From Ravera in Monforte. As the vines age they will make Barolo! From Ravera in Monforte, this is made from the youngest vines (that will eventually be made as Barolo) and is made the same way as her three Barolos and then aged in barriques for twelve months. As a baby Barolo, this has some serious pedigree with rich, plush fruit of red berries with crushed flowers. Hard to beat for the money and an ‘affordable’ cellaring option.**Due Sept 2025**

Vajra Barolo 'Albe' 2021
🇮🇹A Vajra Classic 🍷

Vajra Barolo ‘Albe’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo (sub-region)

Excellent, Perfume, energy, lovely core of fruit, long & fine, dark & savoury with red fruit too. Layered with an excellent tannin profile, flow and shape. Delicious. Will undoubtedly build with age. Acid tannin complex is very good. Length of tannins is excellent. Firm in a good way and of quality, a little nutty. Exceptional value to be had here!Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedDo you have a favourite pair of jeans or a favourite dress that you keep in your closet for all occasions?

At a splash over $100 this is one of the best value Barolo on the market. Delicious, expressive Barolo with fine acid and gentle yet present tannins. Plush, rewarding. Umami with a long, mouthfilling core of red fruit. Savoury and nicely developed with excellent élévage, just a little lift that sits well against the generous fruit. An excellent introduction to the Barale Barolos. Hoovered a bottle with a roast chook and went to a very happy place.The fruit for this wine comes from Castelle

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc Grey Label 2021

Chenin Blanc | Loire Valley, Anjou

The Anjou Blanc was previously produced from bought-in fruit, but the 2021 vintage was made up of 50% of the estate's fruit. Tasted after being opened for three days, it has taken on an added richness and roundness that wasn't previously there. There's a mere soupçon of flinty character. Intense and precise, with laser-like acidity flying through the mouth like an arrow. The finish is nutty, pastry and lightly salty, lingering with the merest tonic-like bitterness.Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous 91

Huet Vouvray Sec 'Clos du Bourg' 2021
Dry 3g/L

Huet Vouvray Sec ‘Clos du Bourg’ 2021

Chenin Blanc | Vouvray, D'Anjou-Saumur

“The 2021 Clos du Bourg Sec is an ample, full bodied wine with a stream of acidity. Pure, floral and fragrant with aromas of pineapple, violets and fresh grapes. While rich, it is light in sensation, like a cloud of Chenin filling the mouth, and finishes with a fine, almost powdery and chalky texture.”Rebecca Gibb, Vinous 95 Points

Superb harmony and clarity, a charming transparency, graceful, pure and flowing, perfectly weighted with long even length and depth.White flowers, earthy, savoury, lanolin & shroom funk, a little spice spice. Fine luscious mouthfeel with incredible restraint, sophisticated yet powerful. Underlying ripe, fresh citrus of energy. Such grace with a sensual texture. Beautifully developed yet full of energy.

A wee hit of sulphur blows off quickly in the glass. Holds this in good stead for a long life. Crystal clear. A layer of lanolin funk and spice floats above vibrant fruits that build on the palate fanning out offering great persistence.A little cleansing phenolics and fine acid balance a creamy mouthfeel. The fruit is nicely developed making for delicious drinking now with more to come.Spicy and full of tension, the 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Montalto bursts from the glass wit

Cappellano Barbera 2021

Barbera | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

The 2021 Barbera d'Alba is a new wine from Cappellano. Sourced from a close friends vineyard in the Roero it has a very different flavour and tannin profile to the Barbera Gabutti which needed replanting after years of decline.Like all good Barbera and Cappellano wines, the 2021 Barbera shows excellent development and refinement. Given this is the first release it'll be fascinating to see how Augusto evolves this wine in future vintages. I suspect the soils here will be sandier as is more ty

2022 NOTE: A faint lick of larger format oak adds complexity without being intrusive and resolves quickly as the wine opens.Delicious! The perceived acidity is certainly higher than that of Montalto, sophisticated and delicate.Super-fine and flowing, a myriad of fresher flavours, I like Eric’s calls on candied lime, green apples and chamomile. Fabulous drinking fine and long with plenty more to come.The 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Santo Spirito lifts from the glass with a
