1 x McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2019 ~ Margaret River, Western Australia
94/100 Nick Butler, The Real Review 5 Star Winery - James Halliday
Nick Butler, The Real Review "Serious value here. It's grass and cured lemons, lemon curd and dried green herbs, an arm-wrestle of a wine. Ripe and open when sipped, grippy and challenging with time to reflect."
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 focus on crafting site expressive wines and are known for producing some of the region's best wines.
1 x Georges Duboeuf Chardonnay Pays D'OC Blanc IGP 2020 - Burgundy, France
Winemaker Notes: "A pale, golden straw colour. The nose is powerful and delicate, with intense pear, fig, pineapple and roasted hazelnut aromas and discreet hints of honey. Unctuous and lively on the palate, with hints of fig and vanilla. We recommend to taste this wine at 9-10 °C."
Les Vins Georges Duboeuf is one of the largest wine producers in France founded by the late Georges Duboeuf who was affectionately known as 'le roi du Beaujolais' (the king of Beaujolais) or sometimes pape du Beaujolais (Pope of Beaujolais). Les Vins Georges Duboeuf produces a staggering 3 million cases of wine annually. The company is most well-known for its popularization and production of Beaujolais wines. In 2018 Georges’ passed control of his company to his son Franck Duboeuf, who is considered to be one of the key specialists in Beaujolais, its terroir and its wine, and has shifted production to focus more on Beaujolais Nouveau.
Pays d'Oc is the IGP for red, white and rosé wines that are made in a large area on the southern coast of France. The catchment area for the IGP corresponds roughly to the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region – one of the largest winegrowing areas in France. The region covers all the wines that are not made under the strict laws that govern the AOC-level appellations in the regions: among them Corbières, Minervois and the Languedoc appellation itself.
1 x Lavau Cotes du Rhone Rose 2020 - Rhone, France
The Winemaker "Beautiful, delicate colour and clarity, deliciously fruity bouquet full of red berries and memories of summer."
Grenache noir (60%) Cinsault (40%)
Made by award-winning producer, Lavau, this wine comes from a selection of vineyards from across the southern Rhône Valley, running from Montélimar to Nîmes.
The Grenache and Cinsault vines are planted on dry, generally stony, terrain and produce a yield of 46 hl/ha. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival in the winery, and a lightly tinted juice is then vinified like white wine, at the same temperature (16-18°C). Malolactic fermentation is prevented in order to preserve the fresh, crisp character of this rosé. Ageing takes place in vat and the wine is bottled before spring.
Originally from Bordeaux, in France the Lavau family has been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.
The cellars of Lavau are managed by Benoit and Frederic Lavau, who work in partnership with 350 different grape growers. Benoit is a frequent visitor to Singapore and Pop Up Wine events.
1 x Bottega Millesimato Prosecco Brut 2021 ~ Veneto, Italy
The Winemaker"Colour and appearance: Straw yellow, brilliant, with a rich and persistent foam and a fine perlage. Bouquet: Fruity, flowery, with scents of Golden apple and exotic fruit. Dry, lightly alcoholic, fragrant, fresh, well balanced with intense scents of fruit"
John Szabo, Master Sommelier (MS) "Light intensity pear and citrus aromas. Essentially dry and crisp palate, with slightly bruised fruit flavours. Decent length"
Vines Magazine "Palate is fresh and lively with opulent floral notes and stone fruit, mouth-filling, medium length with bright lime acids on the finish."
A Prosecco from the multi-award-winning winery - Bottega - famous for its top-end Prosecco served in gold bottles.
This celebrated winery creates Prosecco in Venoto Italy using the classified Glera grape.
1 x Georges Duboeuf Ecusson Pinot Noir 2020 ~ Languedoc-Roussillon, France

1 x Glenlofty GO Shiraz 2017 ~ Pyrenees Victoria Australia
The Winemaker “Red and black fruits abound, supported by earthy and savoury characters as well as licorice and spice. Complex length of flavour.”
Winestate Magazine "Glenlofty’s vineyards have been carefully nurtured since 1995 in the cool-climate foothills of Victoria’s Pyrenees. Formerly blended into premium wines produced by Penfolds, Seppelts, Rosemount and Brown Bros, Glenlofty’s remarkable fruit has been bottled under its own Glenlofty Wines label only since 2013. Early industry applause has been rapid, as demonstrated by its awards."
The vineyards of Glenlofty lie at 340 metres above sea level in the heart of the Victorian Pyrenees and total 110 hectares. Glenlofty grow a diverse range of low yielding grapes, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo.
