Waterford Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2009
€19.95Kevin Arnold is famous for his excellent reds at Waterford Estate, but the whites are outstanding too; this for us is a New World version of a Sancerre - clean and fresh with depth, minerality, finesse and real length - delicious! Learn More -
Georg Breuer Terra Montosa Riesling Rheingau 2009
€28.95Selected healthy grapes from mountainside vineyards-including Breuer's top sites Berg Schlossberg and Nonnenberg are harvested at optimum maturity. Skin contact precedes fermentation and extended aging on the lees in oak ovals, in like manner to the top Cru bottlings. Careful assemblage results in an interplay of Rüdesheim's slate character with the more citric, floral personality of Rauenthal: The quintessence of powerful and ageworthy Rheingau Riesling.

Masciarelli Castello di Semivicoli 2007
Regular Price: €33.95
Special Offer: €30.95
Trebbiano can be dull and lifeless; it also produces this wine, which is one of the best whites in Italy! It is layered and smooth and stands up to a wide range of foods and is comparably to fine Burgundy in quality. Learn More -
Mâcon-Bussieres, Le Mansard Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon 2010
€31.952010 Mâcon-Bussières Le Mansard: Relatively strong reduction presently dominates the nose but there is good freshness and verve to the rather rich middle weight flavors that enjoy an abundance of mouth coating and acid-buffering dry extract, all wrapped in a mineral-driven, racy, dry and very crisp finish.'

Meerlust Chardonnay 2007
€32.95Out of stock
Very youthful, vivid and with a brilliant bright platinum colour and pronounced green hue. Complex nose with citrus fruit, green apple & cream flavours, the nose becomes creamy & nutty with delicious bouquet of marzipan, halva & oatmeal. On the palate the wine is full bodied & generous, but still balanced by crispy acidity. There is ripe tropical fruit & creaminess balanced by a pure minerality typical of the variety. The wine has a long, very pleasant lingering finish indicating the richness and persistence of the vintage.

Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 2009
€50.00The Puligny-Montrachet comes from 12 different parcels, mostly planted on calcareous clay and pebbles. Here the nose is admirably elegant for its level with acacia blossom, white peach and a citrus note that can also be found on the pure, racy, defined and lightly stony middle weight flavours that culminate in a clean, dry, focused and driving finish.

Chateau Montelena Chardonnay Napa Valley 2009
€54.95In the glass, this wine has a classic Chardonnay hue of pale golden straw. The bouquet draws you in with delicate nuances of wet stones, lichee, white peach, orange blossoms, and a slight hint of toasted almonds. The palate is soft and fleshy and loaded with bright citrus tones of sweet mandarin and Meyer lemon, white nectarine and rich tropical notes of guava, pineapple, and lichee – all complemented by subtle sweet oak. There is a delicate smoothness to this Chardonnay and fantastic weight throughout. One of the wines which first put Napa Valley on the world map, beating many of France's best wines at the legendary Judgement of Paris in 1976. An Irish connection too, with the Barrett family behind it.

Domaine Vincent Girardin Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2009
€89.95Clearly made in Burgundy, this is a savage wine, a highly distinctive Chardonnay. Immensely powerful, penetrating the palate with a concentrated lemon, honey, wet earth, ripe fruit combination. Full-bodied, it lasts for over a minute on the finish.
“Corton-Charlemagne has an expressive nose of green apple and lightly spiced pear which introduces round, minerally and intense flavours that possess obvious minerality ending with a racy lemony acid bite and an excellent persistence. Learn More
