THE "DISCOVERY" WHITES

White

Notes...A quintessential representation of the varietal style with both early

and late harvested fruit. Aromatic yet dry, this wine offers complex

flavours of zesty citrus, gooseberry, subtle lychee and pineapple with a distinctive elderflower aroma. The finish is mouth-watering

and incredibly refreshing. Perfect with seafood!

The geeky stuff...Planted on the limestone soils of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding

Natural Beauty, Woodchester Valley is a family- owned vineyard and

winery established by Fiona Shiner in 2007 when she planted an

acre of vines at her home in Amberley.

The estate has now grown to 45 acres across three sites within the

Stroud Valleys and produces a range of award-winning wines, most

of which are vegan-friendly like this Bacchus.

fresh herbs, a fresh, juicy palate and a long, mouthwatering finish.

The geeky stuff...The Dão river valley lays in the Silgueiros region which has been

settled for 4000 years. Traces left by the Romans and Moors show

that the wine was produced there long before Christ. Dão is one of

Portugal’s best-known and most prestigious appellations, having

been formally set up in 1908.

The geeky stuff...Close proximity to both the sea and the Alps results in afternoon

breezes across the vineyards, cooling the grapes after a warm and

sunny day. All the fruit is hand-picked.

W115. Quercus Pinot Bianco

WINERY: Quercus

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Pinot Bianco

REGION: Gorisha, Slovenia

£31.00

A sub-Mediterranean climate with a mixture of warm sea air and the influence of cold winds from the Alps.

The geeky stuff...Just 10 kilometres from the Italian border, in the viticultural paradise

of Gorizia, 400 Slovenian families work together to make the Quercus wines. Vines have been cultivated here since before the time of the

Romans and today they produce charming and great value examples

of the same grape varieties on the other side of the border.

Notes...On the nose there are notes of apple, grapefruit and lemon, as well

as a pleasant floral aroma. Smooth and full-bodied on the palate,

with a long finish.

The geeky stuff...Arnold Holzer was born 1987 and as the fifth generation to do so,

took over the winery from his parents in 2010. The Eschenhof Holzer winery is located in Großriedenthal, in the Wagram wine region.

An innovative wine maker, Arnold draws on the unique bounty of nature, with a great deal of creativity, a distinctive style and a sense

for delicious creations.

W116. Zero-G Grüner Veltliner

WINERY: Eschenhof Holzer

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Pinot Bianco

REGION: Wagram, Austria

£28.00

Notes...Light in body yet intensely flavoured, this Grüner Veltliner offers

allied to a creamy texture particular to the Wagram region. The

balance is really satisfying, the wine refreshing from start to finish.

W155. Cowslip Valley Riesling

WINERY: Babich

GRAPE VARIETY: Riesling

REGION: Cowslip Valley, WaihopaiValley, Marlborough, NZ

£42.00

In the early decades of the New Zealand wine industry, flagons were the standard way to bottle wine.

The geeky stuff...In 1910, at 14 years old, Josip Babich emigrated from Dalmatia (part

of modern day Croatia) to join his three brothers, who were digging

and selling Kauri gum in New Zealand’s far north. In 1911, the brothers

put a deposit on land in Henderson Valley (West Auckland), which

became the family homestead and winery. A year later, Josip planted his

first vineyard on a terrace above the Kaikino Swamp gum field. Aged 20, in

1916 he made his first wine, under the name Babich Brothers. He quickly

gained respect by having the desire to produce only the best quality wine,

creating solid foundations for the company. Today, three generations of

the family are committed to honouring his legacy.

Notes...Aromas of lime and stone fruit with a touch of Granny Smith apple and floral citrus notes. Fleshy and rich with a nervy drive, through

to the botrytis bite on the dry finish. Lime, lemon and floral orange notes. Rich, complex and concentrated.

Matured in new French oak barrels for 8 months.

The geeky stuff...In 1875, the first of the Valduga family arrived in Brazil, from the city

of Rovereto, in northern Italy. They cultivated the first grapevines in

the heart of what is today Vale dos Vinhedos, giving root to the legacy

of one of Brazil’s most renowned winemakers. The third generation of

the family is in charge today.

R 214. Casa Grand Selection Carmenère

WINERY: Lapostolle

GRAPE VARIETY: Carmenère

REGION: Rapel Valley, Chile

£30.00

Notes...Intense, complex nose full of different aromas: white pepperand red fruit at the start, then prunes and black cherries with

some hints of sweet spices. Juicy on the palate, with soft

structure and balance; fresh fruit flavours on the finish.

the early 1990s, the Lapostolle winery has long been recognised

as one of Chile’s finest. Carmenère originated in Bordeaux, but it is

R 269. Quails’ Gate Pinot Noir

establish one of the valley’s most successful nurseries. The first vines

R258. Nebbiolo d’Alba Occhetti

WINERY: Prunotto

GRAPE VARIETY: Nebbiolo

REGION: Piemonte, Italy

£52.00

Notes...This single-vineyard Nebbiolo offers an elegant nose with hints of

raspberries and roses. On the palate, it is full and harmonious with a

long, positive finish.

Full and balanced witha luminous, garnet hue.

The geeky stuff...Alfredo Prunotto founded his business in 1922, and was one of

Piemonte’s most dynamic exporters until his retirement in 1956.

The company passed then to Prunotto’s friend Beppe Colla, now a

revered winemaker and one of the founding fathers of modern

Piemonte. His defining moment was the decision in 1961 to bottle

single-vineyard, or cru, wines from the finest sites—a practice that

is now the norm in the region. The Marchesi Antinori family first

began its collaboration with the Prunotto Company, at first handling

distribution, in 1989, and later, in 1994, when the Beppe retired,

became directly involved in the production.

R270. Refosco Ronco Dei Moreri

WINERY: Marco Felluga

GRAPE VARIETY: Refosco

REGION: Collio Goriziano,Friuli, Italy

£51.00

Notes...This ancient local variety produces a lively, aromatic wine with

raspberry and bramble notes, a bright, refreshing palate alongside

good depth and body, and a long crisp finish.

Aged exclusively in French oak barrels for 10 months beforebeing racked and blended.

The geeky stuff...This Refosco comes from a particular vineyard which is surrounded

by mulberry bushes (moreri). The hilly terrain is composed of layers

of sandstone and loam rock (limestone and clay) that once formed

the ocean floor. It was in the region of Collio Goriziano that low-

temperature winemaking techniques were introduced in the 1960s,

and the fresh, delicately aromatic style of these wines became the

new blueprint for the whole area.
