Really super French country white. It tastes exactly (in fact better) than it should! Crisp with green apple and citrus fruit, refreshing and tasty both with and without food, it ticked both the very good and the ...

A zippy blend of Colombard and Chardonnay grown just off the Diamond coast in South Africa.  Fresh and fruity in the mouth with a tasty creamy texture and plenty of peach, apple and spicy flavours.  Extremely...

The clear winner of the 12 SA Chenins we tried.  Elegant, exotic, dry and terrifically tasty.  Great as a cold glass of Friday evening white or equally as delicious with some spicy fish. Vintage: 2011 Closure:...

A screamer of a Southern French Sauvignon from our good friend James Ryland. James has been crafting delicious wines around the world for the Lurton empire but recently went solo with this project L’Escargot. Sourced...

The most impressive of Julien's three wines! Every tasting we have put this in to people swear blind that they're drinking a Puligny or a Meursault. This is THE best St. Véran the Vintner team have ever tasted! ...

This stood out as really special in our tasting of 53 Italian dry whites in July. We love its fresh pear and peach aromas, its slightly resinous texture and its refreshing fruit on the palate. Made by La Cantina di Soave and...

There’s Muscadet and then there’s Muscadet, and there are few other places where it’s as important to get the vintage and the grower correct. Here it’s just right and this tiny Domaine in the...

We’re a bit biased as this is made by a great friend of ours, Gavin Quinney.  As his name suggests he’s ever so slightly English but he’s beating all of his French contenders at the delicious...

Continuing our trend of finding great wines from audaciously young producers, we returned from our recent White Burgundy hunting trip with... a Bourgogne Aligote. Hardly the most fashionable grape in the world, and one...

This is what southern French country red should taste like. Bags of black fruit flavour, a healthy dollop of peppery spice and soft, seductive tannins to boot. This is no frills, no fancies, jolly good red. Oh, and it's...

Another screamer from the Comte Jean Maréchal stable. Ultra expressive Pouilly Fumé with all the classic hallmarks of crisp gooseberry fruit combining with that smokey gunflinty quality. Vintage: 2008 ...

At long last we've found a Vouvray Sec that we're proud to be listing. This is exactly how dry Chenin Blanc from this region should taste. Racy, fruity, zesty and refreshing with crisp acidity, minerality and balance. An...

(Also available in half bottles). Morton has made huge leaps in the last few years to produce top flight Sauvignon, Pinot and Sparkling. This has beautiful balance, that hint of mango and passionfruit, tamed by a degree...

The classic blend of Semillon and Sauvignon that Margaret River is famed for.  Herbaceous on the nose; a hint of nettle and cut grass from the Sauvignon and a delicious smack of citrus fruit from the Semillon.  A...

We thought we had the best Chablis our money could have bought until we tasted these wines in January. Beautifully crafted Chablis with minerality, ripeness, well balanced acidity and perfectly pure fruit. This is...

A corking white burgundy for the money.  Fresh acidity combines with ripe, spicy fruit and a hint of vanillin from the brand new oak barrels.  Young still but delicious all the same and it’ll get better and...

Another screamer from the Comte Jean Maréchal stable. Ultra expressive Pouilly Fumé with all the classic hallmarks of crisp gooseberry fruit combining with that smokey gunflint you get from the best wines of...

The most impressive of Julien's three wines! Every tasting we have put this in to people swear blind that they're drinking a Puligny or a Meursault. This is THE best St. Véran the Vintner team have ever tasted! ...

From one of the best vineyards in the region, this is magnificent Premier Cru Chablis. It takes the already delicious flavours of the village Chablis '09 to a new level – greater minerality, more intense complexity...

Pure, elegant and fine Premier Cru Chablis from this small but meticulous Domaine in Fleys. Steely acidity combine with complex minerality, nervous acidity and lean, elegant fruit.  A superb wine with shellfish and...

Showstopping white Burgundy from this lesser-regarded appellation. We tasted 23 different Meursaults, Pulignys and Chassagnes and not one of them could touch this for deliciousness, not even the Premier Crus.Vintage:...

Wonderfully pure but complex Chablis harvested from old vines on some of the best vineyards in the region.  Crammed with minerality and crisp lime and apple fruit this is a SUPERB example of just how good Chablis could...
