Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine Thibault, André Dezat -- André Dezat -- France
Sauvignon Blanc, 12.5% alc.
A blend of fruit from their St Laurent d'Abbaye, Berthiers and St Andelain vineyards, the Dezat brothers Louis and Simon have delivered a textbook Pouilly-Fumé, rich with lime-flowers, lime-stone purity, couched in fleshy fruit, and sealed with typical elegance. Super with superior fish or cheese.

Ch. St Ferréol Viognier, Vin de Pays d'Oc -- Chateau Saint Ferreol -- France
Viognier, 13% alc.
A really exciting find; a Southern French Viognier that tastes just like a Condrieu, without, merci à Dieu, the Condrieu price tag. Made in the enclave of Nizas, close to Montpellier and fermented and matured in a significant majority of oak, this is a terrific wine. The Viognier roll-call of dried apricot, peach kernel and honeysuckle is present and correct. The texture is suitably rich and hedonistic, but there is an impressive mineral grip at the back which effortlessly propels the wine into the highest quality echelons.

Viña Real, Reserva C.V.N.E. -- C.V.N.E. -- Spain
Tempranillo/Tinto Fino, 13.5% alc.
Viña Real is usually seen as the Burgundy to Imperial’s Bordeaux, evidenced aesthetically by the shape of the bottle and, more profoundly, by gustatory differences relating to tannic structure and provenance of fruit. The majority of the fruit for Real comes from Rioja Alavesa, which, surely not a coincidence, is the only part of the Denominacion to have limestone in the soil. The blend here is 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha; the perfume is classic Viña real, with an ethereal elegance and robust spicy note’ the palate is all velvet and plush, this is a luxuriant Rioja from a top vintage, already drinking nicely.

Kumeu River Hunting Hill Vineyard Chardonnay, Auckland (Stelvin) -- Kumeu River -- New Zealand
Chardonnay, 14% alc.
The Brajkovich family continue to evolve their range of wines, introducing two single-vineyard Chardonnays. The Hunting Hill vineyard is set high up above Mates, on a cool breezy site giving a finely-tuned, restrained, Chablis-like style of wine that needs 2-3 yrs ageng before drinking and will continue to evolve over the next 5-8 yrs. As with their other wines, the fruit is hand-harvest, whole-bunch pressed, fermented using wild yeast (giving more minerality) and matured for 11 months in french barriques. Great with plaice.

Morgon, La Voûte St Vincent, Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes -- Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes -- France
Gamay, 13% alc.
Louis-Claude Desvignes is a 7th generation vigneron currently producing some of the finest Morgon in the appellation. His Voûte St Vincent cuvée comes from various plots located on slightly different soils throughout the village, being largely a mix of decomposed granite, schist and clay. Louis-Claude has handed over the day-to-day running of the property to his charming daughter Claude Emmanuelle, now assisted by her brother Louis-Benoît in the vines. They tend to harvest later than other vignerons in the appellation with the intention of obtaining fruit of optimal ripeness.

The wine is vinified by the traditional cru Beaujolais method with a grille to keep the cap submerged. Recently, the fermentation has been longer and more controlled than in the past, in order to extract the deep colour and depth of fruit that are the hallmarks of these wines.
