La Parva Chardonnay
Central Valley, Chile
Pale yellow straw colour. The wine has outstanding intense aromas of peach, honey and exotic fruits. Very well balanced: a perfect integration of the exotic fruits and acidity. Long, fine and with a superbly persistent aftertaste.
Nuviana Chardonnay (Unoaked)
Vino De La Tierra, Spain
Pale gold in colour with a hint of green. The nose is fresh and inviting as tropical fruits mix with limes and pineapple, with just a hint of vanilla. The palate is fruit driven and very appealing, but with the acidity being so well balanced the wine itself is not heavy at all, even with all the rich, tropical fruits coming to the fore. Good length and an excellent finish
Largesse Sauvignon Blanc
Vin du Pays D’Oc
Deliciously herbal and grassy on the nose, with distinctive Southern French flavours of asparagus with just a hint of gooseberry. The palate echoes these flavours and is beautifully balanced with crisp, fresh acidity and flavours of green apples. A superbly made Sauvignon and a real alternative to those tired of big, intense New World Sauvignon Blanc.
Los Espinos Sauvignon Blanc
Rapel Valley, Chile
A typically fresh and lively Sauvignon, with aromas of gooseberry and newly cut grass on the nose. The palate is full of fresh gooseberry along with flavours of passionfruit and a minerally quality on the finish that prevents the wine from becoming too intense. Mouth-watering, zingy acidity completes this very moorish wine.
McGregor Chenin Blanc
Robertson, South Africa
Light, fruity and floral on the nose and very appealing indeed. A deliciously crisp and lively example of Chenin Blanc with bags of crunchy apple fruit, slight grassiness and a good clean finish. Slightly off dry with fabulous all-round appeal.
Santa Rosa Chenin/Chardonnay
Argentina
On the nose this wine is clean, with an excellent presentation of primary fruit aromas consisting mostly of pineapple and citrus with hints of cut grass and minerals. The palate is light to medium bodied and dry, with good balancing acidity alongside its fresh fruit flavours and crisp finish. Easily approachable and thoroughly enjoyable.
Stella Bella Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc
Margaret River, Western Australia
A classic Margaret River blend of crisp, grassy Sauvignon and tangy, citrus Semillon, this blend echoes the new wave of Bordeaux wines. The Semillon is delightfully waxy on the palate, providing the rich, creamy texture with the Sauvignon lifting the wine with its fresh acidity and lighter body. A truly fabulous blend with amazing length and structure.
Macon Villages Chardonnay
Domaine Fichet, Burgundy
A generous nose of tropical fruits and hints of lemon, this wine is immediately appealing. The palate is beautifully rounded with pineapple and the rich, buttery Chardonnay flavours combining with the balanced acidity to make a truly superb expression of Burgundy. A slight rusticity at the finish prevents the wine from being too full-bodied.
Chablis Chardonnay
Domaine Jean Claude Martin
Clear, pale in colour with a wonderfully fresh yet complex nose of green fruits and a steely character. The palate is fresh and vibrant with good acidity and a flavour of crunchy green apples complementing the underlying mineral and yeast characteristics. Good length and a complex finish. Lovely.
