2022
Château Pierrousselle 2022 Bordeaux Magnum
Redcurrant, cherry and plum lead an open, perfumed aroma, with vanilla and sweet spice adding gentle warmth. The palate is medium-bodied and rounded, balancing ripe raspberry and dark fruit with soft tannins and fresh acidity. Hints of cocoa, smoke and dried herbs add depth without making the wine heavy. The finish is mellow and fruit-led, leaving berries, spice and a light savoury note.
City Side Winery 2022 Mystic Pearl Viognier
Seductive and highly aromatic, with ripe peach and apricot framed by lifted floral notes. The softly textured palate is medium bodied, balancing orchard-fruit richness with enough acidity to keep every detail precise. Generous without becoming heavy, it finishes poised and perfumed. Serve well chilled with roast poultry, richer seafood, mildly spiced curries or grilled vegetables.
Phantom Creek 2022 Small Lot Chardonnay
Peach blossom, stone fruit and lavender open the nose, followed by lemon cream and a clear mineral line. Fresh lemon drives the palate, while hazelnut, clove, ripe peach and poached pear add breadth and detail. Integrated French oak brings a smooth, gently dense texture without muting the fruit, leaving a composed finish that suits roast poultry, halibut or creamy pasta.
Narrative 2022 Rosé
Clement Lavallee 2022 Bourgogne Aligote Pariot
Bright, zippy and mineral-driven, with a clean line of acidity and a restrained, lightly textured palate. Native-yeast fermentation in stainless steel and neutral barrels preserves freshness while adding quiet depth. The style is precise rather than showy, making it a natural partner for oysters, grilled prawns, white fish, fresh cheeses, roast chicken or a simple plate of buttered vegetables.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis Les Ardill
An energetic Chablis from old-vine clay-limestone soils, with a taut mineral profile and measured weight. Ageing partly in seasoned barrels and partly in stainless steel on the lees gives the palate texture without obscuring its freshness. Vibrant and focused through the finish, it pairs naturally with oysters, grilled fish, roast chicken or creamy shellfish dishes.
Clement Lavallee 45 Degrees 2022 Chablis
A focused Chablis with green apple, pear and citrus set against lightly salted butter and a chalky mineral note. The palate is richly textured but well balanced, with bright acidity carrying the orchard fruit through a long, precise finish. Its combination of depth and freshness is particularly good with oysters, roast fish, poultry or firm alpine cheese.
Chavy Chouet 2022 Les Grands Charrons Meursault
Bright pale gold, with ripe lemon zest, white acacia, fresh hazelnut and a subtle flinty reduction. Concentrated white peach and citrus oil give the palate breadth, while crisp acidity keeps the texture focused. The finish is long, saline and chalky, balancing quiet richness with the precision and energy of fine white Burgundy.
Vina Echeverria 2022 Romi Orange Sauvignon Blanc
Golden-amber and gently textured, with honeyed rosehip and orange blossom leading a bright, aromatic profile. The palate is zesty and fresh, carrying the subtle grip of skin contact without becoming heavy. Citrus-led energy keeps the finish clean and easy. Serve lightly chilled with goat cheese, leafy salads, grilled prawns, delicate white fish or savoury grain dishes.
Somos 2022 Biodynamic Vermentino McLaren Vale
Citrus blossom, green apple and ripe lemon lead, followed by white peach, sea spray and a faint nutty note. The palate is crisp yet layered, with bright acidity running through a creamy, lees-shaped texture. A gentle savoury edge and briny minerality keep the fruit precise, carrying citrus and orchard fruit into a clean, refreshing finish.
Dog Point 2022 Sauvignon Blanc
Lime and grapefruit lead with flint, baked apple and finely drawn green-herb notes. The palate is crisp and chalky, built around juicy citrus, white pepper and a refreshing saline mineral line. Clean acidity gives the fruit drive and length without excess weight. Serve with oysters, grilled fish, goat cheese or herb-led salads.
Greywacke 2022 Wild Sauvignon Blanc
Lychee, ripe mango and white flowers lead an intricate bouquet, with tarragon and thyme adding a distinctive herbal edge. The palate is broad and succulent, bringing gooseberry compote, citrus and a subtle saline note into focus. Bright acidity keeps the texture energetic, while savoury complexity and a fine mineral finish reward a slightly larger glass.
Elephant Island 2022 Cassis
Deeply concentrated black currant fruit leads with an exuberant, almost liqueur-like intensity. The palate is rich and sweet, yet the vivid fruit keeps the profile energetic rather than heavy. A smooth, generous texture carries through the finish, leaving a long, unmistakably dark-berry impression with enough freshness to invite another small pour.
Elephant Island 2022 Blackcurrant Wine
Vibrant cassis and dark berry fruit lead this medium-sweet, medium-bodied dessert wine. The palate is concentrated yet balanced, with lively acidity lifting the lush fruit and keeping the sweetness in check. A gently tangy line brings freshness to the close, leaving a generous, fruit-forward finish that remains bright and composed.
Meyer Family 2022 Micro Cuvée Chardonnay
Lemon, mandarin, vanilla and honey open a rich but finely defined nose. The palate brings ripe peach, yellow apple and orange together with vibrant acidity, while lees ageing and French oak add breadth without obscuring the fruit. The texture remains harmonious and composed through a persistent, elegant finish.
Le Vieux Pin 2022 Syrah Cuvée Classique Okanagan Valley
Black and white peppercorn frame red bramble fruit, black olive, aromatic herbs and a savoury note of rusted iron. Structured but not heavy, the palate is defined by restraint and a cool, peppery drive rather than overt richness. The finish remains dark, herbal and composed. Decant briefly and serve with lamb, beef or grilled mushrooms.
Blue Grouse 2022 Quill Red
Blueberry pie and cassis lead into juicy red currant, plum and cranberry. Medium-bodied on the palate, it balances bright acidity with soft, plush tannins and a generous core of fruit. Subtle earth and a whisper of spice add savoury definition, carrying the berries through a smooth, lively and quietly persistent finish.
Lunessence 2022 Field White
White summer flowers and citrus blossom lead, followed by crisp green apple and a quiet mineral note. The palate is dry and medium-plus in weight, balancing lively acidity with ripe stone fruit, juicy pear and fresh citrus. A subtle touch of spice shapes the clean finish, keeping the blend bright, precise and food-friendly.
Orofino 2022 Gamay 1.5 L Pouch
Juicy red berries lead a bright, energetic palate with light body, low tannins and a clean line of zippy acidity. The fruit stays pure and immediate, while an unfined and unfiltered approach preserves a gently savoury edge. Fresh enough for a light chill, this pouch is a flexible match for burgers, grilled sausages, roast chicken or vegetable skewers.
