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!

Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
A ripe ever-so-vaguely exotic nose is comprised by notes of cool green apple, oyster shell and lemon rind. There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the intense and solidly powerful larger-bodied flavors that possess impeccable balance and fine depth on the harmonious, long and more complex finale. This is excellent and should age accordingly. Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 Points
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
A plenitude of citrus influences are present on the more obviously Chablis-like nose of algae, tidal pool and wet stone scents. There is a bit more volume and richness to the bigger-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the slightly warm finish that is supported by bitter lemon-tinged acidity. This isn't as refined as the Vaucoupin but offers slightly better depth. Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 Points
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
Offering up aromas of apple, citrus oil and white flowers, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a long, saline finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 91 PointsHere too there is a discreet application of wood in evidence on the fresh, bright and decidedly floral-suffused nose of citrus and sea breeze. The delicious and relatively refined medium weight flavors possess slightly better energy and particularly so on the stony, refreshing an
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
The Laffay’s own 26 ares in the Grand Cru Vaudésir. We were offered a tiny allocation of this; none of their Bourgros as they could not make any in 2019. Vaudésir is one of the seven Chablis Grand Cru appellations. Nestled in a natural amphitheater, it covers 15.4 hectares. It benefits from a double exposure similar to that of Valmur. The south-facing slope, which lies in a small sheltered valley, provides optimal ripening conditions. The north-facing slope, however, is cooler and the grapes
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
The 2022er Marienburg GG Falkenlay, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, was fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from fruit harvested in a grey-slate infused part of the Marienburg vineyard. This white-hay-colored wine offers a superb even if still rather reduced nose made of pear, floral elements, a hint of herbs, and reductive scents of spices and wet stone. It proves beautifully focused and impeccably balanced on the palate and leaves a simply stunningly airy, inte
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
With a geological structure similar to the Grands Crus and excellent exposure, this terroir is considered one of the best Premiers Crus. The wine is both full and rich yet can also show its mineral and floral characteristics.The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a terrific success, unfurling in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, confit citrus and oatmeal. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and complete, it’s fleshy and seamless, with fine depth at the cor
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
Montée de Tonnerre has a sandy, rocky topsoil, rich in Kimmeridgian limestone. The one-hectare parcel that gifts this wine is situated within the lieu-dit of Chapelot, which is separated from the Grand Cru Blanchot by a narrow ravine. The vines cover two continuous plots: one aged 50 years; and a second parcel recently replanted. This is regularly the most mineral, chalky, deep and powerful 1er Cru Chablis in the range. It is also one of the most limited.
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
The Marienburg GG Falkenlay 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 grey-slate infused part of the Marienburg vineyard. The splendid and appealing nose combines delicate notes almond cream and cinnamon with fresh scents of spearmint, wet slate, grapefruit zest, and jasmine. The wine also shows this double side on the palate, as ripe, creamy notes of yellow fruits and apricot interplay with spic
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
Initially reductive notes of smoke and aniseed herbs, then pear, honeyed yellow peach, spices, fresh herbs, violet and bergamot join the party. Develops gorgeous playful sweetness on the light-footed and delicately zesty palate, and leaves gorgeously direct flavours of fruit basket and candied grapefruit in the finish. This joyful and fruit-driven auslese will be irresistible at maturity. Mosel Fine Wines 95 Points
White Blend from Swartland, South Africa
The 2024 Skerpioen is the Chenin Blanc Palomino blend on limestone soils next to the coast, this year's fruit picked early. "The wine was much fuller than I thought and one of the best wines we have made from the site," according to Sadie. The Chenin part speaks louder than the Palomino at the moment, sea spray and shucked oyster shells unfolding on the nose. The palate is fresh and vibrant, very saline in style, certainly very marine influenced with Palomino finally finding its voice on the f
Chenin Blanc from Swartland, South Africa
The 2024 Rotsbank comes from Chenin planted at the back of the property, according to Sadie, the only one of 12 vineyards he works with that obtains a flintiness. This has fine lift on the nose with light petrolly, almost Riesling-like scents that evolve into more wet wool/lanolin scents with aeration. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity. Bright and sapid in the mouth, it gains weight and a little texture towards the extended finish. Excellent. Neal
Semillon Gris from Swartland, South Africa
The 2024 Kokerboom is a blend of Sémillon Blanc and Gris. Mellow on the nose, this is the most timid of Sadie's '24s at the moment, with very light wet wool and earthy aromas. The palate is very spicy on the entry, with a touch of ginger, linear and minimalist for Sémillon, with a bright, sapid, slightly fiery finish. Very fine.Neal Martin, Vinous 92 Points
