Saint-Romain, Le Village Blanc, Edouard Delaunay 2020
Laurent set about to catapult these wines into the stratosphere and after sweeping up at the IWC 2020 awards for their incredible 2019s, one could argue, they may have reached space itself! They were in fact the biggest winner at the awards, picking up 8 trophies, Red Winemaker of the Year (for the wonderful Christophe Briotet), as well as 15 gold, 30 silver and 7 bronze medals. Safe to say, club members lapped up last year’s allocations and the staff too have been enjoying Laurent’s wines throughout the year. It is with great pleasure therefore that we can offer these brilliant wines. Every cuvée is treated individually, without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, which allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the individual terroirs and vintage. What we have is absolutely everything we love about Burgundy. A real sense of place. "From a single vineyard south of the village called ‘La Périere’, as has very stony vineyards. The southerly position gives good ripeness but at a slightly higher altitude to Meursault to the west there is crunchy minerality too. This shows really well already, yellow apples and sweet herbs, a trace of toasted almonds on the nose. Palate has great zip and vim, is citrussy, and stony, with grapefruit and salty limes and a refreshing, clean finish." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
Torbreck Vintners, The Steading Blanc 2023
The Torbreck The Steading Blanc 2023 is a beautifully balanced Rhône-style white from the Barossa Valley, blending Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. It opens with inviting aromas of white peach, honeysuckle, and citrus blossom, followed by hints of almond and spice. It’s generous but fresh - creamy stone fruit and citrus framed by a gentle mineral edge and a touch of texture from partial barrel ageing. The finish is smooth and elegant, leaving a lingering note of peach and lemon zest. Torbreck was established in 1994 from the resurrection of old vines vineyards that had fallen into disrepair on selected sites in The Barossa Valley. Twenty five years later Torbreck makes 19 different cuvées to continued acclaim, sourcing fruit from a number of old, some might say ancient, dry-farmed vines in vineyards. It will come as no surprise to anyone who has tasted them that Torbreck’s wines have been something of a tribute to the great wines of the Rhône Valley while remaining essentially Barossa.
