"At Domaine Tempier grapes from our different vineyards are skilfully blended to create this wine, made up of combined with Grenache, Cinsault and a hint of Carignan.
Classic, textbook red Bandol that always shows the vintage nicely, aromas of leather, wild herbs, floral, plummy fruit. A blend of close to 75% Mourvedre and the balance Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan, this medium to full-bodied, rich and textured." Notes from the Winery

Winery Notes - "Pinot Noir from vines with an average age of 35 years. The vineyard of Auxey-Duresses is located next to a valley, between Meursault and Monthélie. A blackberry bouquet with a tart finish and textured tannins. A powerful wine when young, the tannins soften and the wine unveils itself when opened after a few years."
88-89 Points. Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy - "Just racked after a late malolactic, not sulphured. More purity to the nose than the Maranges. … more

Domaine Thomas is run by the ninth generation of the family. Jean and his wife Ginette own 13 hectares at Verdigny, mostly planted to Sauvignon blanc. This is Sancerre at its flinty, minerally, racy best. Very clean, fresh and flavoursome wine at a moderate 12.5% alcohol. This is as all Sancerre should be - absolutely no new oak.

Grown on a south facing slope, the fruit is hand picked lightly crushed, and basket pressed. The heaviest solids are briefly settled out by gravity, then the juice transferred to barriques awaiting the start of fermentation. This occurs naturally, when it is ready, and takes as long as it takes.
Well balanced fruit will contain everything required to ferment to dryness. Naturally formed sulphides occur in some barrels - usually to a point which produces the beautiful nutty, matchstick characters … more

Inspired by the fine-boned, savoury Cru Beaujolais' made in Fleurie and Juliénas, Domenica's Beechworth Gamay is a beautiful expression of the variety. Gamay seems to be a natural fit for Beechworth's climate and soil, yielding an earthy, almost Pinot-esque note in the wine. This plays beautifully in Domenica's Gamay, tempering dark berry notes and sweet, woody spice with savoury elements and a fine tannin structure.

Distributor Notes "Characterful Riesling from the steeply sloping vineyards of the middle Nahe region. The vines grow in stony, weathered volcanic soils of porphyry and melaphyr in particular, with certain amounts of slate and quartzite. 100% selective hand harvested. Fermented and matured in stainless steel vats and large oak barrels. Wonderfully fresh and well defined, elegant with a tingling minerality. A delicious wine for every day with moderate alcohol, very soothing acidity and a dry finish."
‘Effusive white fruit and mirabelle with some floral notes make this racy, Kabinett-style riesling so juicy and energetic on the palate, with a long, medium-dry, mineral finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. The first vintage of this wine. Drink now. Screw cap.’ 91 points, Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, July 2021.

The Grosses Gewächs Réserve wines are selectively harvested from the finest parcels of very old, ungrafted vines. They are naturally fermented in the same way as the GGs but stay for 24 months on the full lees in traditional Fuder casks. They are then held in bottle for a further 24 months before release. This extended maturation brings an extra dimension of finesse and balance to our wines. Erdener Prälat is perhaps the greatest vineyard in the Mosel region. It … more
