Sauternes
The 2016 Chateau DโYquem is pure magic and dessert wines donโt get much better. Offering a pale gold color as well as a blockbuster bouquet of honeyed tangerines, tart apricots, liquid rocks, white flowers, and honeysuckle, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an opulent texture, vibrant acidity, and again, an incredible sense of minerality, despite having no shortage of sweetness or richness. The 2016 is a classic blend of 75% Sรฉmillon and 25% Sauvignon that hit 14.2% alcohol with 135 grams of residual sugar. Itโs already complex and approachable yet will keep for 3-4 decades.99 pointsJeb Dunnuck (June 2019)
Critic tasting note: "The nose is fruity, fresh and offers a beautiful elegance. It reveals notes of candied lemon, kumquat, candied pear associated with fine touches of peach in syrup, hints of white flowers as well as discreet hints of sweet spices, fresh almond and a very discreet hint of honeysuckle. The palate is fruity, beautifully balanced, elegant, precise and offers a beautiful suavity, a beautiful roundness, a beautiful definition, tension, a beautiful freshness, delicacy as well as a fine grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of candied vine peach, candied pear and small notes of litchi associated with slight touches of exotic fruits / pineapple in syrup as well as slight hints of almonds, dried fruits and very discreet hints of flowers. Good length. Gourmande and very beautiful persistence. There are a hint of pink lychee, exotic fruits and a discreet hint of nuts on the persistence. There is a hint of almond on the aftertaste.

Pichot Vouvray Moelleux Le Marigny 2018
$42.95
2018 Vouvray moelleux โLe Marignyโย ย (stelvin-luxe seal) From the superb premiere coteau vineyard site (Pichot owning about 90% of this prime site) located just above the village to the west of Clos du Bourg. A gently sweet moelleux with residual sugar around 70 grams per litre making this a wine that will match with so many desserts rather than competing with them for sweetness. Also goes superbly with many rich cheeses having sufficient acidity. Drinking well now and will age effortlessly.

Allandale Winery Semillon 2023

Moondarra Conception Bianco 2021
$37.75
Ultimately a blend of Picolit, Mendoza clone Chardonnay, and Ribolla Giallo blended with Picolit seedlings which have been crossed with Chardonnay and Ribolla. Thereโs also a little Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Friulano to add to this fruit salad.
Hand picked fruit is crushed and fermented on skins without inoculation prior to maceration on skins for about a month after fermentation is complete. Sulphur is added at the conclusion of primary ferment to prohibit malolactic fermentation and preserve Granny Smith acidity. The wine is drained to old barriques for aging on lees. The dry grown fruit has extraordinary concentration of flavour which balances the tannin derived from the skins. The wine is bottled in Spring without fining or filtration.
Conception Bianco is a profound and complex wine. It has intensity and persistence of flavour with delightful balance. There is an array of different flavours competing for attention, with different nuances revealing themselves at each taste.
Pooley Pinot Grigio 2023
$37.97
A vibrant aroma of citrus blossom, candy apple and yuzu on the nose. Bright characters of white peach and apricot follow on the palate with subtle notes of green apple and beeswax. Strong acid and persistent length finish this lovely wine.
