Villalin 2022 Quincy Sauvignon Blanc
$44.99The Quincy appellation in the east of the Loire Valley has a very long and unique history, having been named France’s second AOC following Chateauneuf du Pape.
Husband and wife team make a rich and textured Sauvignon Blanc that shines as bright as its close neighbours from Sancerre and Pouilly Fume. Quincy cultivates citrus notes such as grapefruit, hints of menthol and pepper, and aromas of acacia and white flowers. Its mouthfeel is a combination of fresh and fruity.
Baumard 2022 ‘La Caleche’
$37.99Low yields, hand harvesting and farmed according to organic principles. 9 months in vats on fine lees.
Aromas of pears, lemons, peaches and honey with floral and mineral hints. Great tension on the palate, which is pure with persistence and incredible precision. An easy wine to drink with well-balanced acidity and great structure.
Bodegas Gaintza 2019 Getariako Txakolina Aitako
$44.9985% Hondarrabi Zuri, 15% Chardonnay
Fully hand-harvested. Fermentation is mostly in stainless steel at low temperatures to preserve aromas, using natural yeasts. Apple and pineapple aromas. Fresh and mineral with good body, roundness and balance.
Ricco Bambino 2018 Muscat
$14.99The winery focuses on creating minimal intervention wines by fermenting and aging in concrete vessels, allowing for micro-oxygenation. This process helps develop a rounder mouthfeel and texture without introducing flavors from oak or additives. This interesting Muscat is a steal at 14.99.
Romiorange Sauvignon Blanc
$41.99This skin contact Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with light dishes – think fresh salads, goat cheese, or delicate fish like sole or plaice. It’s also delightful on its own, perhaps enjoyed during a leisurely picnic or as an aperitif on a warm day.
