Bourgogne Blanc, Domaine de Montille 2019
"Pears and white plum aromas, and a note of fennel tops. Juicy and gentle with nutmeg-dusted orchard fruits but lively enough and satisfyingly concentrated and long." Tom Harrow Cellar Master Brian Sieve was rightly pleased with the domaine’s wines again this year, commenting on a good balance of acidity and alcohol but adding a note of caution about climate change: 2019 was one of the driest vintages on record and he suggests Burgundy is in “ in a window right now. Pinot Noir is a delicate variety and we need more water and less sun ”. Overall he preferred slightly fewer whole bunches and less new oak than 2018. Étienne added that 2019 has a “ classic textural character ” and was “ a consensual vintage – everyone could make the style of wine they wanted, unlike the last three vintages, here there is something for everyone ”. The latter is certainly true here at de Montille with chiselled, polished reds and racy but juicy whites. Our visits to de Montille get (thankfully) longer each year as we continue to deepen our relationship with Étienne, Brian and the team. No other address in Burgundy has such strength in its domaine whites and Côte de Beaune reds (and the highly sought after Vosne-Romanée ‘Malconsorts’ cherry on top) so we are delighted to carry a good selection from across their portfolio.
Torbreck Vintners, The Steading Blanc 2021
Torbreck's 2021 Steading Blanc is a brilliant example of just how good white Rhône blends can be when grown in the Barossa valley. Made from Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier, it’s a beautifully textured, expressive wine that balances richness with real freshness. On the nose, you’ll find ripe stone fruits, citrus peel, white flowers, and a hint of spice. The palate follows through with generous flavour, creamy texture, and a clean, mineral-driven finish. It’s layered and food-friendly, but not heavy - think roast chicken, seafood in buttery sauces, or even mildly spiced dishes. The Steading is sourced entirely from the Estate's Descendant Vineyard on Roennfeldt Road. Torbreck is best known for their bold reds but this white is a bit of a standout: elegant, versatile, and quietly complex.
