This is an Organic Champagne from Trigny, France, known for its freshness, tension, and rich fruit/toasty notes (pear, peach, honey) from a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, featuring a very low sugar level (Extra Brut/Brut Nature, zero g/l dosage) for balance, offering vibrant character ideal for aperitifs or with seafood. 

Le Guide Hachette des Vin "The pinots (60% pinot noir, 20% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay) with the Pinot taking center stage in this cuvée with a golden color, buttery and fruity on the nose (ripe white fruits), honeyed on the palate, which shows a beautiful liveliness underlined by its low dosage."

Winemaker "It is the first fully organic cuvée of the estate, resulting from a partnership with a winemaker based in Trigny, who had initiated certification before Claire and Maxime. We were very curious. A conversion to organic farming obviously has an impact on the wines, as we all know. Generally, we are moving towards more tension and freshness. "

1 x Giant Steps Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay 2019 ~ Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia

95/100 The Wine Front
94/100 Wine Spectator
93/100 Nick's Wine Merchants

Mike Bennie (The Wine Front) "Huge mineral feel, indeed, you’d paste this into the section under ‘Wine; Minerality’ in an encyclopaedia. All pebbles and talc in perfume, sure, some citrus, citrus blossom, faint bread dough notes, but you’re drawn to the flint and element rocky notes primarily. The palate does the same, flint, wet slate, smooth pebbles rolled around the palate, olive brine, green apple juice and lime comes in too. Feels quite firm despite a sense of juiciness and being dart-shaped and long. Finishes with the faintest kiss of salted nuttiness. Just beautiful. Poised and fine."

The Wine Spectator "Stylish and memorable, with a touch of salted caramel adding a rich, savory edge, yet the core is pure and juicy, featuring lively Meyer lemon, Asian pear and lime sherbet flavors that show wonderful transparency and intensity, followed by candied ginger notes on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 530 cases made, 200 cases imported."

1 x Poderi Colla Barbaresco Tenuta Roncaglie (Organic) 2020 - Barbaresco, Italy

96/100 Stephen Blandford, The Real Review
94/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Winecritics

Stephen Blandford, The Real Review "..A lovely wine of poise and balance. Excellent. ...This wine is rounded and finely textural, sweet fruit flavours discreet and wrapped in threads of firm tannins, supple of body with an impressively lingering finish. Pale ruby tending to garnet. A heady bouquet redolent of rose petals, red cherry and sour plum (susine), cinnamon and warm earth, all underscored by toasty oak."

Raffaele Vecchione, Winecritics "Structured and decisive, it shows a good amount of new wood in the sensory profile that slightly dominates the delicate bouquet made up of red flowers, mandarin peel, chamomile, helichrysum, and iris. Full-bodied, perfectly extracted tannins, and a warm and solid finish that will need time to unwind."

Winemaker "Deep garnet red, complex and rich aromas of blackberries, spices, undergrowth, dog rose and violets. A 'classic' Barbaresco with the elegance of the Roncaglie cru: rich, enveloping and intense in the mouth. Personality and pleasantness with a very long finish of smooth tannins, and great ageing potential. It is a great wine for the whole meal, and it perfectly pairs with red meats and feathered game."

100% Nebbiolo

Antonio Galloni, Vinous Poderi "....Poderi Colla - it is hard to believe - remains one of the under the radar gems in Piedmont. Specifically, the Barbaresco (and Barolo, too) is consistently outstanding."

Poderi Colla is a highly regarded Italian, family owned winery with a rich history dating back to the 1700s. The winery is known for its dedication to crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Langhe region in Piedmont. The winery was founded by the Colla family, who have produced wine for more than five generations. Brothers Tino and Beppe Colla brought Poderi Colla to international fame.

Organic

Halliday Wine Companion Awards 2023, Erin Larkin "Fruit from the Calgardup Brook vineyard (planted 1997) on coastal limestone loam. All single-vineyard chardonnays are made in the same way here, highlighting the differences in terroir: Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, full solids, wild ferment in barrel (25% new) and 4 months' maturation, partial mlf, fortnightly bâtonnage. Where the Burnside is granitic, mineral and fine, this is pithy, saline and expansive, with layers of cheesecloth and lanolin amongst the ripe stone fruit. More volume and density of flavour than the Burnside (neither here nor there qualitatively, simply an observation), this is sensational. Utterly."

The Winemaker “The nose opens with notes of oyster shell, frangipani and sea spray with delicate nashi pear pulp and nectarine. Wild fermentation with full solids provides flinty complexity and extended time on lees adds intrigue and excellent length to the palate. A distinctive saline acidity and attractive chalk-like structure complement the mineral nature of this unique Southern Margaret River vineyard near the Indian Ocean.

Mike Bennie, The Wine Front " We’ve all known that McHenry Hohnen has been a bit of a secret weapon for terrific (chardonnay particularly) Margaret River wines, but with their shift to biodynamic farming and now a new winemaker in Julian Grounds, hold onto your hats. Grounds has done his time at Giant Steps with Steve Flamsteed, and has papal blessings from Flamsteed in this new role. Indeed, word on the street is, many, many people are thrilled for this move. A touch of high end Yarra hits Margs. Nice one. Grounds in his early days has already reached out to say gday, personally, unprompted it felt, which says something about determination and intent. Stay tuned.

McHenry Hohnen was founded by one of the pioneers of the Margaret River winemaking region, David Hohnen and his brother in law, Murray McHenry, an accomplished fine wine retailer. Both have been making wine in Margaret River since the early 1970’s. McHenry Hohnen vineyards are 100% biodynamic. Their three unique vineyards (Burnside, Calgardup and Hazel’s) produce wines that are a reflection of the land. McHenry Hohnen focuses on crafting site-expressive wines and are known for producing some of the region's best wines.

Located in the south-western corner of Western Australia, it is famous for having a more 'European' wine style than its counterparts across Australia, owing to the regions temperate, coastal location, which is very similar to that of Bordeaux.

1 x Nanny Goat Cross Breed (Organic) 2022 - Central Otago, New Zealand

91/100 Bob Campbell, The Real Review

Organic

Bob Campbell, The Real Review "A field blend of gewürztraminer, pinot gris and riesling co-fermented on the skins to produce a wine with a blush of colour. Gewürztraminer dominates, giving the wine a strong floral/lychee character together with other tree fruit flavours. Intriguing wine with an off-dry finish.

54% Gewürztraminer, 30% Pinot Gris,16% Muscat

1 x Esperienza Numero 8 Brunello di Montalcino 2018 - Tuscany, Italy

Winesearcher "This is more affordable than many Brunello di Montalcino wines. Not as widely known as other Brunello di Montalcino wines. This wine has been becoming increasingly popular over the past year."

Vivino, Yomme (Five Star Buyer rating) "Stupendous Sangiovese balanced and already with some complexity."

Winemaker "Intense ruby red, complex on the nose with aromas of plums, ripe black cherries and red berries, well balanced with notes of tobacco and liquorice, also beautiful harmony on the palate, elegant tannins and a long finish, can be stored very well"

Sangiovese 100%

Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.

Noted for having thicker-skinned berries, and because of this, Brunello produces wines with exceptionally bold fruit flavors, high tannin, and high acidity. The fruit is a contributes to the enduring popularity of Brunello di Montalcino.
