White Wine

From racy, crisp, Riesling, to rich full-bodied Chardonnay the white wine world has an incredible array of wine styles on offer.

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!

This single parcel, Inxertal, is inland and a site that recently had to be blended away as the 100 year old 0.15ha site yields only around 600kg of grapes. Thankfully this year they were able to bottle it again and we can see where the intensity of low yielding inland fruit meets that soulful expression from Alberto and Silvia. Rich yellow peach and flinty minerality on the nose, tightly wrapped by that 400L barrel. The particular site has a honeysuckle and floral aroma that is persistent year o

The 2022 & 2023 were MIND BOGGLING! Only 6 bottles up for grabs!NOTE ON THE 2023: The 2023 A Graña comes from a vineyard in the parish of Adina, and it has a different personality, not only because of its lower alcohol level (11.7%), contained ripeness and higher acidity but because it fermented and matured in a chestnut barrel (and 200 liters in stainless steel), kept with lees for nine months. The nose has a different profile, spicy and with notes of ... chestnut flowers?, with

Valentini Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2021

Trebbiano | Italy, Abruzzo

By all accounts the 2021 is once again a demonstration of why Ian d'Agata decrees the Valentini's Trebbiano hails from another planet. This is only the 10th release of Trebbiano in the 21st century, such is Valentini's dedication to quality!NOTE on the 2020: More savory than sweet, the 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo slowly opens with a rich blend of raw almonds and smoky crushed stone, giving way to dried nectarines and hints of sage. This seductress is ripe and succulent upon entry, yet with

Refreshing!

Vigneti Massa Timorasso ‘Picolo Derthona’ 2024

Timorasso | Piedmont, Colli Tortonesi

A ripping Picolo, semi-dried apricot, apricot kernel, baking spice with exceptional presence for a wine at this price point. Flowing and luscious with a sherberty refreshing acid, making for a thirst-quenching drink. A little creamy play adds richness and complexity. Textural with a faint silvery line of bitterness cleansing the finish.Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED

Timorasso | Italy, Colli Tortonesi

From near extinction the Massa family have saved Timorasso, for that I am truly thankful! Massa’s Derthona is the perfect introduction to the serious end of the spectrum of Timorasso.Excellent build in depth and length with excellent oxidative line that sits perfectly with fine acid and insane lemon oil.Closed and a little subdued on the nose on opening.

Note: from a .67 ha parcel of Chardonnay. A moderately phenolic nose (olive oil nuances) is comprised by notes of citrus confit and whiffs of the exotic in the form of white peach, lychee and passion fruit. There is outstanding volume and richness to the succulent but decidedly powerful larger-bodied flavors that brim with minerality on the lemon-tinged finale that is firm and very dry but not especially austere.Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-93 PointsThe 2023 Musigny Blanc Grand Cru ex

Domaine Antoine Jobard Meursault 2023

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Here too there is a whiff of the exotic lurking in the background of the aromas of jasmine tea, white flower and passion fruit. The very generously proportioned flavors are rich to the point of opulence with a highly seductive mouthfeel before tightening up on the impressively long, balanced and complex finale. This is an excellent Meursault villages that is warmly recommended plus it should age gracefully. ♥ Outstanding Top valueAllen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 PointsNM 90-92Not

This is a quality Bourgogne. ♥ Outstanding Top valueAllen Meadows, Burghound 87 PointsNote: from Sous la Velle, En l'Ormeau and La Monatine

Brooding and showing depth and length, just needing a year to settle. Savoury element. Opening up to show lovely depth florals, chalky, acid fine and long. A delicious Albariño with a lick of funk. Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED Sept 2025I tasted a super bottle of the 2023 Alberto Nanclares, which this year is quite gentle, with lower alcohol, 12.2%, and lower acidity but a slightly higher pH to achieve the balance, which to me is more fragile and ethereal.

Beautiful to see how a couple of years relaxes the wine and helps it build generosity and resolve some fine acid. Funk a play with a creamy patisserie character. Sold drinking. Lanolin wet dog. Plush and caressing. Drinking beautifully now. Shape and flow.

A unique Soave, this wine along with Il Corincino's Verdicchio 'Gaiospino' was one of the first two wines that sparked my interest in Italian wine. It's a rich, textural interpretation of Soave, with great harmony, hints of spice, lovely phenolics (giving texture) and length. The age of the vineyards is reflected in the depth of fruit. FYI - Vecchie Vigne means 'Old Vines' and these are pre-phylloxera from a sandy sub-plot of the La Foscà vineyard."The 2016 Soave Classico Contrada Salv

A unique Soave, this wine along with Il Corincino's Verdicchio 'Gaiospino' was one of the first two wines that sparked my interest in Italian wine. Looking very good. Energetic yet beautifully developed. Layered complex, lovely textural, bit of barrel & lees time. Full luscious. Baking spice. Brooding at the moment.

Domaine Thibert Mâcon-Prissé ‘en Chailloux’ 2020

Chardonnay | Pouilly-Fuisse, Burgundy

“The slightly denser aromas transmit a vague hint of the exotic in the form of melon and pineapple hints on the mostly white fleshed fruit aromas. There is excellent intensity and precision to the solidly concentrated middle weight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the equally dry and sneaky long and overtly bitter lemon-inflected finish. This too offers very good quality for its level.”Allen Meadows, Burghound 88 Points“The 2020 Mâcon-Prissé En Chailloux unfurls i

Producer and site … that is all!When your Bourgogne is made from vineyards in Meursault and Puligny it really does make a difference. Ballot-Millot has given us a beautifully balanced wine, with a wonderful texture. An excellent Bourgogne with great fresh flavours & a little funk.

Showing exactly how important vine age is! A step up, an extra zip of salty acid and that mid palate weight with excellent length. Florals, white stone fruit a little citrus pith and plenty of fun. That slight primary edge that disappeared as it opened revealing excellent depth and length with restraint. A little more complexity. Mid palate texture is excellent. Hazelnuts and an extra layer of pleasure here. Excellent.

"“Harvested at about the same time as the Grosses Gewächs (GG) and thus about four weeks after the Kabinett Rieslings, the 2020 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese opens with a pure, fresh and remarkably delicate slate bouquet that is already singing. On the palate, the wine is lush yet filigreed and finessed and provided with delicate, lingering salinity and finely concentrated, perfectly ripe fruit.
