Château Latour-Martillac Blanc 2020
Thanks to the long involvement of generations of the Kressmann family, and the recognition shown in 1953 by the classification of Graves, the wines of Château Latour-Martillac feature among the best of Pessac-Léognan. The 2020 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc has a bright, pale yellow colour with a slight greenish hue. The nose is expressive, with fresh aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, alongside white peach, green apple, and floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. Subtle hints of minerality and toast contribute to its aromatic complexity, a result of partial barrel fermentation and aging. It's fresh and lively, with a creamy texture balanced by crisp acidity. Flavours of lemon zest, lime, and pear are prominent, interwoven with notes of stone fruits and a touch of salinity. The Sémillon adds roundness and depth, while the Sauvignon Blanc contributes brightness and lift. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, showcasing both the finesse and intensity typical of Pessac-Léognan whites. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, and creamy cheeses.
Yarra Yering, Chardonnay, - Half 2021
Est. delivery in August, 2026 Yarra Yering is one of those names that demands a moment of respect. Founded by the late Dr Bailey Carrodus in 1969, it was among the first wineries to re-establish viticulture in the Yarra Valley, and it has never stopped making wines that feel genuinely sui generis. This Chardonnay is a half bottle, which means it will evolve a touch faster than its full-sized sibling — all the more reason to open it with purpose over a proper dinner rather than squirrel it away indefinitely. The 2021 vintage in the Yarra was cool and precise, which shows here in spades: white peach and grapefruit with struck flint and a savoury, toasted-nut character from well-integrated oak. The palate is taut and focused, with real drive from the acidity and a mineral persistence that lingers long after the glass is empty.
