Description
The Sorine estate is owned and run by the heirs of one of the oldest families in Santenay. The family estate was rebuilt in 1946 by Jean Sorine and was then taken over by his son Christian in 1990. Today Christian is joined by his wife Emma in the vineyards and winery. With limited vineyards available in Santenay the estate has grown and now also includes some Maranges.
Whole bunches are brought to the cellar after harvesting. Juice is extracted by pneumatic press followexd by a 36 hour ‘debourbage’ to allow the grape solids to be seperated from the must. The wine is then fermented in barrel undergoing bi-monthly ‘battonage’ for a period of 3 months. Aged in oak barrel for 12 months. Light filtration, no fining and bottled on the estate.

2019 Malvasia, Clos De Lom, DO Valencia
Malvasia
The Clos de Lom Malvasia is a delicious, hand-harvested white from Valencia showing an intense nose of ripe fruits such as red apple, peach and lychee with a floral background of orange blossom. The well-structured palate shows ripe fruits and plenty of freshness. The finely balanced acidity carries through to the long, satisfying finish.

2023 The Tin Mine White, Zevenwacht, Stellenbosch
Chenin Blanc
The Zevenwacht Tin Mine White is a stunning blend of Chenin, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Viognier and Semillon, coming from vineyards planted on decomposed granite soils which lie between 200 and 350m above sea level. Ageing in 500 litre French oak barrels helps add to the wonderful texture without detracting from the impeccably integrated exotic, spicey fruit and lively yet balanced acidity.

2022 Vouvray Cuvee Silex, Domaine des Aubuisieres, AC Vouvray
Chenin Blanc
Produced from several vineyards with Silex (flint) soils, this delicious Vouvray is pale yellow with a very reserved nose. The palate is dominated by minerals, with citrus, apple and lemon peel fruit. Floral aromas balance out the minerality with some lovely balanced acidity coming through on the finish.

2019 Bordeaux Blanc Sec, Chateau Saransot-Dupre
Semillon/Sauvignon
Chateau Saransot-Dupre is a favourably sited 17 hectares property that lies between Fourcas Dupré and Fourcas Hosten in Listrac. Due to Listrac’s cooler temperatures, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are favoured over Cabernet Sauvignon to form the majority of the blend, helping them achieve optimum ripeness. Much like Chateau Fourcas Hosten, the wines have improved year on year since 2010 and the property were put on the radar thanks to a certain Robert Parker hailing the 2010 vintage as 'classed growth quality'. High praise indeed!
