Magpie Estate Rag & Bone Riesling 2024
Magpie Estate Rag and Bone Riesling is a vibrant and characterful white wine from a single vineyard high on the eastern side of Eden Valley in South Australia . Eden Valley is one of Australia's most celebrated regions for Riesling, prized for producing wines of exceptional vibrancy, purity and longevity, and Rag and Bone is a fine example of why. Why You'll Love It The story behind this wine is as characterful as the wine itself. When only half the fruit from this exceptional single vineyard was needed, the rest was nearly discarded. Magpie Estate stepped in, inspired by the idea that one man's trash is another man's treasure. The name came when a rag and bone van pulled up outside during a brainstorm. The result is a wine of real personality and precision, rescued from obscurity and all the better for it. Vineyard and Production Sourced from a single vineyard high up on the eastern side of Eden Valley, where warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to develop ripe, intense fruit flavours while retaining the zing and acidity that defines great Eden Valley Riesling. Grapes are harvested in the cool hours of the morning and delivered immediately to the winery, where they are processed gently through a tank press. The juice is cold settled for three days before being transferred into fermentation tanks, preserving the wine's natural freshness and aromatic purity. Tasting Notes A floral nose of jasmine, lime zest and waxed lemons over crushed marble. The palate is bright, taut and citrusy, with citrus oils adding to the palate weight. Crisp yet with plenty of body, finishing long and nervy with real persistence and drive. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for bold, aromatic dishes. Try it with chilli prawns, green Thai curry, fish or chicken laksa with chilli, coconut, ginger and lime. Also excellent alongside sushi, soft goat's cheese or a light seafood salad.

Sierra Cantabria, Rioja Blanco 2022
Full of zesty citrus fruits with luxurious nuances of honey and spring flowers, the Sierra Cantabria Rioja Blanco is a stunner. A blend of Viura, Malvasia and Sauvignon Blanc, it's extremely fresh, vibrant and fruity, making it the perfect wine for seafood and tapas. The Sauvignon Blanc was vinified in oak barrels for two months, adding richness to the palate, yet there's still loads of bright fresh citrus and white fruits, making it super gluggable and a must have for the spring and summer. Sierra Cantabria are undoubtedly one of Rioja's best kept secrets, head winemaker Marcos Eguren having been named Winemaker of the Year in Tim Atkin's Special Rioja Report 2023, yet their wines remain astonishingly good value and are a must have for any serious cellar.
