Selection
Riecine 2017 Riecine di Riecine Rosso Toscana IGT 750 mL
Raspberry, strawberry and goji berry lead a fragrant, finely detailed nose, with violet, dried orange and a light mushroom note adding depth. The palate is juicy and fresh, carrying sour cherry and darker fruit through crisp acidity and soft, closely woven tannins. Medium to full in body but never heavy, it remains balanced and smooth through a clean, savoury finish. Serve with roast pork, mushroom ragù or aged pecorino.
Riecine 2020 La Gioia Toscana IGT 750 mL
Plum and balsamic notes open with fresh earth and stone, followed by mushroom, grilled meat and a gentle floral lift. The palate is generous and softly ripe, yet assertive acidity and tannin keep the fruit firmly in balance. A savoury, umami-rich middle gives way to a lightly astringent plum-skin note on the finish. Decant before serving with bistecca, braised beef, wild mushrooms or aged pecorino.
Rigour & Whimsy 2019 Hyperdrive 750 mL
Orchard fruit leads with a firm line of acidity and a clear sense of structure. Pinot Blanc provides the wine's spine, while Viognier adds a more expressive counterpoint and broadens the aromatic profile. The two varieties were fermented separately before blending, preserving their distinct roles. The result is energetic and unconventional, with fruit and freshness held in a focused, well-defined frame.
Rigour & Whimsy 2021 Bite of the Dragon Riesling
Bright and focused, with a dry, high-acid profile built for the table. Whole-cluster pressing preserves clarity, while barrel fermentation and four months in seasoned oak add measured texture without obscuring the wine's energy. The finish is firm, clean and persistent, making the wine especially suited to bold, savoury flavours.
Rigour & Whimsy 2021 Licorice Daddy Cabernet Franc
Fresh red fruit and green herbs meet in a bright, savoury profile. The palate is dry and energetic rather than jammy, with whole-berry fermentation preserving lift and three weeks on skins adding gentle structure. Five months in seasoned French oak rounds the texture, carrying the herbaceous fruit into a composed finish.
Rigour And Whimsy 2022 A Love We All Drm
A fragrant, finely structured red with dark plum and wild blackberry, lifted by iris and scrubby herbs. The palate is slender and energetic, with black tea, crushed stone and a firm, fine-grained grip giving definition to the fruit. Savoury and mineral on the finish, it is best served with roast poultry, grilled mushrooms or herb-seasoned pork.
Rippon 2019 Mature Vine Riesling
Green apple, sliced pear and bright citrus lead with a delicate floral lift and cool wet-stone minerality. The palate is medium-bodied and nearly dry, driven by mouthwatering acidity through juicy orchard fruit and lemon peel. Clean, precise and persistent, the finish remains fresh and mineral. Pair with grilled fish, shellfish or lightly spiced vegetables.
River Stone 2022 Estate Pinot Gris
Apple, pear, melon and stone fruit give the nose a generous, inviting start. The palate is gently off-dry but kept lively by balanced acidity, with a subtle mineral note adding definition through the centre. Smooth and refreshing, it carries the fruit into a long, clean finish. Serve lightly chilled with roast chicken, creamy cheeses, grilled prawns or lightly spiced vegetable dishes.
River Stone 2022 Sparkling White Merlot
River Stone Estate Winery 2022 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Passion fruit, ripe gooseberry and pink grapefruit lead, with melon, pineapple and a subtle herbal lift. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, balancing a gently creamy texture with bright, mouthwatering acidity. Mineral detail carries through a long, clean finish. Fresh and composed, it is an easy match for white fish, shellfish or herb-led vegetable dishes.
River Stone Estate Winery 2022 Splash White
An aromatic, gently off-dry white with ripe pear, white peach and a touch of tropical fruit. The palate stays light and streamlined, bringing crunchy Asian pear, subtle spice and refreshing lift through the finish. Easygoing but polished, it suits mildly spiced dishes, fresh cheeses or a relaxed aperitif, served well chilled.
