White Wine

Intensely mineral, with subtle aromatic white flowers and touches of white nectarine fruit. Christoph is a young winemaker from a winemaking family; he’s honed his chops in New Zealand, Germany and South Africa, and is now making natural wines from select

Not an overripe Cali Chard (it’s a natty wine after all), so the fruit is more in the lemon curd citrus vein. Plenty of minerality and a texture derived from 10 months in Neutral French oak in order to evoke hints of a Burgundian pedigree.

We’ve stocked Il Censo’s Praruar for many vintages now, but this is the first release of this new skin contact wine. Insolia tends to be a bit fresher and lighter in comparison to Catarratto; salty and bright, with nectarine and mango fruits.

Slightly wild on the nose open opening, but mellowing out into delightful honeycomb, carob, fennel, tangerine zest and allspice. Procanico is a local strain of Trebbiano, a grape that seems in its element when treated with a healthy dose of skin contact.

A gorgeously fresh mountain wine, with white flowers, green apple, and a profound mineral and acid structure. At 1100 meters these are the highest vineyards in Europe, meaning the vines were never exposed to phylloxera. This makes them some of the last to

Lustig means funny or whimsical in German and is a good description for this wine. While it does show character, it is light-hearted and easy going down. The time the wine spends in contact with the lees gives it a beautiful richness and rounded mouth-fee

Searing mineral and subtle yellow plum fruit build in dense layers, thanks to 100–200-year-old vines (!). Rather than being trained to a system, these hoary vines sprawl freely on the ground, seemingly indestructible after having been exposed to extreme w

The key to Lenkey’s aging regime is early harvesting to preserve acidity. 10 years later, this wine is fully integrated and absolutely singing. A deeply flinty mineral is contrasted with stone fruit skin and a surprisingly balanced acidity.

Cour-Cheverny is a truly obscure, unusual little appellation. Known for it’s high acidity and minerality, the Romorantin grape is also surprisingly age-worthy; residual sugar is often present, as is the case here, but the wine drinks dry. Melon and stone

The label-art was inspired by a vineyard cat, who was supposedly riding on a tractor, fell off and was run over (but survived!). The wine is just as fun as the label. A pleasant, off-dry sweetness with the great mineral and acidic zip of classic mid-Mosel

Frankland River is a cool climate region, and true to form, the winemakers at Alkoomi treat their Riesling in a traditional German fashion: temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, including the blocking of malo. Delicate, aromatic, and bri

Imagine Godello as the White Burgundy of Spain. Deep and rich, sporting orchard fruits and plenty of sunny minerality. César has a vision to craft single parcel wines, and to map Bierzo in the manner of the great crus of the world.
