WHITE WINES

Sauvignon de Touraine 2022, Domaine de Rablais (Loire) £31.50

Downstream from the famous Villages of Sancerre and Pouilly comes this wonderfully expressive, zesty Sauvignon with gorgeous crisp flavours on both nose and palate which make your mouth water just to think about them! As a drink on its’ own or with food, it is a delight.

Chardonnay 2022 Gran Reserva, Nostros – Casablanca, Chile £34.50

If anybody is still dragging their feet when it comes to getting back onto the Chardonnay bandwagon, just point them at this little gem.Winds off the Pacific keep the vineyards cool thereby slowing ripening. The result is a Chardonnay of elegance. Barrel fermented for extra complexity, it is exceptionally pleasing.

Albarino Calazul 2022, Rias Baixas (Spain) £35.00

Albarino is the indigenous grape of Rias Baixas in Galicia, North-West Spain. Regarded as Spain’s alternative to Viognier in terms of its fresh peachy aromatics. Very popular in Madrid’s chic bars and restaurants.

Sauvignon Blanc 2022, Staete Landt, Marlborough (NZ) £35.00

Staete Landt is the name given to what is now New Zealand by Tasman, the Dutch explorer in honour of his country. Wonderfully fresh and powerful on the nose this is an intense wine with bags of zesty gooseberry passion fruit and citrus fruit and great concentration of flavour.

Gavi DOCG 2022, Folli & Benato (Piedmont) £38.50

Beautifully clean and fresh, with hints of citrus and white flower blossom aromas, it’s easy to see why this wine is so popular. Perfect wine for lighter style dishes and seafood.

Chablis 2022, Domaine Collet, Burgundy £52.50

This is a superb, traditional style Chablis with the typical flinty, mineral characteristics. Quite light in style, this does not pretend to be a big, buttery Côte d’Or wine. The company is a firm believer in not using oak in order to give full purity of fruit and expression of terroir.

Sancerre 2022, Domaine Dezat, Loire Valley £52.50

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Fresh cut grass and elderflower on the nose with an exquisitely rich palate of gooseberries and citrus, combined with minerally flintiness. A classic which lives up to its’ reputation as the great fish dish match.
