Vougeraie Gevrey Chambertin
$198.99
The Domaine de La Vougeraie is a selection of estates acquired over time and blended with the family's own vines. Its history goes back to 1964 with Les Evocelles, the first plot to be acquired by our father at the start of his career in his home village of Gevrey-Chambertin.
Twenty years later, the vines of Vougeot and our first plot on the Côte de Beaune were added. 1996 brought more land around Beaune, before the loop was closed and we returned to Vougeot with the addition of Le Clos Blanc, the famous monopole with its glinting gold wines. And that is how the Domaine de la Vougeraie came into being; naturally, like a return to the source.

Merum Priorati Inici
$50.99
Pere Ventura, a family-owned producer of Cava from nearby Penedès, is the proprietor of Merum Priorati. There are 60 acres of estate vines, mostly the traditional varieties of Garnacha and Cariñena, all grown around the town of Porrera, one of the best locations in Priorat. Enologist Roger Oferil adds some Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah to the blend. The wines, aged in French oak barrels, have a modern polish, but notes of mineral and mountain herb frame the lively fruit and anchor the wine in its terroir.
Chermette Pinot Noir
$41.99
From the winemaker: "My wines come from my family's estate in Vissoux, in the Pierres Dorées region in the south of Beaujolais.
Since the 17th century, my family has been rooted in Vissoux; my paternal grandmother was named Eugénie Vissoux. My parents, Martine and Pierre-Marie Chermette have expanded the estate to five appellations from the north to the south of the Beaujolais. The love of vines and wine is therefore a family passion."
The vines take their roots on clay-limestone soil, very well suited to Pinot Noir, at Légny in the Pierres Dorées. The grapes are mostly vinified in whole bunch. This gives a fruity, crunchy wine with richness and structure.

Producer Description

The windy and dry soils of the Estate are predominantly of granite, sandy and very poor in nutrients.

Unico Zelo Pastafarian Sangiovese
$38.99
Brendan arrived in Adelaide in 2010 after working a stint at Veuve Clicquot. A good few years working in retail shops in Brisbane instilled in him a love for wine, and after an extended visit to Champagne, the quixotic desire to make his own wines took hold of him. It was while studying Oenology at the University of Adelaide that he met an Agricultural Science student named Laura. Brendan passed on to Laura that contagious passion for wine we all know so well, and so when she finished her degree, she went to work in the lab at Henschke. Not long after graduating the two of them applied their enormous energy and ambition to start not only Unico Zelo for their wines but also their own distillery, Applewood. From the combination of their love for fruit and their love for spirit,s they are further enabled to make a host of wine and plant-based elixirs ranging from vermouth to amaro to liqueurs. They even have a brand of perfumes called Nømad. These are two people who fully embrace and celebrate the organoleptic buffet nature offers us.
