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!

With its decidedly green and spicy bouquet, the 2022 Pecorino is impossible to ignore. Lime zest and tropical melon give way to crushed Granny Smith apples and chamomile aromas. This is beautifully balanced, fruit-centric and intense. Silken waves of citrus-infused orchard fruits cascade beneath an air of sweet inner florals. The 2022 leaves the palate completely refreshed, tapering off long and youthfully tense, with a hint of salinity that adds lovely punctuation. Fantastic. Drink 2024-202
Riesling from Kremstal, Niederösterreich
The late-released 2005 Riesling Vom Stein in fact represents only half of what was produced under that name. The Saahs family would have preferred to have left the total volume in cask for future release, but that wasn’t practical in this instance, so they split it. Raspberry, brown spices, incense, and sweet floral notes result in an unusual and scintillating bouquet. On the palate, there is a dramatically dynamic exchange of berry, citrus, and floral flavors, but also an adamant underlying s
Grüner Vetliner from Wachau, Niederösterreich
This wine is from the ripest Smaragd classification.Thought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name “Im Weingebirge”, Wine Mountains, dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving it a creamy texture.Bottled at the end of April this year (2018), the 201
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
The domaine holds two priceless hectares in Valmur, which makes it (we’re guessing) one of the largest holders of this Grand Cru, which sits between Grenouilles and Les Clos. With the 1934 plantings in La Pièce au Comte now replanted, Valmur houses the domaine’s oldest vines, planted in 1947, along with some vines planted between 1962 and 1974 and another parcel between 1995 and 2000. Just as significant is the exposure: Bessin’s parcel lies on the southern side of the Grand Cru, in
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Village comes from three lieux-dits and was bottled in August. This has a bright citrus peel-, fresh pear- and sea spray-scented nose that leans a little toward Puligny in style. The palate is well balanced with a slightly creamy texture. It's a little spicier than other Chassagne Villages, with touches of quince and white pepper on the finish. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.” Neal Martin, Vinous 89 PointsA touch of matchstick charac
Chardonnay from Rully, Côte Chalonnaise
We really sense the aromatic freshness of the Chardonnay coming from its acidity and the minerality from its mainly mineral terroir. All nurtured by oak notes mainly from foudres in which this wine was vinified and matured. The Margoté plot is located to the South of the Rully appellation. This area is cold and windy. We can almost smell the wind while tasting this wine.The palate is powerful with a round and precise texture full of contained energy. The « mineral » finish is the terroir
Chardonnay from Rully, Côte Chalonnaise
Located to the north of the Premiers Crus de Rully hill, the vines here are cultivated on one of the warmest terroirs of Rully with a South, South-eastern exposure.This exposure translates itself with notes of white flowers, honey and fresh citrus fruits.On the palate, it is the energy coming from the alliance of the Chardonnay and the terroir of the Rabourcé which surprises, with an aromatic freshness enhanced on the finish by light bitter notes creating a beautiful expression of salin
Chardonnay from Rully, Côte Chalonnaise
The nose is refined, persistent and offering ethereal aromas of peach and mandarin, supported by an enjoyable oak presence.The palate is fresh and the definition of terroir becomes clearer as the tasting progresses. Rich flavours linked to aromas from Chardonnay, then you move to bitter skins associated with the bitterness from new barrels which render the wine very salivating. This length extends the quality of the fruit and the expression of terroir, together with almost marly notes, refre
Here we go! Complete, harmonious, fine, long & even with midpalate depth & layering. Funk in balance with excellent zippy acid. Excellent shape and flow, citrus, green white stone fruit. Funktified. Mineral acid feel. This is very, very good!From up to 44-year-old vines in the estate's 7.55-hectare monopole, the 2021 Gaisböhl G.C. opens with a pure, fresh, intense, slightly reductive, lemon-scented nose of ripe fruit aromas and flinty notes.

Clear, pure, aromatic and fresh on the nose, as if you were diving deep into the Atlantic, the 2022 Gaisböhl G.C. opens beautifully precise and iodine-infused on the nose that reveals intense but refined ripe peach and raspberry aromas. Very fresh and seriously structured, this is a pure and tensioned but also aromatic yet very precise and savory Riesling with playful acidity and stimulating, classic fruit. This is a gorgeous, persistently saline and tensioned Riesling in a classical style. Tas
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
AP: 20 20. The 2019er Hofberg Beerenauslese, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from early selections of fully botrytized grapes harvested at 140° Oechsle from the main hill of the vineyard, and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a quite smoky, yet ripe and aromatic nose of aniseed herbs, licorice, mango, melon, passion fruit, pear puree, dried apricot, and guava. The wine proves hugely sweet, honeyed, and almost syrupy, and leaves a delicate
Blend from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne
When I was making wine at Yarra Yering we used a Solera barrel of Chardonnay in the liqueur d'expedition for the fizz. The depth, length, and, complexity of this wine with those Oxy notes was a great foil to the richness in the base wines.Fascinating to see what happend to wines made of quality fruit when you age them for extended periods in wood.
