Description

The Secateurs Chenin Blanc by AA Badenhorst wine is exceptional, showing complex yet fresh and mouth watering fruit flavours mingled with honey, stone fruits and orange blossom, with a long, softly textured finish.


This wine consistently provides exceptional value drinking from vintage to vintage.  Yields are very low, the fruit is organic and hand harvested over multiple passages through the vineyard, and fermentation is kickstarted by natural yeasts and extends over a long period.  A little bit of old oak is used to add to the texture.  Nearly all Chenin with a dash of Palomino, and perhaps another secret ingredient.


“A fabulous bargain. Over delivers in the most delightful way”. Jancis Robinson MW

    A beautiful wine from a biodynamic farm! I had mine perfectly chilled with a mushroom risotto!

    2021 Puligny Montrachet, Domaine Meunier

    Chardonnay

    The grapes for this approachable Puligny are hand harvested and undergo a gentle pressing.  The juice is then left to settle for a few days then put into French oak barrels, 30% of which are new. Indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation and the wine spends 12 months in barrel before being blended and bottled.  Great persistence in the mouth, this wine has a wonderful freshness to it and can be enjoyed in it's youth.

    Pinot Noir

    Fournillon have 23 hectares of vines in Chablis in the cool, north of burgundy and are predominantly producers of classic, steely Chablis (see our fantastic value 'house' Chablis), but they also produce some red and this delicious cremant from 100% Pinot Noir.  All fruit is hand-harvested and vinified carefully to produce an easy drinking, fruit-forward fizz that is well balanced and nicely rounded with a fine mousse.  Excellent as an apertif.
