Producer – La Grapperie

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 Grapperie
Aphrodite 2019

Dazzling Chenin Blanc from vines approaching a staggering 100 years old. Vines of this age produce tiny yields, but the fruit is of the highest quality. The flesh of the fruit is generous and the acidity is on-point and lingering. Just delicious! Find out more.

La Grapperie
Désirée 2017 MAGNUM

Extra-special large format Chenin from the Grapperie cellars. We were lucky to get our hands on a few magnums that have been slowly developing since the 2017 vintage. Like all of our favourite examples of this grape it shows a pitch-perfect balance of fleshy fruit and tightly-wound acidity. A bit of a stunner. Find out more.
