Benanti 2023 Etna Bianco
Grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, this wine is basically liquid lava rock in the best way: cool, crisp, and quietly powerful. Benanti Etna Bianco is all about minerality and finesse, with zesty citrus, green apple, and a hint of wild herbs swirling together like an ocean breeze through mountain air. The palate is lean but textured, with a savoury, smoky edge that lingers long after your last sip. It’s elegant, electric, and unmistakably Etna.
Verrier & Fils N/V Tradition
75% Meunier, 20% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Noir
Aged in Cellar 4 Years before Release
The nose opens with a welcoming intensity and delicious tones of almonds and cherries that develops into darker berries and pastries.
The palate is effervescent yet robust. Well-structured tannins flesh out the perfectly balanced acidity, with notes of grapefruit and apple, and ending with a lingering finish that will have you reaching for another glass.
Les Troix Croix 2019 Fronsac
Sunsoaked blackberry with subtle hints of cocoa and vanilla swirl like the softest whispers of a cozy bonfire on the nose. There's a charming minerality here too, like a sprinkle of earthy magic, reminding you that this wine hails from the Fronsac. The tannins; smooth operators, gliding effortlessly into a finish that really lingers. A perfect companion for a rich dinner or an evening of storytelling with friends!
