A clean and vibrant sparkling Pinot Grigio, bottled before the end of primary fermentation to capture it's lively sparkle. Early picking allows for low alcohol along with a zippy energy and lightness. Crunchy primary stone fruit flavours.
A refreshing Chardonnay with a unique character and bright acidity. This blend of two ridge-top West Sonoma Coast sites offers exceptional quality and complexity. With aromatics of Meyer lemon, white citrus flowers and green almond, this wine offers wild flavours of Kefir lime, Mandarin orange pith, and lemon glaze, combined with a Champagne-like yeastiness and minerality.
A 75cl bottle of Sparkling Albarino Extra Brut 2021 by Carboniste. A white wine from Sonoma in the California region of U.S.A.. Made from Alvarinho/Albariño.
From the historic Glen Oaks Ranch, this Pinot Gris thrives in a unique micro-climate by a meandering brook. Enjoy notes of charentias melon, stone fruit, bergamot, and kaffir lime leaf. Picked early for preserved acidity and foot-crushed for a rosé Champagne-like colour. Less than 5 bottles remain.
Jolie-Laide’s inaugural Aligoté, a vision years in the making and a delightful Californian rarity. Sourced from two unique sites in the northern Russian River Valley and San Benito County AVAs. Naturally fermented and aged in a combination of concrete and neutral puncheons for purity and freshness. As you would expect from Jolie-Laide, it has laser beam focus, Chablisienne in style, crisp and clean with mouthwatering salinity.
Watson Ranch Vineyard is perched on a steep hillside overlooking the San Pablo Bay at the southernmost end of the Napa Valley. The cool windy conditions and calcareous soil produce wines with ample natural acidity and salinity. Watson Ranch Chardonnay by Arnot-Roberts is a beautifully fresh white which has more in common with Chablis than the overblown Chardonnays traditionally associated with California.
The little known Ribolla Gialla comes from 19 year old vines in the Napa Valley. It is aged in neutral French oak for 10 months. A great food wine that will match perfectly white fish dishes or soft cheeses.

"The 2021 Chardonnay Campbell Ranch is intensely floral, effusive and tropical in its first impression, beautifully layered and creamy, the 2021 is super-impressive. Hints of tangerine oil, mint, lemon confit and a kiss of French oak meld together nicely. The 2021 is a bit richer than some previous wines here. It's a style that works so well."

"From an own-rooted vineyard planted in 1972, at 1400 ft, 3 miles from the Pacific (it’s Bohan Vineyard), this is fermented in French oak (20% new) and has minimum effective SO2 added. It’s sensational. Taut, fine and lemony with keen acidity, but no feeling of compression. There’s generous crystalline citrus fruit with a fine, spicy structure and a touch of salinity on the finish. Very pure and focused, but offering real complexity at low alcohol. There’s just a faint hint of mineral reduction and everything is in perfect harmony. This would be so hard to place tasted blind. I really love it." Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com, 96 pts
Incredible parcel from Californian pioneer Jamie Kutch. This Chardonnay, sourced entirely from the Bohan vineyard, captures everything we love about California: elegant, balanced and terroir focused.
Older than Napa Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains offers great wines. Jamie Kutch has given up his career in finance to offer you his version of this delicate wines. The vineyard is situated just a mere 3.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. A combination of the sandy loam soils and the cool climate of this site has created a Chardonnay full of cool climate character, unique to California.
The Sanford & Benedict vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA produces some of California's best Chardonnays. Childhood friends Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts use fruit from and old-vine section of this legendary site to produce a wine as iconic as the vineyard it comes from. Inviting ripe fruit and a perfect creamy texture from start to finish. We get a tiny allocation each year and it doesn't hang around for long.
