It ain't just a cheese! Pecorino is a grape variety grown in Abruzzo making delicious vino.

Description

We can’t all afford Emdio Pepe’s Pecorino at around $200 a bottle. Now that Contessa is in Aus we don’t have to! The depth of flavour and yumminess is impressive, combined with some beautiful mineral acid and an intoxicating perfume, it’s the perfect change of pace if you love Chardonnay but feel like mixing it up!

Max Ferdinand Richter Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett 2017

Riesling | Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

Seriously! How often to Graacher and Wehlener just come up with the goods. This is a superb Kabinett.  It has that slide flinty, reductive edge, less so than Prüm's Graacher. Huge energy here with a sense of translucence somehow coming through over the divine fruits. Reminds me of Clemens Busch. It has incredible length, with a pinch of salt to finish. Refreshing, mouthwatering, succulent juice, just as a good Kabinett should be! From 70- to 80-year-old vines, the 2017 Graacher Himmelreich

Chardonnay | Victoria, Australia

More of Everything! Depth + Length + Texture = More in Your Glass! There are 8 objective criteria I use to assess wine. This wine gets a big tick for all of them! Then there is a 9th objective criteria, Style or Overall Beauty. Think you'd be hard pressed to find a wine lover that could hold their hand on their heart and say this wasn't a beautiful wine.

Sublime
I love the fact that Trimbach hold back there wines for so long. The freshness, combined with the development of this wine brings a lovely harmony and balance. 8 years on the acid of this bone-dry wine has resolved and the richness of the fruit has powered through. Yet it remains elegant and fine. Complexity around a core of lime, layers of flowers, minerals, salt, hints of spice, just a lick of patisserie cream and so much more are occasionally popping their heads up. Also available in
