Sauvignon Blanc Blind River 'Arona' |
Very aromatic with loads of passion fruit and cement, as well as some grassy character. It’s medium-bodied with lots of fruit and a slightly off-dry sense to it, but it’s crisp and delicious. Tangy at the end. Drink now. Screw cap. |

Sauvignon Blanc |
Yellow straw. Herbaceous nose with capsicum and canned asparagus. Palate is crisp and dry with a delicious granny smith apple note and a layered finish with canned peas and wax. Drink through 2028. A fine wine. |

Umbria Bianco ‘Acqua della Serpa’ |
The 2021 Bianco Acqua della Serpa is a blend of 20% Martone, 20% Malvasia, 20% Grechetto, 20% Pecorino and 20% Trebbiano Spoletino refined all in terracotta amphora. It is spicy and wickedly fresh, with a captivating bouquet of ginger-spiked apples, fresh mint and hints of curry leaf. This is round and surprisingly weighty on the palate, yet balanced, with salty mineral tones underscoring ripe orchard fruits and green melon. The medium-length finish has a tart green citrus tinge, leaving crisp Grechetto tannins to resonate. |

Umbria Bianco ‘Colle Fregiara’ |
Vivid yellow gold, the 2021 Bianco Colle Fregiara is a seductress. Rich and sweetly floral, with baked apple and pear give way to gingery spice. It's decidedly savory, showcasing mineral-tinged orchard fruits and exotic citrus, with a smoky tinge toward the close. This leaves a glycerol concentration to coat the palate even as it finishes dry and lightly structured with a suggestion of nectarine that lingers on. The Bianco Colle Fregiara is a variety Trebbiano Spoletino that refined for ten months in terracotta amphorae. It’s a gorgeous example of what can be achieved with the variety, and clocks in at an impressive 12.5% alcohol. |
