Torbreck Vintners, The Steading Blanc 2021
Torbreck's 2021 Steading Blanc is a brilliant example of just how good white Rhône blends can be when grown in the Barossa valley. Made from Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier, it’s a beautifully textured, expressive wine that balances richness with real freshness. On the nose, you’ll find ripe stone fruits, citrus peel, white flowers, and a hint of spice. The palate follows through with generous flavour, creamy texture, and a clean, mineral-driven finish. It’s layered and food-friendly, but not heavy - think roast chicken, seafood in buttery sauces, or even mildly spiced dishes. The Steading is sourced entirely from the Estate's Descendant Vineyard on Roennfeldt Road. Torbreck is best known for their bold reds but this white is a bit of a standout: elegant, versatile, and quietly complex.
Viré-Clessé, Domaine Saumaize-Michelin 2021
We are so excited to present for only our second year this wonderful Domaine - Saumaize Michelin. Yet another stand out producer and even in this tricker vintage the wines really are something else! Unsurprisingly I'm not the only one enchanted by this small domaine in the Mâconnais... Neal Martin, Allen Meadows and William Kelley are all worshipping at the altar of Saumaize-Michelin, and it's time we all joined them! Tasting the range earlier this month I was shocked by how well they stood up to the Cote d'Or, outshining even the odd Puligny 1er Cru! Allen Meadows continues to wax lyrical about each cuvees, so be sure to grab a case before they vanish in this frustratingly short vintage.
