It is not commonplace or by any means possible to make truly natural wines at scale, and at Winona we source wines from smaller producers whose quest for quality means smaller production, in order to honour the site and the purity of the fruit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTruly natural wines occupy under 3% of total wine production, globally. Though this number is increasing as we see more people turn to the Earth, it’s a slow, slow game. What is a natural wine? Well, natural wines are made in the vineyard. They are the product of tireless viticulture in the pursuit of sustainability. Fruit is handpicked, often pressed without the aid of machinery, and no chemicals are added. They are a reflection of the year that was, as nature intended. So if there was a bushfire, a frost, an influx of hungry birds...so it goes. Small production, meticulous production, sometimes one-offs. In this way, it’s important to appreciate the wines you buy from Winona as a moment in time, something that exists for that moment, made with integrity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThat being said, there are some that are more rare than others. As the wines reflect site, the maker, the ethos, they are impossible to recreate. Some winemakers have been figureheads for the pursuit of sustainability, for their specific styles of winemaking, their fortune to have a particular site or a particular grape. Ribolla from Gravner. Nerello Mascalese from Frank Cornellisen. Riesling from Gut Oggau. Macabeo from Matassa. Chardonnay from Ganevat...the list goes on. So, sometimes it’s a bit of a scramble to get that wine you heard about on the grapevine (or the Instavine)…you have to move fast! At Winona we secure allocations of some of the rarest natural wines on the market to get into your hot little hands, so if you’re into tasting “what it’s all about”, you will find something that will stay with you forever here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlongside ‘rare’, enter large format. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEver heard the saying bigger is better?

Sometimes it’s a mere practicality. Getting two bottles? Save yourself the trouble, and the glass – buy a magnum! One glass a night over the course of a week? Magnum. Need a vase? Get yourself a Jeroboam. Wedding party? A Salamanzaar will do nicely. You may have also noticed that the size of the bottles also has a neat name to boot. Does the fun ever stop? Do you need a magnum of Susucaru? We think so. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eQuantity aside, there are some interesting facts about large format that the budding vinophile would be remiss to not have in their knowledge vault, read: brain. Large format bottles tend to age better – the surface area between the cork and the liquid is smaller, so less air can permeate, meaning they may take longer to age (about half the rate of a 750ml), but with a deeper, more complex, gentle effect. The glass is thicker too, meaning less light and heat can permeate, so if you don’t have a dark, cool cellar, your kitchen can be just as good! It is also because of this gentle ageing that the producers tend to put their best barrels or best wines into large format, so you can have quality assurance right there. As this is the case, they can also be rare...so if you’re a collector, flashes of BIG mean BIG collector’s item. In the world of natural wine and smaller production levels, there’s often not many magnums made. They can also be a sign of a special release. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBut wait, there’s more. They can also be a bargain. Smaller producers sometimes pop their most smashable wines in these larger vessels in order to max out enjoyment and value. Sometimes you need 1.5L of rosato to park yourself on the balcony with. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAside from this, they provide extreme aesthetic value.

Previously a powerful wine region with 20,000 hectares planted on the complex slopes of the mountain, it had been drastically reduced to 3,000 hectares. Most of the vineyards were removed and replanted on flat ground, where it is easier for machine use but unfortunately compromised the grape quality. The Coteau de Cevins was replanted in 1998 with the original, high quality vines of Persan and Mondeuse noire (red) as well as Altesse, Roussanne, Mondeuse blanche, Malvoisie and Jacquère (white). The slope reaches 60% of inclination, and the vines are planted on terraces of very old, complex mica-schists, loam and sand. With 8,000 vines planted per hectare and 25 hectolitres per hectare produced, it is the Grand Cru hill of Savoie! Out of this magnificent hill, three wines are produced, Quartz, Schiste and Améthyste. The first real crop was harvested in 2002, then in 2005, Brice Omont was appointed wine grower and director of Domaine des Ardoisières, continuing the work Michel Grisard had begun. In addition to the Coteau de Cevins, Brice Omont rented a vineyard on the Coteau de St Pierre de Soucy in 2008 in order to produce wines from clay and limestone soils and schist. The two Cuvée ARGILE white and Red were born. Then in order to expand, in 2015 Brice Omont began renting another vineyard of high quality Jacquère to produce SILICE, a highly addictive cuvée of white wine. The bouquet has a richness that jumps out at you with concentrated red and black fruits, red peppers and delicate liquorice notes. The palate is voluptuous and structured, with intense red bramble fruit, black wild berries that bring a zesty acidity, and finishes off with velvety, crunchy tannins.

When the harvest began on 7 September, in brilliant sunshine, the vines were impeccably healthy, revealing the exceptional generosity and balance of the grapes. This vintage aromatic wine promises a remarkable aromatic richness, capturing the unique essence of the year. Born of a year of exceptional contrasts, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 stands out with its soothing strength and striking tactile presence during tasting. Initially dark and enigmatic, this vintage wine reveals a texture that leaves an incomparable impression, offering a unique sensory experience. The structure of Dom Pérignon 2015 feels horizontal, broad and straight, reflecting the wine’s luminous austerity. Each mouthful covers the palate, making an impression with clear, clean flavours, drawn in straight lines rather than curves. This structured concept is Dom Pérignon’s authentic signature, in which the sense of touch becomes fundamental.

Overall, the summer saw temperatures below average. Just before harvesting the grapes from our high-altitude vineyards a week of healthy wind from the north contributed to drying vines and grapes, preparing them for picking. Harvest started on September 16th and lasted for 8 days with a careful selection of the best bunches. The 2018 Brunello was produced exclusively with an accurate selection of Sangiovese from those parcels identified in our proprietary vineyards. The 2018 Brunello has been vinified in casks with different sizes and materials (stainless steel, wood and concrete) and aged in medium and big Slavonian oak barrels. Considering the weather conditions of the year, it is not surprising if 2018 has given a fragrant and energetic Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino, so well refined and balanced to be defined as pixelated. As soon as you smell the wine you may feel the low presence of alcohol together with a variety of invigorating notes as dried herbs, violet, orange zest, forest berry, Morello cherry and crushed mint. The palate is delicious and succulent, dangerously easy to drink now, but also able to age beautifully, thanks to its bright acidity.

Spring of 2021 was typically wet and windy. September and October’s temperatures were milder than usual, delaying shoot growth and flowering dates. Sunny conditions in early-mid November produced a surge in vine growth and a rapid period of vine flowering. Conditions were warm throughout January and February, with the welcome arrival of the sea breeze a daily constant. There was a substantial showing of Marri blossom around the vineyard and on the capes, so local birds showed little interest in the ripening grapes. Harvest commenced on February 4 with Pinot Noir, followed by the harvest of all whites by March 15.  Hand harvested fruit was cooled and destemmed, before being held on skins and combined with components of whole bunch pressed parcels. The juice was settled for 12-36 hours, racked and inoculated with yeast. 100% of the juice was barrel fermented in new French oak barriques and the lees stirred regularly. After 11 months in barrels, the various components were blended, fined, stabilised and bottled. Concentrated and intense, the nose is surrounded by a fruit core of nashi pear, finger limes and Lisbon lemon. Delicate complex layers of nougat, brioche, chamomile, galangal, sesame praline and macadamia can be unearthed within. Heightened notes of wattle blossom, jasmine and lime flowers breathe energy and elevation. The palate is detailed and ethereal. Pear greets nectarine, white peach and lemon curd. Woven and harmonious, it unfolds to a graphite and mineral thread, with a touch of sherbet, aniseed and cardamom. Gentle textures open through the mid-palate with vibrant natural acidity, amidst a black tea, talc and chalk-like finish. - Leeuwin Estate, Winery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leeuwin Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987484438704,"sku":"25155","price":193.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/4216\/0430\/files\/Winona-Wine-Leeuwin-Estate-2022-Art-Series-Chardonnay-Leeuwin-Estate-Wine.png?v=1772455260"},{"product_id":"chateau-lafleur-2023-les-champs-libre","title":"Château Lafleur - 2023 Les Champs Libre","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Les Champs Libres 2023 Blanc is one of the white wines of the vintage.
