This is an exotic dry white with dried mango and pineapple and some slate throughout. Full-bodied with dense, rich fruit and saltiness, which, together with extremely energetic acidity, really drive the finish. Drink now or hold.

Grapefruit, dried apricots, pineapple with lemon peel and lime give a clean, crisp aromatic expression. At 75% of the blend, Sauvignon Blanc’s characteristics of lemongrass, apple and herbaceousness come through with a lively and vibrant energy offset by Semillon’s viscous, creamy honeysuckle and vanilla complexity bringing weight and a soft sugary hit, showing that grapes were slightly affected by botrytis and the wine's 7g/L residual sugar. Aged in 80% ex-Yquem barrels.

White peach and lemon peel notes mingle out front in this slightly exotic and very seductive white. A flash of shortbread caresses the finish, allowing white ginger and yellow apple notes to glide in for added range and length. Everything ripples, with finely beaded acidity. Beautiful and distinctive. Drink now through 2028. — JM

A splash of freshness in the glass, the wine pops with loads of just-squeezed grapefruit, lemon peel, vanilla, line, passion fruit, tangerine and honeysuckle. Vibrant and juicy on the palate, all this needs is fresh seafood to make a perfect pairing.
