the most overtly fruit driven and high toned, indeed closer to the cliched notion of Sauvignon Blanc. Stainless steel ageing for between 8 to 12 months has gifted a rich […]

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2021
$80.00The 2021 Hemelrand Vine Garden is one of Chris Alheit’s biggest successes and encapsulates everything great about his wine. Initially quite neutral, it reveals wondrous sea spray, honeysuckle, Provençal herbs and hints of powdered chalk on the nose. The palate has exquisite balance, very cohesive and intense, yet the acidity keeps this so fresh with […]

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre 2020
$130.00“The 2020 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru comes from three parcels and taken was directly from used barrel. The elegant bouquet features orange blossom, yellow flowers and a light minerally scent that emerges with time. The palate is just lovely: beautifully defined, cohesive and poised, with tangible mineralité and touches of white peach and […]

La Soufrandiere Macon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Pere 2020
$85.00Delicate aromatics, not so much closed but hinting. Cool, herbal notes with lemon, preserved lime, grapefruit, white peach and nectarine. Super energy, not surging, but rather like a dancer, each step revealing something new. Chiseled and compact, this has so much more to offer if you can be patient. Mandarin, sage, lemon oil, green mango, […]

Paul Prieur Sancerre Blanc 2020
$75.00Paul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine. I can’t help but think that this is ideally situated, in a sense, mid-slope, the perfect aspect in Burgundy. Impossibly complex, with notes of white flowers, lemon, lime, […]

Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom 2022
$165.00“This is a wonderful expression of his Citrusdal Mountain farm, and something of a tribute to Henk Laing, the grower who passed away last year. Combining Semillon with around 15% interplanted Semillon Gris, this is less exotic than it can be, showing layers of honeysuckle, saffron, citrus and herbs supported by fresh, sappy minerality, a […]

Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Le Clos de Fremine 2021
$205.00Clos de Fremine is planted just below the winery, across the lane from Clos de la Hutte. The soil is sand over schist and what’s most surprising is how different the shape and structure is to Clos de la Hutte. Clos de Fremine is the most delicate, refined, lifted and floral with a structure of […]

La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles 2021
$100.00Supremely complex as you would expect from such a venerated producer. Honey, spring jasmine, lime, grapefruit, honeydew, green apple, discreet oak and Jersey cream. Sumptuous, rich and tangy, fleshy and tingling. Utterly singular, with the energy and verve of riesling and decadence of chardonnay. Wonderful now, but even better in 7 or 8 years and […]

Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2021
$225.00Limozin is another beautifully positioned lieu-dit, tucked under the Premiers Crus and bordering Les Charmes, Les Genevrières and Les Poruzots. It’s a clay-rich terroir that typically produces a particularly intense, mineral, long-lived Meursault. The ancient vines, planted in 1937, bring extra concentration and power to the terroir. As always, it’s denser than the Chevalières but also incredibly racy and mineral. […]

Theo Dancer Vin de France Alpestre Gringet 2021
$155.00Out of Stock
Dominique Belluard, who sadly passed away in July 2021, was arguably the greatest Savoie vigneron of his generation. His domaine, based in Ayze, is only about 50 kilometres from Mont Blanc and among his many achievements was his championing of the unique grape variety, Gringet—indigenous to the Alps. Gringet thrives at altitudes over 500 metres in the calcareous glacial […]

Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019

Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Clos Sand Lieux Dits 2019
$85.00Essentially a monopole of the estate, with new high density plantings. A high, cool vineyard of granite, very steep and surrounded by woodland. The sparse and rocky soils a pivot point towards finesse, and although the wines are rich, full bodied and shapely, they are slightly more discreet, elegant, linear and fine. Brioche notes, […]

La Soufrandiere Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2020
$125.00Perhaps the emblematic wine of the estate, combining tension, palate weight and power. The high tones, flowers, saltiness and fruit weight are dialled up here, and at this point are in contrast to each other. Time, preferably lots of it will see these two sides come together, although this is one of the most remarkably […]

$50.00The nose shows a little reduction before lemon, naartjie (mandarin), stone fruit, cut apple and a little nuttiness.
