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!

Chenin Blanc from Anjou, D'Anjou-Saumur
Made from a small parcel in the village of Saint-Lambert, the 2022 Anjou Blanc à Francois(e) is a mouth-filling style without any heaviness. The generosity of the 2022 season has been curbed, and there's a nervousness and slightly reductive nature that keeps it tight. Expect an attractive sourness from the acidity and salinity. The finish has a nice twist of savory character with 20% new oak (500-liter and cigar format). Time is needed here to ameliorate.Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous 93 Points
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
The Riesling 2023 Marienburg Auslese, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, is a fully sweet wine with a gorgeously aromatic and complex nose of honeyed yellow peach, pineapple, licorice, spices, candied grapefruit, mango, acacia, lavender, and yellow plum. The wine develops a superbly creamy, rich, mouth-coating side on the palate, with an almost viscous and unctuous side and plenty of honeyed and yellow fruits, as well as some exotic presence (mainly mango and guava). Yet t
Chardonnay from Etna, Sicily
Nice little bit of funk and complexity with citrus oils lifting from the glass. The step up in quality of fruit from the Passobianco is significant and justifies the step up in price. Focused and vertical with excellent mid-palate weight. Those citrus oils translate from nose to palate. The élévage here is very good with a harmony from the careful exposure to oxygen during maturation.From just a few terrraces with very deep soil. The yields here are lowered to ⅓ of capable at 5 bunc
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
Excellent drinking. Drink this while you wait for the Grenouille to build. Line, length, texture, with a sufficient generosity giving it approachability in youth without adding any of the clumsy bits. Classic, delicious, delicate. Wonderful élévage making for a complete wine.0.20 ha of 80 year-old vines, the same age as Beugnons. Only replaced with massale selections.A pure and elegant nose features notes of citrus zest, mineral reduction, iodine and hints of algae. There is again
Chenin Blanc from Saumur, D'Anjou-Saumur
Stunning Chenin Blanc to Rival the Drinking Pleasure of 1er Cru White Burg & the Worlds Best Dry Rizza!So fine. Superbly textured. Stunning acid of epic length, piercing long and lovely. Fruit length and depth continue to build epically long after swallowing. Incredibly complex & layered. Such depth. Citrus, lemon, a little white grapefruit, pear & quince, garrigue woody herb. When the acid settles and generosity builds with time in bottle this will be an absolute ripper. Wait 3-5 years.
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
"Dry Wine of the Vintage!" Jean Fisch & David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines AP: 17 21. The 2020er Marienburg Fahrlay GG, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, was fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from fruit harvested in a blue slate part of the Marienburg vineyard. It offers a superb nose made of lemon zest, white flowers, raspberry, fine spices, and herbs. The wine is beautifully precise and playful on the nicely dry palate and leaves a superb feel of fresh fruits and su
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
A slightly cooler if still ripe nose reflects notes of white pepper, plenty of citrus influence and discreet shellfish nuances. Here too the palate impression of the middleweight flavors is one of richness and generosity yet the supporting acidity is both a little firmer and a bit brighter as well. This delicious effort could use better depth but more should reasonably develop with a few years of aging. Allen Meadows, Burghound 90-92 Points
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
A slightly riper if still agreeably fresh nose freely offer up its array of white and yellow orchard fruit, citrus rind, apple and tidal pool hints. The palate impression of the medium weight flavors possesses more volume still with a lovely sense of richness and minerality that adds a sense of lift to the very dry but not really austere finale. A few years of cellaring should see this drinking well. Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 Points
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons bursts with aromas of white flowers and peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave palate that's pure, seamless and charming.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 91 PointsA discreet application of wood sets off notes of white pepper, acacia blossom, spice and just enough Chablis typicity to be interesting. On the palate there is again both good volume and refinement to the generously proportioned middle weight flavors that possess a sa
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
A more elegant and slightly cooler nose freely reveals its aromas of shellfish, white flower and mineral reduction. The sleeker and more intense medium-bodied flavors flash evident minerality on the nicely punchy finish where a touch of lemon zest-tinged acidity helps keep the proper balance. This does though need better depth so a few years of keeping are recommended. Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-91 Points
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
The Marienburg GG Fahrlay 2023, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, was fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from fruit harvested in a blue slate part of the Marienburg vineyard. Still slightly reductive at first, it quickly shows a refreshing and pure nose of citrusy fruits, minty herbs, aniseed, almond, vineyard peach, and jasmine. The wine is pure and vibrating, as energetic and taut notes of citrusy fruits run through the palate. The finish is beautifully fr
Riesling from Kremstal, Niederösterreich
"The 2019 Riesling vom Stein Smaragd smells of fresh Mirabelle, ripe Amalfi lemon and a touch of chervil on a yeasty, smooth nose. The palate presents all this in one smooth, cooling flow, with notions of lemon becoming ever more prominent and apricot making a charming, perfumed appearance. Riesling's exuberance has been tamed into soothing mildness here. Full marks for charm and exquisite purity of fruit. Bone dry." Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous 94 PointsNikolaihof’s Smaragd level th
