Grape – Ugni Blanc

Natural white wine can take on many forms; from bone-dry, pale in colour and decidedly classical, all the way through to wines with a much deeper, golden hue and notable substance. Hazy, vinous, and textured, with a plump succulence that coats the palate. We hope that our wide-ranging selection will throw up some new discoveries and maybe even take you out of your comfort zone to pastures new.

From traditional direct-press to wines that are allowed to mingle on the skins for just a short time, lending deeper, complex tones; whether you live to worship white Burgundy or seek out the most rugged, off-the-radar bottles from remote Italian or Spanish backwaters, you’ll find much to explore here.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Q Blanc 2021

La Vrille's entry white, made from younger vines of Ugni Blanc, that lesser-sung French sibling of Trebbiano. Much the same as that Italian grape, it offers yellow fruits with something a little saline and mineral. There is also a lovely oily citrus quality and the softness of ripe pears that ensures a bottle of this wine doesn't hang around for long. Find out more.

Joseph Jefferies
La Pierre de Sisyphe 2021

Another great vintage for a remarkable Southern French white; fresh and saline with beautiful stone fruit, minerals and a fleshy texture. This year the Terret & Ugni Blanc was all direct-pressed and aged in fiberglass tanks. The basalt soils here are key - they impart a tension and purity which makes this such a memorable wine.
