Description
❄️ Winter Whites
For richer dishes, long-table lunches, and that golden hour before dinner.
These whites bring texture, elegance, and enough winter weight to shine beside hearty food.
Prophet’s Rock Dry Riesling 2019 — Central Otago, New Zealand
A critic-darling from steep, schist-carved vineyards in Bendigo.
Bone dry, citrus pith + stone fruit, with a hint of honey and wax from gentle bottle age.
Precision meets pleasure — this is sommelier catnip. Stunning with seafood.
Clos de Nouys Vouvray Sec — Loire Valley, France
Chenin from 100-year-old vines in one of Vouvray’s most historic estates (founded 1907).
Dry, elegant and mineral-led, with crisp apple, quince and a chalky, aristocratic backbone. Pitch-perfect for festive ham, turkey glazes or anything creamy.
Neudorf ‘Tiritiri’ Pinot Gris — Nelson, New Zealand
A proper textural winter white: pear, gentle spice and silken lees richness. Wild yeast and slow ageing give depth without heaviness. The go-to for roast pork, pumpkin and hazelnut dishes.
Lafage ‘Nicolas’ Grenache Blanc — Roussillon, France
Old vines, warm Mediterranean breezes, and a whisper of white flowers + peach and a kiss of oak. Soft and food-loving with a long almondy finish. For the friend who swears they “only drink red” — until this.
✨ The vibe: Whites that hold their own next to gravy boats, candlelight and the good plates.
