From the northern Macon and from the excellent 2014 vintage for White Burgundy. Initially notes of pineapple juice, a touch of mango and other tropical fruits. Clean unadulterated fruit - this wine doesn’t see any oak. The free run juices are vinified in Guffens horizontal stainless steel tanks. A textured creaminess on the palate which is amazing given the lack of wood - allows the excellent fruit to shine together with mineral overtones. Great value at $41 AUD. Will look for this in the future.

Dec 23rd, 2021Pale to Mid Lemon in colour. Appley mineral aromas. On the palate quite rich mouth filling fruit with saline minerality coming through. A medium to full bodied white - 100% Chardonnay from Macon-Villages. Fermented in stainless steel - no oak maturation required - the fruit is rich enough on its own. Tastes more like a New World Chardonnay. Good QPR at $41 AUD.
