Domaine de Bellene is the creation of Nicolas Potel – the son of the legendary Gérard Potel of Domaine Pousse d’Or. Potel's name has become synonymous with Burgundian wine and he is known for constantly challenging the borders of traditional winemaking in the region.

Nicolas Potel has a real talent for producing super white wines in so-called lesser terroirs, such as this Santenay lieu-dit, using larger oak barrels to complement rather than dominate the fruit. An intriguing wine with a beguiling profile of white flowers, yellow fruits and citrusy acidity.

About the vintage: A difficult vintage to say the least, but not one without merit. The region suffered reduced yields from spring frosts and a cool summer, meaning this vintage would have to be won through hard work in the vineyard and in the winery. This is a year of smaller quantities of fresh, refined and thoughtful wines from a full range of climats. A return to a cooler vintage, compared to recent years, will be sure to delight classic Burgundy lovers who favour elegance and finesse.

Winemaker and co-founder Rob Cameron has a colourful winemaking background – learning his craft in unique destinations such as Cyprus, Bulgaria and Hungary before moving on to France, Spain and Italy. For him, the Invivo range is all about taking some of the elegance from the old world and putting that style into amazing grapes, all the while offering wines that are fun and a bit unique.

Packed with ripe melons, guava and punchy limes, these aromas are electric in the glass, leading to a wave of tropical fruit filling the palate. This powerful wine has a generous drive of lime-infused acidity through the sweet, fruited mouth-feel and a lengthy finish that is perfectly refreshing, showing great phenolic tang that emphasizes the superbe balance between the fruit and acids. Classic and punchy in style, this is a stellar example of what New Zealand can do with this grape. 

This is a lovely wine to enjoy with light snacks and sunshine, but for something more substantial pair these bold flavours alongside south-east Asian cuisines that feature notes of lime, chilli and coriander.

In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. These grapes were sourced in the Stellenbosch district and meant a lot of nosing around the restrictive quota system prevalent at the time.

Today, the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking. “Our vision remains to make distinctive, refined wines that are expressive of their terrain and rank amongst South Africa’s finest. A pursuit of quality, nothing less.” Neil Ellis

Amica, derived from the Latin Amicus, can be described as a gathering of friends, telling a story of companions who have come together around a table to partake in a good meal. Winemaking rules were broken for this barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc, which was made via wild fermentation and raised in old French oak. The results are a complex and textured expression of this flavourful and well-known grape. 

The source of the fruit is a single vineyard site from the Jonkershoek Valley in 
Stellenbosch. Expect scents of fruit blossoms supported by notes of honeysuckle, white nectarine and melon. The mouth feel is fresh with flinty minerality and lightly textured weight, with waxy notes contributing to a structured and lengthy finish. 

A smart pairing alongside green Thai curry or seared Ahi tuna.

Radford Dale is one of South Africa’s leading independent Wineries. Based on the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch and specializing in producing site-specific, natural wines.  Named by Decanter Magazine as the Best Chenin produced in South Africa, this is one of the greatest representations of how Chenin can and should be made.

The fresh vibrancy of white peach and apple aromas on the nose, hint at the wine’s sophisticated elegance and a touch of cinnamon and adds to its complexity. A generous mid palate of quince, pineapple and a weighty feel reward while the bright acidity refreshes with an interesting tang and persistent clean, mineral finish.

Because of Chenin Blanc’s awesome acidity and inherently sweet fruit flavor, you’ll find it pairs well with foods that have a sweet and sour element. Southeast Asian cuisine or pork chops with apples - also give it a try with grilled or barbecued shrimp!

The Merlot grapes for this Blanc de Noir were carefully fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromatics. In the glass aromas of raspberries, citrus orange peel and lavender emerge. The palate features spry acidity cradling crunchy red berry fruits with suggestive airy florals and stoney mineral notes lasting into the lively finish.

This Chenin has a nose of green and yellow citrus, stone fruit and hint of flint. The palate has lovely texture with a full mouthfeel typical of the Swartland.

The Moreau family has been settled in the heart of Chablis since 1884. Louis Moreau, the sixth generation, studied oenology and viticulture in California and took over from his father when he returned to France in 1994. Nowadays, the domaine's vineyards extend all over the four levels of the appellation: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru.

Thanks to its multiple exposures to the sun, Grand Cru Valmur develops more specifically fruity and round aromas and is less marked by the calcareous and clay subsoil. In the mouth, this wine displays a robust and powerful character, feeling less steely than its neighbour, Grand Cru Les Clos. Expect soft notes of acacia and orange blossoms with nectarine and yellow pear notes to unfold on the palate with shades of salt-tinged sweet spices lasting long into the well-defined finish. 

This Grand Cru will pair nicely with roast pork with candied chestnuts and spices.

Vassaltis is the latest addition to Santorini’s long, storied winemaking history. Owner Yannis Valambous’ passion for wine drew him back to the island of Santorini, where he spent many a happy family holiday as a child. In the wake of the 2010 Greek financial crisis, a plan took root in his mind, a plan that was part dream, part folly. Yannis sought to breathe new life into the vineyards he inherited from his father.

An exceptionally complete wine with a great ageing potential, shows the true essence of what Santorini and Assyrtiko are about: aromas of basalt and pumice stone with ripe tropical fruits, honeysuckle and maritime salinity, and a palate of salty green fruits with high levels of minerality and acidity.

The long aftertaste adds depth and weight to the wine making it a perfect pairing for seafood and fish.

The Moreau family has been settled in the heart of Chablis since 1884.

Nowadays, the domaine's vineyards extend all over the four levels of the appellation: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru.

This Premier Cru site generates very fruity wines with notes of crunchy orchard fruits such as apple and pears with plenty of citrus influence. The palate is lush and complex with layered fruit aromas underscored by chalky, saline-tinged tones. There is a charming vivacity that is characteristic of the stony soil of 1er Cru Vaillons, which makes its way into each bottling.

Serve on pan-fried foie gras or a Bresse fattened chicken with morels.

The grape variety, Scheurebe, was discovered in 1916 in Irmtraud Bamberger's hometown. 100 years later, Christian decided to replant this grape variety, also known as the German sister of Sauvignon Blanc.

As its name indicates, the grape Scheurebe is not shy at all. This fresh white is exuberantly aromatic on the nose, with notes of citrus and sour cherries. On the palate is extremely refreshing and vibrant. The wine has good length and acidity making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of food pairings.

This wine would pair perfectly with any fish dish and summer salads.

Leeu Passant is the Franschhoek Winery of Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines. The Leeu Passant wines are multi-regional bottlings inspired by the classic age-worthy wines of the Cape from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s. These were authentic wines unique to the culture, terroir, history and tastes of the Cape, and they strive to reflect these unique factors in their wines.

The grapes for the Stellenbosch Chardonnay are hand-harvested from a parcel of
Chardonnay planted in the deep loam-rich soils of Helderberg Mountain.
Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts and the wine is aged for 18 months in
barriques, 30% new.

Spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels followed by natural malolactic fermentation. After spending 12 months on the lees, the wine was racked, blended, minimal sulphur added and aged a further 6 months in barrel before bottling.

This textured Chardonnay reflects its maritime climate with the vibrant palate delivering notes of Key lime sorbet followed by layers of stone-fruit and lemon curd. The touch of salinity and lush mouthfeel, is well balanced by a zesty acidity. Best served at 10-12 °C, it will show optimally when decanted within the first 3 years after bottling. Will benefit from cellaring up to 10 years.

Bodega Abadal, established in 1983, embodies the longstanding winemaking heritage of Valentí Roqueta's family in Pla del Bages, spanning over eight centuries. Situated around the Roqueta farmhouse where Valentí grew up, Abadal honors the family's roots and winemaking tradition in the region. The vineyards, located on terraces at various elevations, thrive on clay and limestone soil amidst woodland surroundings. Abadal's commitment to the region extends to the restoration and conservation of indigenous grape varieties, as well as historic dry stone huts and vats, all of which express a rich wine legacy in Bages.

It's in the vineyard where Abadal's wines are born and defined. Their work to revive local varieties led them to Picapoll - a grape variety that grows in small, tight clusters, featuring tiny round berries often marked with "picades" or indentations on the skin, giving way to it's name. Elegant and captivating, this wine blends citrus notes with white fruits like pineapple and peach, along with floral hints reminiscent of a forest setting, including fennel, lavender, and mint. Lees contact adds body and texture to the wine while balanced acidity complements the lingering finish.

Try this with tallarines in a mushroom sauce or bream baked in salt.

Domaine Charly Nicolle was created with less than one hectare in 1979 by Robert Nicolle and Josette Laroche, who can both trace their winemaking heritage in Fleys back to the late 19th century. Since the creation of the Domaine, they have increased the size of their vineyards bit by bit, and today the Domaine produces wine from 20 hectares of vines. In 1999, they were joined by their son Charly, who had just graduated from the lycée viticole. Charly is now officially in charge of the Domaine, together with his wife Lucie, but Robert is still out in the vines nearly every day. The largest holdings of the Domaine are in AOC Chablis, located mostly around the family's beloved village of Fleys.

Named for its warm microclimate, Les Fourneaux (meaning  'The Furnace') is known for creating wines that offer ripe fruit notes alongside the classic minerality that Chablis is famous for. This rendition reveals a stirring bouquet of lush stone fruits, graceful florals, slivered almonds with a drop of honey.  Medium bodied on the palate, the developed fruit character forged by the site's terroir is effortlessly tempered by zesty acidity and hallmark flintiness that extends itself into the wine's very fine finish. 

Treat yourself to a wedge of creamy brie cheese drizzled with honey-covered walnuts alongside a glass of this stunning Premier Cru wine.

For four generations now, the Frey winery has been operating in the heart of the Ober-Flörsheim village, known as the highest elevated municipality in south-western Rheinhessen. The family's roots of vineyard work go as far back as the 18th century and today, grapevines flourish on 23 ha spread over a mosaic of microclimates and soil types from North to South. The winery is operated by the current generation of Freys - Philipp and Christopher, along with their father Stefan. The focus is on organic and selective picking of fully ripe grapes with near-natural fermentation, initiated by native yeasts. 

Stimulating aromas of yellow plum, apricot and quince with cool, chalky mineral overtones and citrusy vigour. This Kabinett style reads as off-dry, balanced by the Riesling grape's natural, lively acidity. Light and spry on the palate, with delicate florals and acacia on the finish. 

The residual sweetness in this wine will be a solid match for dishes that feature a spicy kick. Turn up the heat levels in your favourite meals and pour a glass of off-dry Riesling to temper that spice!

After settling in South Africa in 1990, Argentinian-born Billy Hughes was inspired to start his own wine venture in the Cape. After learning the ropes of viticulture and winemaking on his own, he and his late wife Penny bought an old wheat farm in Malmesbury, near Cape Town in the year 2000. Now, more than two decades after its inception, Nativo Wines continues to explore innovative and sustainable ways of making wine. The last few years has seen the addition of some single varietal wines to their range and the design of some one-of-a-kind cellar equipment.

The name Nativo encompasses allusions to Billy’s native origins, his progress to becoming a naturalised South African and desire to produce wines that are reflective of their origin, infused with site-specific characteristics.

Mullineux Family Wines was established in 2007 in the Swartland region of South Africa, owned and managed by Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Within a very short time period the winery established itself as one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine brands, both locally and on the international front.

The Swartland has a very unique geology which allows for exploration of its various terroirs through Western Cape classic varieties like Chenin Blanc and Syrah, among others.

Grown in the Schist soils of Roundstone Farm, the home of Mullineux, these sustainably farmed Chenin Blanc bush vines produce small clusters, tiny grapes, and thicker skins, which lend to the structure of this wine. Planted on a contour to conserve soil integrity and ensure erosion control, this wine exudes the exact sunshine, freshness and phenolic balance.

With nuances of Asian pear and fennel bulb, combined with fresh quince and ruby grapefruit, these are precisely the highlights that lead to a great texture and zesty finish.
