Château Saint-Roch, Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2022
Château de la Gardine is one of the Southern Rhône's most dependable addresses, and their Château Saint-Roch blanc is the kind of wine that makes you wonder why white Côtes du Rhône doesn't get more attention. A blend built around Grenache Blanc and Clairette, with Roussanne and Viognier adding weight and aromatic lift, it has the generous, sun-warmed character you'd expect from this part of France without ever feeling heavy or overblown. There's white peach, almond blossom, and a subtle waxy richness on the mid-palate that gives way to a clean, herb-edged finish.
Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc Nelson 2024
Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, textural expression of Nelson's unique coastal terroir. Bright and racy with saline freshness and layered fruit, it sets itself apart from New Zealand's other regional Sauvignons. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown in Tasman, Upper Moutere, and the Waimea Plains, this wine showcases the distinctive character of the Nelson Tasman region. Why You'll Love It This is Nelson Sauvignon Blanc from Heaphy Vineyard, a small winery in the north-west corner of New Zealand's South Island. The Nelson Tasman region, with its long sunshine hours, cool maritime breezes, and varied soils, creates ideal conditions for expressive, terroir-driven wines that are distinctly different from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are cold pressed to tank for fermentation, then settled, racked, and left to rest on fine lees for 8 months before gentle filtration and bottling. This extended lees contact creates a wine with rich mouthfeel, fine leesy texture, and remarkable complexity. This is New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with coastal character, textural depth, and saline freshness. Region & Winemaking Produced by Heaphy Vineyard in Nelson Tasman, South Island, New Zealand.
