Sentio King Valley Aligoté 2019

From Chris Catlow - quickly becoming one of Beechworth's rising stars.

Aligoté is not so run of the mill variety wise, but think crunchy fresh Chardonnay with a lick of Arneis. It's native to Burgundy, but performs very well in the single vineyard in King valley. Chris has given it some depth and texture, while maintaining the fine herbal/savoury mineral note that great Aligote shows.

Arfion Full Moon Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

Winemakers Notes - Chardonnay is the number one white variety in the Yarra Valley.

Year in and year out our soils produce wines that are both attractive when young and incredibly complex when carefully cellared for over 10 years. We personally believe that Chardonnay should have real flavour without being overly lean or acidic. We strive for subtle fruit weight and texture without one aromatic or structural element dominating the wine.

The Story Whitlands Riesling 2017

Terrific riesling. So intense. So textural. So well balanced and long. Lime, orange zest, spices and more. A subtle lick of sweetness is all part of an excellent show. 93 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Terrason Aligote 2019

"Grafted three winters ago from cuttings taken in the Mornington Peninsula. Grown in the deep volcanic soils of Whitfield in the King Valley. Hand picked, crushed and pressed straight to a stainless steel tank for natural fermentation on full solids. Nine month elevage without any movement. A much more traditional Aligoté.

My first experience with Aligoté was in Gevrey Chambertin which was made into a stunning Bourgogne Blanc for staff and clients, later in Meursault a more serious rendition. Often … more

Thick as Thieves 'Purple Prose' Gamay 2019

Wonderful savoury, earthy notes combine with red currents and wild strawberries. Star anise and herbal aromas in the background. Light bodied with juicy fruits and super soft tannins. Don’t be fooled by the upfront fruit, there is a serious mid palate that soon kicks in. The tannins are so supple that this wine can be enjoyed well chilled on a hot day with no real impact on the structure of the wine.

The Story Whitlands Pinot Noir 2018

Pinot noir from Rory Lane, the brains behind Story Wines. Whitlands in the King Valley is known for being one of the cooler climates in the Australian viticultural landscape.

The resulting wine is imbued with a distinctly cool climate feel. There's spice and a touch of exotic savouriness (think amaro-ish characters), coupled with red fruits and hints of rhubarb. This is a complex and thought provoking wine. One to enjoy on a slow evening.

Range Life Pet-Nat Chardonnay 2020

Winery Notes - "Pétillant Naturel aka pet nat for short, is an old school method of making sparkling wine. Even older than the traditional Champagne method!

How it works - Our Chardonnay begins its ferment process in tank and when it is half way through we bottle it and the wine finishes its ferment in bottle, trapping the CO2 inside and forming bubbles.

The Result - Flavours of fresh apple, citrus and pear have this beauty tasting something between cider … more

Arfion Pinot Grigio 2020

'We call this wine Pinot Grigio because it’s dry with an acid backbone and a savoury, moreish character.

It exhibits red apple and brown pear, rose and spicy cinnamon aromas with a hint of bread crust goodness. The palate is dry, savoury and textural with preserved lemon rind, fennel and pear flavours.' Wine Maker Note

Chrismont La Zona Prosecco NV

"It's grown at about 300 metres above sea level on vines that are now nearly ten years old. It now comes in a proprietary 'King Valley' prosecco bottle, which is lovely to see - a real sign of confidence/harmony for the region. Reckon they are bang on with this release. It's fine and crisp but not at all lacking in flavour. Red apples galore. Some bready complexity. More than an ounce of finesse. More-ish lisp of fruit sweetness. Tick tick … more

Chrismont La Zona Pinot Grigio 2019

Chrismont has long realized the potential of Pinot Grigio as a variety to excite the palates of Australian wine drinkers, and boasts some of the most established vines in the King Valley. What makes our Pinot Grigio style so distinctive is the decision of when to harvest, which comes when we see the first development of green melon flavours in the fruit and its acidity levels still around 7.5 to 8.0g/L. This usually gives a potential alcohol of 11.0 with … more

Chrismont Riesling 2020

From the King Valley in Victoria, this is a delightful example of a riesling, and one of our best value options under $18. Aromatic, good fruit and lengthy acid - without the "Clare kick".
