Combes White Lies Beneath Chardonnay 2021

Tucked away in the pristine slopes of Friuli, Saša Radikon is continuing the work of his father, creating wines that have gained a loyal and committed following. From its experimental beginnings in 1995, Radikon is now one of the most influential producers of the natural wine movement, and their wines absolutely set the benchmark for how complex and compelling orange wine can be. These wines are wild, untamed and not for the faint of heart. Pinot Grigio grapes were destemmed and spent 10-14 days on skins (compared to three months for the 500ml wines) for a less intense iteration of orange wine, and a great introduction to the Radikon range. Aged in Slavonian oak for a year and a half on lees, and bottled without filtration.

Radikon Oslavje 2017

Chardonnay & Sauvignon Vert (f.k.a Tocai Friulano) come together in this electric wine, held on skins for 10 days, and worked several times a day in true Radikon style, with plenty of oxygen introduced early on. Aged for 15 months and rested for a further 6 months in the bottle before release, it's a compelling wine and not for the faint of heart.

Radikon Slatnik 2020

Allevare Amphora Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Made from only six rows of Savagnin in the Yarra Valley's Rising Vineyard, which was planted as a trial in 2000 under the false assumption that they were Albariño cuttings. It's textural and concentrated, with varietal pineapple and stonefruit notes leading into a little oxidative salinity and a hint of lime leaf.

Arfion Kenzie Savagnin 2019

Brachetto is the star of the show in this funky lil' Pét Nat from the Adelaide Hills. With juicy fruit characters of cantaloupe, orange blossom, and pink grapefruit we wouldn't blame you for guzzling the whole bottle in one go!

Architects of Wine Pèt-Nat Rosato 2021

Expect the quintessential Jura funk, meadow notes, and electric acidity. With fruit from old vines in dry scree soils, this has plenty of minerality, oxidative influence and some saline tang!

Domaine des Notes Bleues Ascenseur pour les Chardos 2020

A deeper and dense nose of lemon drops, honeysuckle, apricot nectar, ginger and touches of bees wax. In the mouth, it’s very clean, silky and calm and flows with melon, boiled lemon, ripe peach and nectarine, coloured with vanilla and some saltiness.

Domaine des Notes Bleues Les Nouvelles 2020

This is all yellow apple and orchard fruits, finishing with tart green apple and a drizzling of honey blossom. An oxidative edge gives this a richness of texture, and a dry, savoury finish makes this lil number suuuper slurpable.

Jauma Blewitt Springs Chenin Blanc 2021

Step into the Palomino universe and enjoy. Fresh, elegant and with a distinct saline character. Made with fruit from the lower part of their best plot "La Platera", its salinity and purity are clearly represented, due to fermentation in old champenoise tanks.

Muchada-Léclapart Univers Palomino 2019

From their best plot "La Platera" comes this pure expression with floral aromatics and notes of gunpowder that are typical of a large "Pago" (or single vineyard for our non-Spanish speak pals). Often reserved for sherry, it's the star of the show here with fruit from 60 year old vines and time in Bordeaux barrels. Lovers of Jura may want to consider crossing borders as past vintages have been likened to a Ganevat. This bottle is a perfect illumination of the Palamino grape—balanced, salty, elegant.

Muchada-Léclapart Lumière Palomino 2019

Saline and oxidative Aligoté from avante-guarde couple, Isabelle and Jean-Yves Vantey, who farm six hectares of biodynamic vineyards in Maranges, Santenay and the Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune. Green melon, pithy citrus, and dried hay, with a subtle pop of volatile acidity and a nutty, oxidative savouriness on the finish.
