Château Mercian Koshu Gris de Gris, Fuefuki District


Vintage: 2020
Region: Fuefuki, Japan

BBD$199.00

Faint reddish orange hue. Sweet and gentle aromas of apricot, candied pear, Darjeeling and old Rose with subtle vanilla notes derived from 8 months in oak barrels. The complex palate from the skins and seeds of the Koshu grape come from gentle skin contact, this creates a three-dimensional feeling in the mouth. Have a sumptuous experience when pairing this wine with Asian dishes, asparagus risotto or with fresh halibut, tilapia, and cod. An exceptional expression of Japanese culture, let alone Japanese wine.

Available at Spring Garden and Six Roads

Cupcake Vineyards Riesling


Vintage: 2022
Region: California, USA

BBD$32.00 BBD$40.00

Our Riesling is a zesty, fruit-forward wine from vineyards in Germany’s Pfalz region. Germany’s sun-filled days provide a warm yet mild climate that let the grapes slowly and fully ripen for this delicious Riesling. The sandy soils of this region contribute to the elegance of the wine while the heavier clay soils add some spicy depth to the character. Careful, cool fermentation followed by extended time sur lie balances the bright acidity and profound sweetness. Delightful flavours of lemon, peach, and ripe honeydew lead to a creamy mouthfeel. Enjoy with bacon-wrapped figs, goat cheese and pear pizza, or with hot, spicy foods..

Available at Rockley and Warrens

Babich Single Vineyard Marlborough Riesling


Vintage: 2022
Region: Malborough, New Zealand

BBD$39.60 BBD$49.50

Pretty florals with mandarin, lime and apple aromas along with a touch of honey and slate also. Smooth and juicy entry - flavours of apple and mandarin tie in with the nose. The finish introduces further complexity with tarragon and chervil, a little dried apricot and lingering minerality. An excellent partner to a wide range of foods, ideal with Asian dishes.

Available at Spring Garden, Rockely, Warrens, Wildey and Six Roads
