Not your average Sauvignon Blanc, this wine balances the intense fruits of many New Zealand wines with the restrained mineral acidity of the traditional French style. Sourced from the cool climate Aude Valley in the south of France, the wine retains its varietal character, acidity and freshness.
Rich and lifted with intense scents of fruit mingled with varietal aromas of gooseberries and passionfruit. The limestone soil has imparted floral nuances and a flint like “river stone” scent. The palate is fresh and pure with rich flavours balanced by delicate mineral acidity.

2010 was an outstanding vintage in Sicily. Following a cold and very wet winter, summer conditions were almost perfect - dry, sunny and moderately warm in temperature.
Very pale yellow in colour with light green highlights. The nose is delicate and fresh with floral highlights and hints of exotic fruit. The palate is fresh and pure with lovely lemon citrus fruit flavours and soft mineral acidity. Serve well chilled with fresh caught fish, calamari or even Japanese sushi.

From the unyielding plains of Castilla la Mancha comes this aromatic and textural white wine. The blend of Spanish native varietals Macabeo, Viura and Verdejo with just a dash of Sauvignon Blanc results in a uniquely Spanish wine.
Pale and fresh with a delicate green tint. The aromas are restrained but enticing with subtle stone fruit and citrus. The palate follows the theme with originally delicate mineral and stone flavours building to a textural mid palate that is mouth coating and persistent. Fine natural acidity provides length and finesse.

Pale and delicate of colour with a fresh and vibrant nose showcasing lifted aromas of lemon, white peach and cut pear overlaid with delicate floral highlights. The palate is wonderfully pure and crisp with flavours of apple, citrus and white flower carried by a shimmering mineral backbone. The finish is long, dry and beautifully crisp – the perfect partner for delicate seafood.

"Very pale in colour with pristine clarity and a fine bead. The nose is delicate and fresh with fruit driven floral aromas and bready complexity. The palate is likewise pure and crisp with chardonnay-inspired apple and citrus flavours followed by a long mineral finish. A refreshing and high quality aperitif style."
Madame Coco is made exclusively from white wine grapes. Chardonnay is over 80% of the blend and gives a core of pristine fruit, length and depth of flavour. Smaller amounts of Chenin Blanc and the indigenous Mauzac provide elegance and mineral acidity.

Maitre Renard is Bernard Schurr’s introduction to Burgundy. The Maitre Renard Burgundy Chardonnay is modern and vibrant, with lemon acidity and only a hint of oak. Balance is key in this wine, which offers an affordable introduction to the region that was the birthplace of Chardonnay.
Delicate and “light on its feet” with fresh and pure stone fruit and citrus aromas. A burst of up - front white fruit flavours are supported by shimmering acidity and a long mineral backbone. Whilst this wine has the potential to develop with short term bottle maturation it is drinking beautifully now.

Sitting neatly between “Old World” (pale, dry and restrained) and “New World” (bright, fruit focussed and exuberant). The colour is pale pink, with crimson highlights when viewed across a full glass. A vibrant nose displays fruit drops, red berries and floral aromas of roses and lavender. A beautifully balanced palate combines rich fruit flavours and a round mouth-feel with soft acidity and freshness on a dry finish.

A bright brick red colour with crimson highlights. The palate is complex and alluring, combining dark berry fruit and blueberries with underbrush and hints of chocolate and toasted coffee. The palate is rich and fruit driven with Barbera’s vibrant berry flavours matched by the savoury tobacco leaf and fine tannins of Nebbiolo.
