Selection
Rivolta Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno 2017
$44.9993 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
– Ian d’Agata (Vinous)
Bodegas Gaintza Getariako Txakolina Aitako 2019
$44.9985% Hondarrabi Zuri, 15% Chardonnay
Fully hand-harvested. Fermentation is mostly in stainless steel at low temperatures to preserve aromas, using natural yeasts. Apple and pineapple aromas. Fresh and mineral with good body, roundness and balance.
Chatelet 2018 Hautes Cotes De Nuits
$44.99Look for red fruit (strawberry and cherry) and hints of violets and spice. Fine, medium- bodied tannins on the palate with soft and refreshing acidity round out this savoury Burgundian red. Utterly delicious on its own and versatile with food.
For wine lovers looking for that rare bottle of Red Burgundy that truly over delivers for the price. This Pinot Noir will stand out on the shelf for being one of the very few offerings under $45.00
Villalin Quincy Sauvignon Blanc 2022
$44.99The Quincy appellation in the east of the Loire Valley has a very long and unique history, having been named France’s second AOC following Chateauneuf du Pape.
Husband and wife team make a rich and textured Sauvignon Blanc that shines as bright as its close neighbours from Sancerre and Pouilly Fume. Quincy cultivates citrus notes such as grapefruit, hints of menthol and pepper, and aromas of acacia and white flowers. Its mouthfeel is a combination of fresh and fruity.
Springfield Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$44.99Springfield adopts a minimal-intervention approach in making its Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine takes its name, ‘Whole Berry’ from its vinification – with grapes macerated whole, then fermented with natural yeasts, racked, and finally matured in French oak for one year. The wine has a velvety-smooth texture with soft tannins and typical Cabernet Sauvignon notes of red fruits and hints of cedar. A tremendous bottle of Cabernet for the price.
