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.
DOMAINE SAUVETERRE
Perrières Les Vieilles 2021
Burgundy, France
Chardonnay from a small parcel of hundred year old vines planted over pure limestone. This was given a long, slow and gentle press before a year of élevage in old barriques. A gorgeous shade of gold in the glass, this cooler vintage has produced a pure, vibrant vin de garde that is already drinking beautifully but will reward drinkers for many years to come.

BARRACO
Bianco G 2022
Sicily, Italy
From an isolated plot of fifty year old bush vines of Grillo handed down to Nino by his father. These are planted over red sand and terra rossa, just a kilometre from the sea. This spent twenty four hours on the skins before ten months of élevage in a combination of old casks and concrete vats. A vivid yellow, this really shows the pedigree of the site and is compact and elegant with delicate notes of minerals and brine leading to a long, salty finish.

LA PETITE SOEUR
Globule Blanc 2022
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 warmer vintage has rendered a plush, perfumed wine that pairs ripe stone fruits, smoke and anise to beautiful effect.
