GLASS HIGHLIGHTS

Subject to availability*

NV Bellebonne Bis Blanc - Chardonnay

Incredible value non-vintage sparkling from the Queen of Australian Fizz Nat Fryar. Vivid and racy, showing the wonderful potential of this Pipers River project in just its second release.

2021 Chateau La Sable Petit M - Marsanne/Rolle/Viognier

Beautifully waxy and generous white hailing from a tiny corner of the Luberon national park 30km north of Aix-en-Provence. An exciting and interesting stand in for Southern Rhone whites and a staff favourite for spring drinking.

2024 A Los Vinateros Bravos Volcanico - Pais

From Leonardo Erazo whose work preserving old bush vines of Pais in Itata is one of the most exciting projects in the broader world of wine. 100+ year old dry-farmed bush vine Pais grown in volcanic soils, tense and stony with a certain wildness that makes for captivating and off the beaten path drinking.
