Guillaume Vrignaud 2023 Chablis
A classic Chablis showing pure aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach layered with subtle white flowers and crushed oyster shell. The palate is taut and mineral-driven, with vibrant acidity and a fine, chalky texture framing clean citrus and orchard fruit. Linear and precise through the finish, with lingering saline lift and stony freshness that reflects its cool-climate clarity and finesse.
Deesses Muettes 2023 Viognier
An expressive, aromatic Viognier with lifted notes of apricot, white peach, and orange blossom layered with subtle honeysuckle and a touch of fresh almond. The palate is medium-bodied and gently textured, showing ripe orchard fruit balanced by soft acidity and a delicate, almost creamy mid-palate weight. Supple and perfumed through the finish, with lingering floral and stone fruit notes that keep it both lush and surprisingly fresh.
Rust En Vrede 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon
Expressive black fruit jumps out of the glass. Juicy black cherry and cassis combine with blueberries, licorice and sandalwood. Full bodied and intense on the palate. Fine grained, grippy tannins balance well with a fresh, black-fruit acidity. Tobacco, nutmeg and savory spice bring complex layers to mulberry and bramble fruit that round out the palate. A typically well-structured Cabernet with excellent length.
91pts Wine Spectator: ‘A fresh, harmonious Cabernet, offering ripe boysenberry and cassis fruit flavors counterpointed by savory notes of bay leaf, graphite, smoke and woodsy spices, with refined tannins. Drink now through 2028.’
Cedre 2019 Heritage Cahors
La Vialla 2021 Chianti Superiore
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast:
"Earthy and savory, this enjoyable red opens with aromas suggesting underbrush, camphor and wild herbs. Showing the same earthy finesse as the nose, the palate is polished and tangy, doling out crushed raspberry, blood orange, star anise and truffle. Lithe tannins and bright acidity keep it fresh, taut and balanced." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
Aydie 2022 Madiran L’Origine
A bold, Tannat-driven Madiran with intense aromas of black plum, blackberry, and cassis layered with graphite, spice, and a hint of cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and structured, showing firm, grippy tannins balanced by fresh acidity and a dense core of dark fruit, with subtle oak adding depth and polish. Powerful yet composed, finishing long and savoury with classic Madiran grip and strong cellaring potential.
Tinel-Blondelet 2023 Sancerre
Barbebelle 2024 Rose
Pennautier 2024 Viognier Languedoc
Bright golden yellow in colour, the aromas of yellow-fleshed peaches, passion fruit, apricot are accented by floral notes of rose petal and lime blossom. On the palate, it has a rich, smooth mouthfeel kept in check by fresh acidity. Excellent balance, vivid and smooth. Ideal with a seasonal salad, seafood, poultry, white meat or grilled fish.
Springfield 2024 Life Stone Sauv Blanc
Hailed as one of South Africa's premier Sauvignon Blanc wines, Life From Stone is a blockbuster that delivers consistently year after year. It takes its name from the incredibly rocky soils in which it is grown. Intense, stony, minerally Sauvignon with lime, gooseberry, freshly cut green pepper and passionfruit notes. Zippy, zesty, mouthwatering, and utterly delicious. Complex and multi-layered, this is very much a food wine.
Alchemist 2021 Pinot Noir
A vibrant and modern Pinot Noir showing lifted aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and red cherry layered with rose petal, subtle spice, and a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, silky tannins and bright acidity, delivering pure red fruit with a lightly savoury, earthy undertone. Elegant yet approachable, finishing fresh and perfumed with lingering red berries and gentle mineral lift.
Clos De La Roilette 2023 Fleurie
A beautifully lifted Cru Beaujolais with fragrant aromatics of red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate layered with violet, peony, and a subtle earthy spice. The palate is more structured than typical Fleurie, offering a medium- to full-bodied frame with ripe acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a savoury mineral edge driven by its manganese-rich soils. Juicy yet serious, with impressive depth and a long, floral-tinged finish that will reward short to medium term cellaring.
Tinel-Blondelet 2023 Pouilly-Fume Arret
Montezemolo 2019 Barolo Monfaletto
95 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2019 Vintage):
"The 2019 Barolo Monfalletto (made with organic fruit selection from across the vineyards that surround the winery in La Morra) shows grit, density and rich texture. The house style prizes muscle and brawn in this vintage that lends itself handily to these qualities. Pressed cherry and blackberry cede to licorice, cured tobacco and iron ore."
The Nebbiolo that comes off this property is some of the best in La Morra. Even in challenging vintages the Monfalletto terroir yields Nebbiolo that is both powerful and supple. Insiders know that this is one of the best terroirs in Barolo. The 2019 vintage is perhaps its best yet, with stellar ratings across the board - it captures the true essence of the Langhe region.

Champalou 2023 Vouvray Sec
A delicate straw yellow in colour. Aromas of green apples and quince. Dry, supple and elegant on the palate with further green fruit notes. The crisp finish makes this an ideal food wine. Try with a wild rice salad, escalopes of pork with a fennel and green bean salad or with a simple grilled trout.
La Frenz 2022 Viognier
La Frenz Viognier is like sunshine in a glass; bold, bright, and just the right amount of lush. Overflowing with aromas of peach, apricot, and orange blossom, it’s a juicy swirl of stone fruit and floral charm. On the palate, it’s full and silky, but never cloying, with a fresh lift that keeps everything dancing. There’s a little spice and a whisper of honey on the finish, just to keep things interesting.
Guillaume Vrignaud 2021 Chablis 1Er Cru
A more concentrated and expressive Chablis showing lifted aromas of lemon oil, ripe citrus, green apple, and white peach layered with crushed shell, flint, and subtle floral tones. The palate is structured and finely textured, with driving acidity, precise mineral tension, and a deeper core of orchard fruit balanced by a chalky, saline backbone. Long and focused on the finish, with persistent citrus zest, wet stone, and a refined, mouth-watering energy that signals excellent aging potential.
