Santa Tresa Grillo Viognier Organic 2024
Santa Tresa Rina Ianca is an innovative blend of Grillo , an indigenous Sicilian grape, and Viognier, perfectly suited to the warm, sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily . The minerality and freshness of Grillo is beautifully balanced by the intensity and body of Viognier. Straw yellow in colour, the wine opens with layered aromas of white fruits, including peaches, evolving into delicate notes of apricot and fresh herbs. The palate is mineral-driven yet soft, well balanced, and finishes elegantly. Why You'll Love It This is certified organic Sicilian white wine crafted with exceptional care. Viognier is harvested at the end of August, with Grillo picked in early September, both chilled overnight at 6–8°C to preserve aromatic intensity. After gentle destemming and soft pressing, the must settles overnight at 10°C for natural sedimentation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at 17–19°C for 10–12 days to retain freshness, followed by four months of lees ageing to add texture and complexity. Winemaker Stefano Chioccioli creates wines that express Sicily's unique volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate with organic and sustainable practices.

The Holy Snail Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Thierry Delaunay, the fifth-generation of the Delaunay family is now at the helm of Domaine Joël Delaunay. A specialist in the Loire, Thierry sources the fruit for The Holy Snail wines from across the valley, some of which he buys from long-standing grower friends and colleagues. These IGP Val de Loire wines offer excellent value. The Holy Snail Sauvignon Blanc is a blend created by Thierry Delaunay using prime parcels of Sauvignon Blanc from his network of grower friends across the Touraine region of the Loire Valley. Soils here are predominantly clay and silex. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were gently pressed. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 16°C to retain the bright aromatics of the Sauvignon. Following fermentation, the wine was matured on its fine lees for a brief period to add texture to the palate, before being fined, filtered and bottled in early spring.
