Domaine de la Grande Courtade Chardonnay Organic 2022
La Grande Courtade Chardonnay is an organically produced Chardonnay with a fresh, pure, and charming expression, showing generosity from oak ageing balanced by lively acidity. Meet the Producer The Fabre Family have been making wine for over 400 years, with their estate rooted in the Languedoc. Their historic cellar, built in the 18th century, still houses the original vats used by their ancestors. The vineyards for this wine come from the family’s La Grande Courtade holdings, carefully managed to produce ripe, high-quality Chardonnay grapes. Production Grapes are harvested at night and pressed immediately. 20% of the juice is fermented in oak barrels and aged 6 months on its lees with batonnage, while the remainder is vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness. The wine is made from a blend of well-ripened and earlier-picked grapes, balancing richness with crisp acidity. Tasting Notes A generous yet fresh Chardonnay, displaying pure fruit and subtle oak nuances, with a clean, vibrant finish that highlights the grape’s natural freshness despite the warm southern climate. Food Match Delicious with simply grilled fish, pan-roasted in butter, or roasted vegetables. Grape Varieties Chardonnay 100%
Tinpot Hut Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Tinpot Hut Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a bright, aromatic white from one of New Zealand's most celebrated wine regions. Drawing on fruit from two of Marlborough's finest sub-zones — the Wairau Valley and the Blind River — this is a wine that balances classic varietal expression with genuine complexity and finesse. Why You'll Love It This is Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at its most characterful — vivid, precise, and full of personality. By blending fruit from the tropical-leaning Wairau Valley with the mineral-driven Blind River sub-region, Tinpot Hut achieves a depth that sets it apart from the crowd. It punches well above its price point and drinks beautifully from the moment you open it. Vineyard & Production Fruit was machine harvested in the cool of the night to preserve freshness, then transported swiftly to the winery for gentle pressing with minimal skin contact. The must was chilled for 48 hours before being racked to 100% stainless steel tanks, where fermentation took place at cool temperatures to lock in the wine's vibrant aromatics and varietal character. Tasting Notes The nose opens with classic blackcurrant bud and freshly cut thyme, with tropical notes of passion fruit and melon from the Wairau Valley fruit. Mineral and saline nuances from the Blind River sub-region add an elegant layer of complexity, while a fine, precise line of acidity carries the palate to a clean, refreshing finish. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile food wine. Serve with goat's cheese, grilled sea bass, smoked salmon, Thai green curry, summer salads, or a simple plate of oysters. Also excellent as an aperitif on a warm evening. The Grape 100% Sauvignon Blanc
