BIANCO is an ode to our favourite whites for the season. Whether you prefer them lean, clean and mineral, textured and perfumed, or savoury and spiced, we hope to shine a light on the breadth of diversity to be found from these varieties.
LA PETITE SOEUR
Globule Blanc 2021
Loire, France
Chenin Blanc from a forty five year old parcel planted over schist in Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné. Pressed directly to cuve for a year of élevage, this cool, wet vintage has rendered a vibrant, hazy wine which pairs pithy citrus and smoky minerals to beautiful effect.

Mariage Plus Vieux 2023
Alsace, France
Mostly Sylvaner from eighty year old vines, with a touch of Gewürztraminer from forty year old vines, planted over limestone in Obernai. The former is pressed directly and the latter is destemmed and left to infuse in the fermenting Sylvaner for nine months in vats. Pale, with gold reflections, it offers delicate notes of minerals, citrus and spice and a long, salty finish, making for the best iteration of this cuvée we have tried.

MONTEFORCHE
Cassiara 2023
Veneto, Italy
Moscato Bianco and Garganega from two parcels of vines of around forty years of age. The fruit was destemmed and macerated for a day before being pressed to concrete vats until the following spring. This is fresh and floral, open and inviting. An easygoing, delicious wine, which works beautifully as an aperitivo.
