Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Buy anything from them - they’re great and can get at BP or Bonny’s! — 5 months ago

Agrapart & Fils (Pascal Agrapart)

Vénus A Avire Grand Cru Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs 2016

Always with such incredible expression of terroir, Agrapart’s 2016 Venus is fabulous today riveting with energy; just electric on the palate. There’s such an incredible combination of richness and purity with impeccable concentration and fruit density. Layers of perfumed citrus oils, ripe orchard fruit, almond skin and crushed stones waft from the glass. The palate is long, vibrant and intense with a mineral and saline inflicted finale. A killer BdB. — 2 years ago

Pepper Tree Wines

Venus Block Orange Chardonnay 2014

See previous notes. They still apply. All the hallmarks of modern Australian Chardonnay. Nutty leesy aromas with rock melon notes - from the cool climate district near the city of Orange. A light to medium weight palate. Proving that the Orange/Tumbaramba district is a great area for cool climate Chardonnay with Penfolds sourcing fruit from here for their top Chardonnays like Yattarna. Also Phillip Shaw (former winemaker for Rosemount when they were famous) has set up a winery here under his own name. — 4 years ago

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019

Pretty funky Pinot - definitely buy more at BP — 7 months ago

Château Rol Valentin

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

From a 375ml.
PnP a bit tight, but luxurious dark fruits,
tannins prevalent but chewy.
Lots of Blue/Black fruit and muddy gravel. Loamy, calls for protein.
Some comments said this was drying. I get that, but not to the point of being unpleasant. Chasing LdH ‘04 is a tough act to follow. This previously garage wine 90-10 Merlot/Cab Franc definitely treads the blacker, more treacly edge.
Not heavy, but black.

Collio Pinot Bianco 2019

This wine has a nice golden color in the glass. I get a muted nose with apricot aromas foremost and citrus minerals chasing. The palate shows stone fruit and minerals galore. Acidity is nice and fresh, even zippy. The finish is medium long and carries the minerals back for a revisit. — 4 years ago

CHASING WINDMILLS GRENACHE Fulldraw Vineyard 2017

Fragrance is amazing. So floral. Just magnificent. Taste is on the lighter side but well integrated. Easy to drink. Cherries and some green, fruit but well balanced. It’s really good. I would not recommend this with a steak — 4 years ago
