Henschke, Peggy's Hill Riesling 2022
Henschke crafts some of the New World's greatest wines, with a vitality, energy and vibrancy you rarely see in Barossa. Riesling has a lesser known history in this region, likely brought over by German settlers in the 1800s, and Henschke are well-known for working wonders with this grape variety. The vineyard itself is up in the hills and shaded by trees, protecting the fruit from the intensity of Barossa's climate, and the 2022 in particular shows impressive salinity, with notes of yuzu, citrus, white flowers, lime pith and a briny, sea-spray note. The Henschke wines are produced using biodynamic and organic methods, to preserve the quality of the vines and soil for the generations to come.
Sancerre Domaine Michel Girard et Fils 2025
Domaine Michel Girard et Fils Sancerre is a delicate, complex, and beautifully precise white from one of the Loire's most respected family domaines — a wine that showcases Sancerre at its most elegant and terroir-driven. Sourced from 30 parcels across 21 hectares of vines averaging 15 years old, fermented with indigenous yeasts at 18°C in stainless steel, and blended from three of Sancerre's key soil types, this is a Sancerre of real depth, minerality, and finesse. Why You'll Love It What sets this Sancerre apart is the skilful restraint of the winemaking — the boisterous green aromatics often found in Sauvignon Blanc have been carefully managed, allowing fruity layers of green apple and lemon to shine through alongside a taut, mineral backbone. The result is a wine of genuine complexity and elegance that rewards attention. If you love Sancerre, this is a benchmark expression. If you've never tried it, this is the perfect introduction. Vineyard & Production Grapes are sourced from Sancerre's three key soil types: Terres Blanches (limestone), Caillottes (chalky limestone), and Silex (flint) — each contributing a distinct dimension to the final blend. Hand-picked and gently pressed, fermentation occurs at 18°C with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats to preserve natural aromas, elegance, and complexity. The final wine is a blend of all three terroirs, reflecting the unique character of each. Tasting Notes Herbaceous and aromatic on the nose, with citrus blossom and a subtle flint-driven minerality. The palate is taut and precise — citrus, green herb, and green apple, underpinned by a lively, saline minerality and a long, clean finish. Perfect Pairings The classic match for a soft, tangy crottin de Chavignol goat's cheese. Also excellent with delicate flat fish in a caper sauce, grilled asparagus, oysters, and light seafood dishes. Grape Variety Sauvignon Blanc 100%
