Falstaff "Brilliant pale straw yellow with persistent mousse. Freshly cut pear, banana, white peach and floral on the nose. The palate is carried by a delicate texture, appealing acidity underpinned by fine bubbles, juicy finish."

Tom Cannavan "This blingy Prosecco comes in a metallic gold bottle, I have to say the wine inside is a very nice, dry expression of a vintage-dated Prosecco. Extremely pale in colour, the mousse is foamy and fresh and the aromas are very summery: crisp pears and apples. In the mouth it is light and refreshing, with very good, crisp lemony acidity and a decent length too

Winemaker "Soft, harmonious and elegant, with a slim body and with lively yet balanced acidity."

100% Glera
Alcohol: 11%

Bottega alcohol brand, is a Family Vintners & Master Distillers from Italy. Bottega brand is a result of the work of three generations involved in the world of wine and grappa. Domenico Bottega was a wine trader and passionate oenologist (an expert in the arts and techniques of wine). Domenico’s son, Aldo Bottega expanded his father’s passion to grappa and together with his wife Rosina, founded the Bottega Distillery in Pianzano di Godega. After the founder of Bottega Distillery died, his son Sandro became the company director and with the support of his sister Barbara and brother Stefano, they took over the company. In a few years, the Distillery started to gain recognition thanks to their innovative distillation system and to be able to reduce the alcohol content in grappa to make it softer and more delicate to the mouth.

The premises are located in a large, 19th Century farmstead, refurbished according to state-of-the art criteria of environmental friendliness, and surrounded by 10 hectares of vineyards. The whole ground, at the heart of an area with a high density of water veins, is rich in water all year around. The area, especially suited for growing vines, lies halfway between Venice, the capital of art and culture, and the Dolomites, wonderful mountains that can be clearly seen in sunny days. With the goal of producing and distributing the best Italian wine, grappa, spirits, and food all over the world.

Bottega Gold is a Prosecco DOC, obtained by the vinification of Glera Grapes. The cultivation area of Glera grapes is located in the hilly area of the province of Treviso up to the slopes of Valdobbiandene, which is close to the Venetian Prealps. The hilly terrain is subject to high temperature ranges between day and night. This variation in temperature enables the development of finer, more elegant and at the same time more intense aromas.

1 x Chateau Marjosse Pierre Lurton Bordeaux Blanc 2020 - Bordeaux, France

88-90/100 Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing
15.5/20 Vinum Wine Magazine
14.5/20 La Revue du Vin de France

Owned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.

James Suckling "Plenty of sliced-apple, peach and lemon character with a medium body, fresh acidity and a clean, vivid finish. Energetic and ready for the beach!"

Decanter "Well placed and perky fruits, not overly high in acidities but instead given focus by slate texture and a point of bitterness on the finish. Bright fruits keep things mouthwatering. 3% Muscadelle completes the plantings (I don't have the specific 2020 blend). This is an enjoyable Bordeaux Blanc with personality; a successful wine in the category."

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate "Comes skipping out of the glass with vibrant notes of lime leaves, grapefruit and crushed rocks, giving way to emerging notions of green apples, dill seed, and fresh hay. The medium-bodied palate delivers a great intensity of herbs-laced citrus flavors, supported by a racy backbone and finishing long and chalky."

Vinum Wine Magazine "Particularly refreshing and drinkable with its notes of acacia and mint, its slim but well-structured build, the noticeable minerality. Enjoy young..."

Château Marjosse is owned by French 'wine royalty', Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux’s best-known châteaux; the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned, Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem, Château Marjosse. Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.

The influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.

Club Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. "However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse."

The Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.

Decanter "Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition. Pierre's father, Dominique Lurton, also made over a further 30ha so that, under the Château Marjosse label, Lurton now exploits 42ha of vineyard, six hectares of white and 36ha of Bordeaux red – a total of 300,000 bottles a year. Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious. As the quality of the terroir with clay-limestone soil is similar to some of the better areas in Saint-Emilion, he hopes to prove that wines from this area can rival those from more prestigious regions."

Sommeliers International "At Château Marjosse the land possesses yet another specific feature, known locally as “la Boulbène”, a silty-clayey texture that has developed on ancient alluvions. The fertility of these soils no longer needs to be proved, because, by chance, they are also found in Saint-Emilion, a terroir that is extremely familiar to the man who manages “Cheval Blanc” …. Pierre Lurton. Assisted in this transformation by Consultant-Oenologist Pascal Poussevin, whose recommendations range from vine growing to wine-making, Pierre Lurton’s estate has now reached its cruising speed … Beyond the fabulous adventures he experiences in his role as manager of Châteaux d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, as well as estates in South Africa, Latin America and in Australia … it is undoubtedly with “the salt of this land here in the Entre-deux-Mers” that his years of quest for perfection will be revealed. It is clear that this region needs winegrowers of such calibre, those who possess a sixth sense and, using techniques that almost resemble intentional alchemy, transform the grapes they touch into wines that exude the unique character of a specific area."

45% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon-Blanc, 15% Sauvignon Gris, 5% Muscadelle

The Entre-deux-Mers region, nicknamed by wine experts as “Little Tuscany”, is unique and jealously protected by its inhabitants. "There are fifteen appellations that constitute the Entre-deux-Mers. The most well-known of them all, reputed for its dry, lively white wines, is certainly the one which bears the name of this region! The Entre-deux-Mers cultivates a certain speciality in producing white wines, due to its basic geological assets, possessing gravelly-limestone soils, upon which Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle and even Ugni Blanc grape varieties are planted. But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins." Sommeliers International.

Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.

The Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.

Huon Hooke, The Real Review "This wine is lively, tense and crisply acid on the palate.....Bright light-mid yellow colour with a similarly forward-developed bouquet, showing lime, quince-paste, apricot aromas and subtle hints of toast."

Robert Parker "This is routinely a smart wine—austere and lean on release but with brilliant poise and line. This cooler-vintage 2021 Angevin Riesling makes not exception to that rule, with notes of lemon oil, Granny Smith apples, brine and fleshy citrus. Very good indeed." (2021 vintage)

Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion "A lovely wine; chalky, mineral, saline...It's gratifying tasting wines that give you more as you pay more ... it's sort of how we hope it would be (and not the other way around!). This has all the line and austerity of the Three Lions Riesling, but with additional layers of plump fruit and cushioned phenolics. It remains true to it regional roots, taut and coiled, but it also begins to unfurl and open as it stays in the mouth." (2021 vintage)

Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review "..A delicious dry riesling that will age well....Honey and lime leaf aromas lead into a racy dry palate. There's lots of flesh on the bones providing great flavours and carry. This is alive and enticing on the palate, with rapier-like acidity and great intensity.(2021 vintage)

Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion "Quite an astoundingly beautiful and pure wine of poise, line and length." (2020 vintage)

Sam Kim "It's exquisitely styled, showing Granny Smith apple, lime cordial and white flesh nectarine notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that delivers outstanding fruit purity and poise. Refined and stylish with a graceful future ahead." (2020 vintage)

James Suckling "This has striking purity and such fresh citrus-fruit aromas, as well as some savory, mineral notes. The palate is sleekly driven by brisk acidity that carries fresh lime-juice flavor. Bang! Drink now." (2020 vintage)

James Halliday "From 40+yo vines, machine-harvested, fermented with cultured yeast." (2019 vintage)

Huon Hooke, The Real Review "An excellent wine....It's not too dry, but has a faint lick of sweetness at the core.Light, bright yellow colour, with a lifted mandarin, gardenia and honey fragrance, positively Germanic. A lovely array of fresh and dried flowers. The palate is delicate and intense at the same moment; refined in its texture and long, with crystalline purity and refreshing properties that linger. " (2019 vintage)

James Suckling "This is a very refined style that has expressively fresh, lime and wet-stone aromas. The palate delivers a concentrated core of fresh, lime and peach flavors. So polished and so beautifully honed at the finish." (2019 vintage)

Toni Paterson "A highly engaging aroma of spring blossoms and candied lemon peel. Lemon juice flavours on the palate with faint hints of cumquat. A tight, citrusy style.'

Winemaker "100% Riesling grapes from our Wyjup Vineyard. Ashen straw colour. The palate is piercingly focused, with an intense citrus-flavoured core filling the mid-palate and a beautifully structured, wet pebble minerality. The abundant natural acidity provides the backbone for elegant fruit flavours. A very long, clean finish. Cellaring potential of 10 - 14 years."

Western Australian winery, Plantagenent is acclaimed internationally for its consistently highly-awarded, quality wines produced from its five vineyards located in the cool climate region of the Great Southern. It is known for its highly aromatic riesling, tangy citrus-tinged chardonnay, exceptional Rhône-style shiraz and suberb cabernet sauvignon. The five estate vineyards are overseen by Chief Viticulturist Jordan Ellis whose philosophy is sustainability and remaining true to the terroir of the region.

The Real Review "Plantegent is a pioneer of the Great Southern region of Western Australia with vineyards first planted in 1986 and the first commercial winery established in the region. Celebrated for its rich heritage, the winery is owned the Lionel Samson family, the oldest family owned business in Western Australia established in Fremantle in 1829. Plantaganet has five vineyards in the Mount Barker sub region each with the unique characteristics, ancient soils and a cool maritime climate cretaing expressive wines of provenance, quality & prestige. "

James Halliday, Halliday Australian Wine Companion "Plantagenet has honed its flagship varieties into a distinct Great Southern wine style; a depth of lively flavour, seamless elegance and natural purity"

The Great Southern is emerging as a wine region of international significance and reputation. It is the largest wine growing region in Australia and is the second largest producer of grapes in Western Australia. It is a landscape of forested cliffs and resplendent mountain ranges, grazing pastures and towns steeped in history. The regional climate ranges from the coastal, maritime subregions of Albany and Denmark to the inland, continental subregions of Mount Barker, Porongurup and Frankland River. The predominant soils are similar to those of the Margaret River region - either lateritic gravelly sandy loams (marri country) or sandy loams deriving directly from granite and gneissic bedrocks. Near perfect conditions for grape growing has lured some of the most creative and talented winemakers to call this land their home and become part of its ancient story.

The region is known for commitment to be sustainable, and organic, and is attracting some of Australia’s best winemakers. In 2023 the region dominated the Halliday Wine Companion Awards with its Top Rated 2023 Rieslings winning 10 of the top 40 awards. Other varietals from the region also received exceptional ratings of 97, 96 & 95 points.

Riesling is considered one of the world's greatest white wine varieties. Aromatic and fresh Riesling is often caught between the purity of its German iterations to the complexity of its Alsatian counterparts. But, existing worldwide in range of styles from dry to sweet, it frequently surpasses glib pronouncements at all levels.
