Poppies Pinot Gris 2022
' Poppy and Shayne Hammond, with a selected group of like-minded people, set out to forge their own direction in making wines with tradition flowing through the glass. Fashions and fads come and go, however, they believe traditional wines have the essence and romance of longevity. It is the intention of Poppies Martinborough to make beautifully hand-crafted wines that simply show the character and evoke the varietal flavours and purity of expression from the land and the hands of the makers. Staying true to outcome is vital and when you drink their wines from any different season you will always see the family resemblance¦ thus a true Poppies Martinborough wine is made how they love to drink. The Hammonds strongly believe that they are simply caretakers of the land. From this they farm their vineyards with a minimalist approach, respecting the power Mother Nature possesses, never interfering, more allowing her strength to direct. A biological and organic approach to farming is the preference, although not certified, within a commercial footprint - they are cautious and respectful utilising science, technology and understanding the past. They live through their land for their wines. '
Saint-Véran, Château-Fuissé 2023
This 2023 Saint-Véran is fresh, bright and beautifully balanced, with citrus, pear and subtle almond notes leading into a clean, mineral finish. It’s classic southern Burgundy—silky, relaxed and refined without being heavy. It's brilliant with grilled prawns, lemon-roast chicken, creamy mushroom pasta or a simple goat cheese salad. Its freshness and minerality that make the 2023 vintage so appealing also make it great with oysters or sushi. Château-Fuissé is one of the benchmark estates of the Mâconnais, crafting wines since the 1600s, and this bottling shows exactly why they’re so highly regarded.
