Toscana Blanco 'Metafisica', Castello Romitorio 2021
Metafisica is Castello Romitorio’s thoughtful Tuscan white, blending Chardonnay from Montalcino with Trebbiano (Procanico) from Scansano. The components are vinified separately and aged on lees in barrique, bringing texture and complexity while keeping the focus on freshness and balance. 2021 marks an important step for the wine, refining its shape and sense of place. The Wine Advocate's Monica Larner has declared " Filippo Chia's Castello Romitorio is on fire. All of his wines are enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight ", and having pushed through to the front rank of Montalcino, Castello di Romitorio is arguably Tuscany's most exciting address. When we first brought on Castello di Romitorio we were convinced this was an estate going places and it's a real pleasure to see Filippo and the team achieve the superstar status they deserve.
Yarra Yering, Chardonnay 2021
Est. delivery in August, 2026 Yarra Yering is one of those names that Australians say with a quiet reverence. Founded by the late, great Bailey Carrodus in 1969, the estate was a pioneer of cool-climate viticulture in the Yarra Valley at a time when the idea of world-class Chardonnay from Victoria was, to put it kindly, ambitious. The 2021 Chardonnay comes from old, low-yielding vines on the estate's distinctive red volcanic soils, handled with the same restrained intelligence that defines everything made here. Partial barrel fermentation, careful use of oak, and a winemaking philosophy that trusts the vineyard over the winery. The result is a Chardonnay that feels more Burgundian in spirit than antipodean in ambition: white peach, lemon curd, and toasted hazelnut framed by a fine, saline tension that keeps everything taut and focused. There is genuine depth here, but it never feels heavy.
