Sauvion Cardinal Richard 2023
Muscadet Sur Lie
(Melon de Bourgogne)
Western Loire Valley, France
Translucent with a diamond-grey hue, with expressive aromas of apricot, peach and a hint of mint. There is an excellent balance between richness, freshness, and bright acidity, with flavours of green plum, pineapple, and passionfruit. This is a classic accompaniment to shellfish, sushi, seafood platters, and goat’s cheese.

Wine 4
Domaine de Blayac
Minervois 2023
Grenache Noir, Syrah, Carignan
Languedoc-Roussillon Region, France
A ruby red hue.
The nose is fresh with red berries and Indian spices that make for a very approachable wine. A green note sits in the back, bringing a sense of liveliness.
Some maraschino cherries, fresh capsicum and a herbaceous touch adds a vibrant lift to the palate. A little softer, and a little lighter than is typical of this wine, making this an easy drinking and approachable vintage to enjoy.
