Each case contains 2 bottles of each:

Echeverria Sauvignon Blanc Reserva / Curico Valley, Chile

The grapes for this wine are hand-picked and the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks. This vibrant and pristine Sauvignon Blanc combines grassy aromas of fresh herbs and green pepper, with citric notes of grapefruit and lime. The palate is fresh and crisp, with a natural balanced acidity and a fruity finish.

Telmo Rodriguez Basa / Rueda, Spain

Basa is made from Verdejo and Viura grapes in the Rueda DO, about two hours northwest of Madrid. The region is famous for fresh white wines made from Verdejo and this is a fitting example. The name comes from the 40-year-old 'baso' or bush-trained vines that are planted on limestone-rich soils at over 700-meters elevation on a plateau along the Duero River. The vineyard is farmed organically, and fermentation is carried out spontaneously with native yeast. Expect a fresh, fruit-driven white wine with just the right balance between charming fruit and aromatic complexity.

Cabert Pinot Grigio / Friuli, Italy

Fruity, balanced, hints of nuts and toasted bread. Hors d’oeuvre, soups, fish and white meat. 

Le Poggere Bianco Est! Est!! Est!!! / Lazio, Italy

This wine is from the northwest part of Lazio, near the border with Umbria. Legend has it that a bishop traveling to Rome would send a scout ahead of time to establish which inns were offering the best wines and he'd mark them with the word Est (which translates to “it is” in Latin). When he reached Montefiascone, the wine was so excellent there that the scout noted “Est! Est!! Est!!!” on the local inn’s front door, and so this wine is a nod to this story. A blend of three native grapes. It has refreshing lemon and green apple notes, some minerally sensations and a little breadiness. On the palate, it's refreshing, citric and savoury with lots of bright acidity and a lively fish.

Chateau de Caraguilhes Cochon Volant Blanc / Corbieres, France

40% Viognier, 30%  Vermentino, 30% Colombard. Beautifully clear, a very pale golden color with tints of green, revealing a lovely freshness. Very expressive with lemony notes. Lovely Freshness. The light, aromatic roundness comes from the Viognier grape, while the Colombard contributes the body. An easy-drinking wine, ideal to share with friends. Pair with grilled mussels, monkfish with fennel, oysters, or on its own as an aperitif.

Hess Shirtail Ranches Chardonnay / California, USA

Our 352 acre Shirtail Creek estate vineyard takes advantage of Monterey’s cooling fog and Pacific coastal breezes, drawn across the Gabilan Mountains into the Salinas Valley, creating an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay. The moderate temperatures lengthen the growing season, allowing the fruit to evolve with layers of distinct Central Coast flavors. Our Chardonnay is fermented and aged in stainless tanks without any oak or malolactic influence. Shirtail Ranches Chardonnay is a hallmark representation of a coastally-influenced wine. We age this Chardonnay sur lie for approximately 6 months. A touch tropical, our Chardonnay is crisp and clean, bright with balanced acidity, that lets the signature lemon-lime and a touch of apple flavors of Monterey shine through.

Winemaker Notes

Made from 100% Bench vineyards on the Escarpment in Vineland and Beamsville, the impossibly complex bouquet darts between violets, classy, perfumed raspberries, and darker blue cherry-pit amaro fruit. On the palate, we have intensely fruity, iron-tinged mineral flavours with notes of anise. It finishes long and slately-clean, with even a hint of cherried vanilla. From the single vineyards of Hanck, Wismer-Parke, Wismer-Parke Wild West End, Saunders and McNally, it delivers the goods we have been waiting for: the rich, hauntingly-complex, limestone-mineral flavours of the Bench! It may be at its best from 2024-2029.

91 Points, Rebecca Gibb MW (Vinous)

An unadulterated expression of Pinot Noir. Broody, savory and smoky, the wine envelops you with its seductive and slightly mysterious caress. There are herbal undertones, with 30% whole bunch undoubtedly contributing some of that character, but it's only one layer of many, not the dominating factor. This was a warm summer but the wine retains mouthwatering freshness, and the whole bunch also brings a lovely sappy tension on the long finish. There's 20% new French oak, allowing the fruit to be the star. Supple and drinking well now, it's an intriguingly fragrant style that shows both an adventurous and a more natural side to New Zealand Pinot Noir.

Pinot Noir

Winemaker Notes

A hymn to the bright delicacy of Pinot Noir, the Premiere Cuvee Rosé is named on account of its composition of only the first pressing. The pink copper color with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while ageing. The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing. The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of Chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherry, fig and blackberry. Red fruit captured at their full freshness on the palate. The finish is bright and long.

93 Points, Decanter

There's a touch of orange peel on the nose along with notes of tart red fruit. Despite the lightness and delicacy there is concentration on a creamy palate, where lemon and strawberry play off each other. The finish reveals even richer citrus on this subtle wine.

Winemaker Notes

We have been making wine from the Johan Vineyard, in the new Van Duzer AVA, since 2013 and have fallen hard for the vineyard's commitment to the most forward thinking Biodynamic vineyard practices. The wines made from the 80 acre Johan site are truly distinctive due to the farming techniques and geologic influences, translating into something special in the bottle!

We have loved our varietal Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Johan bottlings and decided in 2018 to experiment with a co-ferment of both grapes utilizing the technique of "carbonic maceration", a style and fermentation typical to wines made in the Beaujolais region in France. The result was fantastically interesting and has often deserved a special bottling.

Along with notes of stewed strawberries and a touch of wet flinty rock, the wine also has a light and elegant floral streak, connecting it to the art on the label by Portland based artist, Camille Shu's "Tulips"

A deft blend (read: obsessed-over) of Gamay Noir parcels from single-vineyard origins, with the expression of the terroir of all-Niagara as its goal … this wine leads us on a dizzy dance combining the deep, ripe fruit and silky tannins of NOTL (Niagara-on-the-Lake) with the delicate perfume and limestone angularity of the best Bench (Escarpment) vineyard fruit. A bewitching nose of rose petals, black raspberry, and smoky cherry jelly. Already incredibly delicious, best from 2023-2025!  Wismer-Foxcroft, Bai Xu, Bator, Willms … all these great terroirs have found their place in this wine that effortlessly marries balance and a slatey minerality, dancing the line between easy drinkability and ageability.

CHARDONNAY

Winemaker Notes

An incredible vintage and a return to greatness after a very challenging 2020 vintage, we truly couldn’t be more pleased with the 2021 Chardonnay “Un” wine. The aromatics quickly draw you in and are bathed in a deeply intoxicating melange of floral chamomile, quince, and flint. The textural balance is spot on this vintage, a trait we believe defines our wines.

Our Chardonnay “Un” is a cuvée of exceptional organic and biodynamic Chardonnay sites in the Willamette Valley. A mix of younger vines and long-term “estate-like” vines gives a truly cross-AVA look into Willamette Valley Chardonnay.

The wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and kept on their lees for 9-10 months and we resist stirring the lees. We like to vary the ripeness levels to coax different profiles from each of our sites. We are very careful with the French and Austrian oak barrels we choose to let them help structure and season the wine, but not dominate (think overly salted dishes) the character of the Chardonnay sites.

Winemaker Notes

A terroir from which world-renowned sweet wines are produced, the Chaume 1^er Cru and Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru appellations also have the capacity to produce great dry whites. The Ronceray cuvée refers to the Abbey of the same name, owner of the Chaume vineyard from the 11^th century. Until the French revolution the lords of Haute-Guerche, farming this vineyard, were paying the nuns with "the best quarter of the harvest"... The "Quarts-de-Chaume" name was born.

Ronceray is a complex wine, resulting from the blend of our plots on the rump of Quarts-de-Chaume. A terroir with complex geology, the marriage of shales and pudding sandstones gives this cuvée a sharp minerality and a floral and fruity richness. A fine bitterness, signature of this terroir, brings complexity and length on the palate.

A very vibrant and ripe Calvert with attractively spicy oak integration, as well as abundant red and dark cherries. Super fragrant. The palate is so silky and plush, packed with concentrated, fresh red-cherry flavor. Blueberry finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Domaine Jean Bourdy Côtes du Jura Rouge / Jura, France

Floral cherry fruit mixed with earth and leather on the nose. Almost a perfect orchard and farm on the nose. The wild cherry fruit and floral components mixed with the adjacent barnyard and earth. Light bodied, complex, and elegant.

Dominique Piron Morgon La Chanaise / Beaujolais, France

This wine comes from one of the richer crus of Beaujolais. It has a deep, earthy nose with berry fruits. On the palate, notes of cherry and mushroom with well-balanced tannins and a good length. 

Chateau de Caraguilhes Tian Ran  / Corbieres, France

100% Cinsault from the vineyard named L’Olivette. Grapes are destemmed and crushed, then matured for 3 months in concrete vats, after which the wine is bottled. No added sulphites. Ethereal with notes of thyme and rosemary, touches of toasted bread. The nose then opens up a little more to produce more subtle aromas of peony and raspberry. Delicate, fruity and generous at the same time. A candid and juicy wine. This Cinsault opens up without any reserves. Pair with Iberico pork chops with thyme, capon with rosemary, or on its own under the pergola.

The minerality makes up the matrix of this invigorating white so that when we close our eyes, it reminds us of the fragrances of a torrent or an undergrowth after the rain.

These vineyards cover the hilly slopes of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. There are only four Premier Crus Pinot Noirs: “Les Fichots”, “En Caradeux”, “Creux de la Net”, “Iles des Hautes et Basses Vergelesses”. Two new “clos” have also received the appellation Premier Cru: “Clos du Village” and “Clos Berthier”.

The grapes from Domaine Champy's “Les Quartiers”, “Les Pins”, “La Morand” and “Derrière Frétille” are used in this wine. They are grown on clay and limestone soil. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented and aged for 10 months in barrel (30% of which are new). This wine is pale golden in colour with hints of silver. It has good aromatic intensity and nice transparency. The nose opens with white flower, citrus and wild mint notes, and a mineral touch. A frank, fresh and elegant attack. On the palate, the wine is mineral, harmonious and rich, with a long and persistent finish.
