Priest Ranch 2016
Full bodied, dry and aromatic – this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a white Rhone grape that is often blended, but in the hands of Craig Becker at Priest Ranch, this ripe and full white offers orange blossom, spiced pear, notes of butter and citrus and a lovely floral character. The nose seems stylish and grows in the glass. The palate is very full, with a razor sharp citrus and great minerality, reminding us of top end white Burgundy, albeit with the character of wet stones that is reminiscent of a great white Chateauneuf. Will keep 5 years +.

Orin Swift Blank Stare 2018
A glowing pale straw with a striking touch of chartreuse sits in the glass. Aromatically, the wine pops with lime zest, gooseberries, ripe passionfruit, fresh cut grass and lemon bars. On the entry, the acidity acts like a belt, constraining the voluptuousness; similar taste profiles to the nose plus crispy green apples and the faintest hint of fresh sage abound. The finish is reminiscent of ripe kiwi and limoncello, teetering on a beam of lingering acidity.
