Grant founded VALLI in 1998 with the intention to produce single vineyard Pinot Noirs highlighting the different characteristics of Otago’s sub regions. More than 20 years later, VALLI is doing just that, producing single-vineyard pinot noirs from Gibbston, Bannockburn, and Bendigo in Central Otago and the Waitaki Valley in North Otago, as well as a dry Pinot Gris from Gibbston and a Riesling from Waitaki. In 2015, established Otago winemaker Jen Parr joined Grant in the winery where the two aim to create wines with honesty, integrity, and most of all, a sense of place.

The vineyard and winery were established by the Smith family in 1986. They chose the site after a lengthy search for an ideal combination of climate, soil and aspect to be able to create great wine. Sloping North to North East the vineyard rolls from 820m above sea level down to 775m at its lowest point with rich soil and excellent air drainage. It is planted with mainly Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe part of the mountain on which they are situated is the remnants of an extinct volcanic complex which erupted in several phases between 11-13 million years ago, making it a relatively recent geological feature. The basalt rock that was created by the lava flows has broken up over millions of years, forming the deep rich red soils that are excellent for grape growing and wine production. This has allowed the 38 year old vines to grow unirrigated as they can send tap roots down deep into the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe blocks have varying composition, the top Chardonnay coming from the deepest red soil and the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc coming from the stoniest part to the vineyard where shards of basalt and small amounts of fine quartz fragments can be found nearer the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThere is a gradual change across the vineyard slope creating unique pockets of terroir. They keep the parcels separate during fermentation to tease out and discover the expression and diversity of soil within the site. Utilizing wild ferments and intervening as little as possible, the grapes are allowed to fully express themselves as they transmute into wine. The intention for each vintage is to create wines of power and grace that seek to impress on the grounds of their elegant composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Canobolas Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51045060149432,"sku":"60149432","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/DA35DA90-ADEF-4AB7-9339-117AB26A08C6.jpg?v=1744253947"},{"product_id":"delinquente-hell-macerato-2024","title":"Delinquente Hell Macerato 2024","description":"\u003ch4\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDelinquente's 'Hell' series represents experimental wines that challenge conventions.

Charly Foucault, who was responsible for both the vineyard work and the wine-making, passed away in late December 2015 and following a long and difficult process the domaine is now owned by one of France’s wealthiest families, the Bouygues. The Bouygues family own several food and wine related interests including Château Montrose in St Estephe and Château Tronquoy Lalande in Bordeaux and other wine properties in Burgundy with the acquisition of 51% of the bio-dynamically farmed Henri Rebourseau domaine based in Gevrey Chambertin, not to mention a truffle farm Chinon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eTo say that this property has become a cult estate is an understatement with sommeliers and restaurants the world over clambering to buy the wines or visit the estate, an almost impossible task to arrange even for us as the importers. The Foucault family had been quietly producing tiny quantities of wines from the same small plots of vines in Saumur and Saumur Champigny that the family owned and farmed for generations, with the notable exception of the purchase in 1993 of 1 hectare of very old vines in Brézé. Perhaps it was the addition of this tiny plot of ancient vines on the east facing slope of this historically great terroir of Brézé that has bought the worlds attention to this estate, such is the beauty and rarity of this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFarming organically without the use of modern fertilisers and systemic chemicals and replanting with massale selection of vines and giving the wines very long ageing in barrels and then also in bottle before releasing each new vintage ensured that the wines would show their best upon release. Not only was it this ‘slow wine’ method of production that had appeal, but very simply these wines are among the greatest to be found in France. These are wines of rare breed and texture and complexity for the white Brézé (which, with age, is often compared to great white Burgundies) and also for the small 1 ha patch of very old Cabernet Franc vines located in Chacé that makes the iconic ‘Le Bourg’ red. Just 4000 bottles are produced of each of these 2 wines in a good year - and the demand from wine lovers around the world is enormous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eHowever Charly was not the only person doing all the work in the vineyards and cellars, indeed the cellar-master now is the same person who had been working with Charly for more than 10 vintages already and the current vineyard manager had also clocked up more than 15 vintages working alongside Charly. So having visited the estate in November 2018 and tasting through the barrels of the 2018 + 2017 vintages and then the 3 vintages not yet released being 2015, 2014 + 2013 (2016 had just been moved to tank in preparation for bottling and so was not available to taste) it was clear that nothing had notably changed either in the cellars or in the wine-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe cellars remain the same, the exact type of oak for each cuvee remained the same, the 2014 + 2015 vintages lay resting in bottles deep underground in these very cool damp cellars waiting for release and the 2017 + 2018 vintages in barrel remain stylistically identical to the earlier vintages although these younger vintages shocked me with just how well they were showing at this early stage. If anything the 2017 + 2018 vintages appear to even more impressive, which is perhaps not surprising as there is little doubt that the wines at this estate have progressed and gained in clarity and depth in the last 2 decades. So the progress continues under new ownership who are fully committed to bio-dynamic viticulture not only at this estate but also at their other wine estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eIn April 2019 I drove through the hillside of Brézé with Arnaud Lambert stopping beside the extremely old Chenin blanc vines of Clos Rougeard, Arnaud owns a plot beside these large 100+ year old vines, and what was notable was that the missing dead vines had now been replanted and those few rows owned by Clos Rougeard appeared absolutely immaculate. So yes there has been small change with replacing dead vines and no doubt other small details will be attended to all in the same spirit and care as before by the new owners who certainly do not lack the means to ensure that this iconic estate remains at the every top, not only of Saumur, but also among the greatest estates in the Loire and indeed all of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe leading cuvée of Saumur-Champigny produced here is \u003cstrong\u003eLe Bourg\u003c\/strong\u003e, which comes from a 1 hectare plot of mostly 75 to 95 year-old Cabernet Franc vines planted on soils comprised of a thin layer of clay over limestone sub-soil. After the frost of 1991 a proportion of the vineyard needed replanting so there are also some younger vines which were replanted then. These are the vines that lie directly behind the courtyard and its anonymous gateway in the village of Chacé. There is also\u003cstrong\u003e Les Poyeux\u003c\/strong\u003e, from a more distant 2.9 ha plot of 40-70+ year-old vines on more sandy soils, and finally for the reds there is the domaine \u003cstrong\u003eSaumur-Champigny\u003c\/strong\u003e which on the wine cartons says \u003cem\u003eClos\u003c\/em\u003e but is not labelled as \u003cem\u003eClos\u003c\/em\u003e. This is produced from a blend of ten other plots of vines totalling about 4.5 ha covering 3 communes of Chacé, Varrains and Dampierre-sur-Loire.

This wine is simply in a class of its own, a wine of rare dimension. Less well known is that there are also some chenin blanc vines in Les Poyeux and it is these vines that have produced the very occassional and very rare Coteaux de Saumur sweet white - most recently in 1989, 1990 + 1995 while the 1921 is recalled by a privileged few to remain amongst the greatest wines they have ever tasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Brézé is on the rise, today producing some of the most arrestingly mineral, intense Chenin Blanc on the planet.

The reds come from Clos de L’Etoile and Clos Mazurique. While differences in each vineyard lead to wines of distinctive character, Lambert’s style arcs toward grace.

There is no fining and no filtration, minimal use of sulphur, and the wine is bottled after 18-24 months in oak so that after 2 winters of ageing in barrel the wines are very stable.

When both the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations finish, he assembles his wines without fining and filtration, or additions of SO2 when possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frederic Cossard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51640354078904,"sku":"54078904","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/5C159F17-8D37-464E-991F-0A5615E90E49.jpg?v=1754709911"},{"product_id":"apsley-gorge-chardonnay-2024","title":"Apsley Gorge Chardonnay 2024","description":"\u003ch4\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom just 1 hectare of fully mature vines, the 2024 yield was only 4 barrels, producing around 100 dozen bottles. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 is marked by remarkable freshness, depth and intensity.

This wine originates from the commune of Curtil-Vergy, situated at an elevation of 350 meters. The vineyard benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influences, boasting an eastern exposure. The soil composition consists of limestone marls, enriched with a significant proportion of white clays. The Aligoté vines, aged 40 years, are meticulously tended using the Guyot pruning method. Harvesting involves manual selection directly at the vineyard, ensuring only the finest grapes are chosen. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur in barrels without stirring. Aging proceeds for 15 months, with 10% in new barrels and 10% in clay vessels, followed by light fining and filtration. With an annual production of 2,250 bottles and an average of 3,500 bottles, \"Les Lares\" Aligoté presents a full-bodied palate with citrus and white fruit aromas.
