  2021 Chianti Classico Riserva, Castello di Volpaia

  £4100

  Perched high in the hills of Radda in Chianti, Castello di Volpaia is one of Tuscany’s most historic and picturesque wine estates. Housed within a beautifully preserved medieval village, the estate has been owned by the Mascheroni Stianti family since 1972 and is internationally celebrated for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines that reflect both their high-altitude origins and the family’s commitment to organic viticulture. All of Volpaia’s vineyards are certified organic and lie at elevations of up to 600 metres, making them among the highest in Chianti Classico, imbuing their wines with exceptional freshness, energy, and ageing potential.

  The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva is a beautifully composed wine, crafted from the estate’s finest Sangiovese parcels, aged in a combination of large oak casks and French barriques to add depth and refinement.

  In the glass, it displays an expressive bouquet of wild cherry, redcurrant, and dried rose, with hints of baking spice, sweet tobacco, and crushed herbs. The palate is pure and precise, offering layers of vibrant red fruit, framed by fine-grained tannins and a lifted acidity that speaks to its mountainous provenance. A gentle touch of oak adds polish without overpowering the wine’s natural brightness. The finish is long, graceful, and mineral-laced, with a lingering echo of tart cherry and subtle earthiness.

  The 2021 Riserva is a wine of both structure and finesse, ideal for cellaring over the next 10–15 years, but also captivating in its youth with a short decant. A quintessential expression of Chianti Classico from one of its most admired estates, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, aged Pecorino, and hearty Tuscan cuisine.   BRAVO!

  2022 Chardonnay, Sanford

  £4200

  A luxurious and elegant Chardonnay with enticing notes of grilled peach, lemon and toasted hazelnuts. The palate of bright fruit and honeycomb is beautifully framed by crisp acidity and has a rich texture that carries through to the long, clean finish.

  The fruit comes exclusively from the two estate vineyards in the cool-climate area of Sta. Rita Hills AVA: the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard and the La Rinconada Vineyard. The unusual east-west orientation of the nearby Santa Ynez Mountains, allows cooling maritime breezes from the Pacific Ocean- just seven miles away- to flow over the vineyards, bringing with them morning fog. Afternoon breezes dry out any residual moisture and reduce disease pressure on the vines and clusters. This distinctive mesoclimate promotes a long growing season. The vineyard is split into 52 blocks, each with individual soil composition and microclimate. Broadly, the marine-based soils in the ‘Sanford & Benedict Vineyard’ are a mixture of clay, loam, fractured shale and chert (rocky soil) which force the vine’s roots to dig deep into the soil for nutrients and hydration. The result is naturally low yields of small-berried, concentrated fruit delivering excellent minerality and acidity. The ‘La Rinconada Vineyard’ is made up of sandy, gravelly soil, which imparts precise minerality.

  2019 Estate Chardonnay, Ten Minutes By Tractor

  £4200

  Ten Minutes by Tractor needs little introduction, nor does the man in charge – Martin Spedding. A gently-spoken man with a background in finance and IT, in 2002, he finally acknowledged the fact that his true passion lay in wine. Despite his origins in New South Wales, he simply couldn’t get enough of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and would travel down to Victoria to immerse himself in Australia’s heartland of these noble varieties. In 2003 he visited one of his favourite small wineries on Mornington Peninsula and was delighted to discover that it was for sale. Without a moment’s hesitation, he snapped it up, and so began Martin’s journey with Ten Minutes by Tractor.

  Aged in a mixture of new and old French oak barrels for 11 months.  An exotic nose of curry leaf and spice with hints of honeydew and flint form the backbone of this multiple site Chardonnay. While the acid is tight, it creates a strong drive through the palate that is met by bursts of citrus peel with a fine finish.

  2021 Anaperenna, Ben Glaetzer

  £4200

  Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Ben Glaetzer, the 2021 Anaperenna is a powerful expression of the Barossa Valley, where ancient vines, meticulous winemaking, and rich storytelling come together. The Glaetzer family has been crafting wine in the Barossa for over 30 years, and Ben continues that legacy with a focus on purity of fruit and site expression. The Anaperenna is his flagship blend, a seamless fusion of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from exceptional old vines in the famed Ebenezer subregion, with some vines dating back over 130 years.

  Named after Anna Perenna, the Roman goddess of renewal and longevity, Anaperenna evokes timeless elegance and enduring vitality. The label’s Egyptian Ankh symbol reinforces this theme of regeneration and life, echoing the wine’s capacity to evolve gracefully over decades.

  In the glass, the 2021 Anaperenna nose is seductive and complex, offering layers of dark berries, cardamom, dried anise, and fresh thyme. On the palate, it is voluptuous yet refined, with the structural drive of Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly cradling the lush core of Shiraz fruit. Blackcurrant, plum, and blueberry unfold across a dense, velvety mouthfeel, while subtle oak and fine-grained tannins guide the wine toward an impressively long, satisfying finish.

  This is a wine of depth, balance, and lasting beauty, designed to impress upon release but capable of cellaring gracefully through 2040 and beyond. The 2021 Anaperenna is a testament to Glaetzer’s mastery and the enduring magic of the Barossa.

  2018 Chardonnay, Benevolent Neglect

  £4250

  The 2018 Benevolent Neglect Chardonnay was one of the most talked-about wines of 2019. They’re also one of the wineries that the eminent Jancis Robinson was referring to when she urged her readers to “ take advantage of the creativity of California’s new generation of wine producers.” So naturally, we are delighted to have finally secured a small allocation.

  Don’t expect a big, over-the-top bottling, though—like all of Benevolent Neglect’s wines, the 2018 Chardonnay showcases precision and purity. Winemaker Matt Nagy says of his wine, “The goal with this wine was to eschew traditional ‘California Chardonnay’ as a style and make something more akin to a Cru Chablis.”   As you might expect, the wine delivers on Matt’s vision. The nose leans towards fresh citrus flavours of yuzu and tangerine, with orange blossoms and hints of oyster shell. The palate is electric and direct, with white peaches joining the party alongside lemon marmalade, white pepper, and a mouth-watering finish.

  This Chardonnay comes from a vineyard site that was special enough to warrant “a rehab project,” according to Matt. Organically farmed since the 1970s, the Chardonnay was ungrafted—a rarity in California that trades the eventual death of the vines by phylloxera, a soil-based parasite, for an extra layer of precision and intensity of flavour in the finished wines. The vines had been not-so-benevolently neglected over the last decade, but the raw material was so promising that Matt and his team poured in the work to bring the site back to greatness—and this bottling is proof that their effort was worth it.

  As you might expect from the name, the winemaking style at Benevolent Neglect is to stay out of the way. The wines are fermented with native yeasts and this Chardonnay is aged in a minimal amount of new oak to allow the innate quality of the vineyard to shine through.    Drink now – 2028.
