From the region renowned for producing regal whites, this Chardonnay impresses. A nose balancing poised fruit and crisp minerality unfolds into classic Chardonnay flavors of toasted oak, spice and creamy fruit. The texture is mouthfilling but not overly buttery. A very good choice for an elegant table.

From a region renowned for its dessert wine comes this easy-to-love white. Despite a lightness to the medium body, this wine has plenty of guts, evident in the liquid gooseberry mouth mixed with lime and dusted with chalk. The flavor of the wine carries through to the long finish, while aromas of pure gooseberry dance in the glass. Drink now, and enjoy.

This is a rich and toasty Chard with notes of wood-grilled peaches, soft Cortland apple flesh and vanilla cream. The finish is long and the mouth round without being flabby or overdone.

This is a Sauvignon Blanc with more meat and punch than the average white. The nose, crisp, clean and fresh but rounded, leads into a balanced, substantial wine with good acidity and an assertive mouthfeel. Elegant but has character. Could pair with richer dishes.

A full, rounded nose of honeyed spice and citrus gives this wine a sexy vibe from the start, and on the palate, curvy floral notes mingle perfectly with minerals and lively acid. Clean but complex, it’s an intriguing white to pair with myriad dishes—think Thai or Indian.

With 7,000 cases imported, you should be able to find this stellar Sauv Blanc fairly easily. Aromas of sweet grass, gooseberry and pineapple acidity draw you in immediately, while flavors of ripe stone fruit carry through to the clean but not aggressive finish. Lightweight and linear but not meaningless, with a hint of peach pit nuttiness lingering on the close.

This wine starts with a combination of white flowers, spice, tropical fruit and green notes, with dry, crisp flavors of citrus and mineral on the palate. A good wine for fans of more angular whites, the wine will pair well with spicy Asian cuisine, grilled spicy fish or chicken.
