Varietal
Head to the Rhône Valley, where you’ll, Viognier, Roussane and Marsanne with their amazing textures and spice. Cross the border to Italy and it’s Arneis, Verdicchio, Greco, Carricante, and, Garganega offering up often flavours very different to those of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Revel in the diversity of white wine styles created, as winemakers seek to balance sugar, acid, alcohol, phenolics, the use of oak, lees, and, skin contact to create wines of harmony and personality.
Perhaps in Riesling more than any other white wine will you find nearly every style imaginable.
The wine world is producing better wines than ever before. In regions where laws permit broad experimentation with growing and making white wines is resulting in rapid evolution and refinement of styles.
Australia’s push to evolve Chardonnay is the perfect example!

Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
Poised, refined, rich with wonderful tension. The 2024 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett opens with subtle hints of creamy woodruff, candied angelica and wet slate. The palate is lightness itself, like a veil of scented fruit referencing green apple, supple, sweet but tart citrus, like juicy, pale pomelo, rounded out with a touch of white peach. It is wonderfully serene, cooling, elegant and precise. (Off-dry)Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous 94 Points
Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune
"A notably ripe yet still attractively fresh nose flashes a hint of exotic fruit character on the notes of white peach, poached pear and whiff of lychee. There is once again very good energy to the delicious, round and rich flavors that also deliver fine length on the clean and dry finish."Allen Meadows, Burghound
White Blend from Alsace, France
Premier Cru action from Deiss! A blend of 12 Alsatian Varieties! I haven't had the chance to try this yet. Given the rest of the 2015 a looking great this should be excellent too. D'Agata's note below if for the 2012.(a mixture of all the usual Alsace varieties, with a predominance of Gewürtzraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris): Bright golden straw-yellow. The opulent nose features marmalady botrytis, honeyed tropical fruit and and sweet spice aromas. Densely packed, intense and showy, with ri
Chardonnay from Pouilly-Fuisse, Mâcon
“Pretty aromas of peach, white flowers, green apple and lemon rind. There is excellent, indeed almost painful, intensity to the solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the bone dry and citrus-suffused finish. At least some patience advised. ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
Lovely wine, beautifully made harmonious, long fine layered, of great complexity, softer acid profile, yet plenty of acid, a textural feat! Excellent development.Citrus and pith, with a good phenolic textural play. Nicely balanced, on a lower perceived acid bent for the region. Chalky feel. Plenty of fun. Subtle leesy funk, with great clarity.Fauchaume has a number of Lieux Dits that you'll see on the label: Vaulorent, Fontenay, Vaupulan amongst them.
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
White Cap - Dry "The lime-green-golden 2019 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese ** (White Capsule) is deep, intense and concentrated yet elegant and still precise and flinty on the nose. The attack on the palate is stunningly young and vital before the elegant and crystalline wine reveals its complexity and inner power. This is a tightly structured, very digestible and still edgy Auslese that needs another 5-6 years or so to settle and shine. This 2019 is enormously salty on the finish and highly promising
Chenin Blanc from Brézé, Saumur
Serious Chenin here. A big jump from the Midi. Lambert appears to be working with a little more phenolic extract adding a playful grip and cleansing astringency. Very complete and flowing. David’s extra time in old oak and a 2nd winter in tank give it harmony and refinement, flowing with a real step up in sophistication.Super zippy, mineral acid with the core of fruit to support it. Building generosity and freshness in the glass on a fine crisp acidity. Heading more strongly down the quinc
Chardonnay from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits
Barthod’s Bourgogne Blanc, made from Chardonnay planted in the late 2010s. It was the estate’s first commercial white wine (they previously produced only tiny, family-use whites from old Pinot Beurot and Chardonnay vines). The Les Graviers vineyard, named for its stony soils and located near Les Bon Batons, on the edge of Chambolle, saw its first release from the 2020 vintage, with élevage set at 50% used 500-litre oak and 50% terracotta amphora. The 2023 is delicious: both fleshy and racy

Significant build in development and élévage over the classico. Looks to have spent time in a gentle oxidative state ie barrel. Flowing and long. A gentle and caressing feel. Fine. Balanced and more immediately comforting with lovely mid-palate weight. A creamy layer in the mid-palate suggests time on lees. Feels a little like a very good dry Vouvray Chenin. Pops of baking spice, ginger and poached pear mingle with gently ripe white stone fruit. An excellent Timorasso!Paul Kaan, Wine Decod
