Structural, earthy Chateauneuf Blanc that balances savoury notes with a gentle but persistent backbone of stonefruit and white flowers.
Why we chose it: This is a great example of a really amazing style of wine that we just don't see anywhere near enough of in Australia.
You'll love this if: You're looking to try something different. Looking to see an iconic example of this style. Or happy to explore the world of bigger white wines.
Maybe skip this if: You don't like fun. This wine is amazing.
When to open it: This is a weird one, it is age-worthy, but honestly, drink it now. It won't deteriorate, but also you'll be trading style as much as anything. Will it be a better wine in 15 years? Not really, just different and still amazing. Next result, drink it now, but also don't worry if you end up holding onto it for a while.
