Latest Releases
Details:
Producer: Le Bois Dieu
Vintage: 2023
Variety: Gamay
Country: France
Region: Brionnais, Auvergne
Terroir: Sandstone
Farming: Organic
Fining/Filtration: None
Added SO2: None
ABV: 13.5%
Description:
Le Bois Dieu was established by Salma Cassam Chenaï and Frédéric Thiry who in 2015 moved to the commune of Semur-en-Brionnais, an hour west of Macon on the eastern side of the Loire River, to restore an old agricultural estate and work with its plots of old gamay vines.
In addition to making wines from their own vineyard, Salma and Frédéric also make wine from fruit bought from other friends in the area, and from elsewhere in France. This wine comes from gamay grown in Payzac, in the Ardèche, by Jocelyn Vigoroux, and was raised semi-carbonically in a mixture of steel tank and sandstone jars.
Compact and concentrated with generous and spicy dark red fruit, velvety tannin and relaxed albeit balanced acidity, this is a delicious and approachably fruity style which shares in much in common with many of our favourite grenache blends from the Rhone, Ardèche and other warmer regions in France’s south.

Producer: Clo
Vintage: 2022
Variety: Chardonnay
Country: Australia
Region: New South Wales
Terroir: Basalt
Farming: Organic
Fining/Filtration: None
Added SO2: None
ABV: 12.5%
Description:
Clo is the project of Chris Loth, longtime member of the team at Annandale Cellars in Sydney and now a very talented winemaker, with the establishment of his Clo project in 2013 coupled with stints in France with such wonderful producers as Jean Foillard and François Rousset-Martin.
This comes from the high-elevation vineyard of Gordon Hill in Orange, NSW. The grapes were hand-picked and basket-pressed to old barrels for fermentation on full solids, and later left untopped for 12 months to develop oxidative characteristics under flor. The final wine is medium-weighted and fresh with stone fruit primary flavours underscored by layers of secondary and tertiary nuance, abundant in saline and nutty characters which lend savoury intensity.
Another brilliant offering from an exciting producer who has recently been going from strength to strength. Cheers Chris!

Producer: The Other Right
Vintage: 2025
Variety: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Country: Australia
Region: Adelaide Hills
Terroir: Clay
Farming: Certified Organic (In-Conversion)
Fining/Filtration: None
Added SO2: None
ABV: 11%
Description:
From Adelaide Hills winemaker and wine scientist Alex Schulkin, this pet nat comes from Certified Organic (in-conversion) pinot noir and chardonnay grown by Brendan Cameron at the Lansdowne Vineyard. The juice was direct-pressed and fermented in steel tank, bottled, and eventually disgorged after 3 months on lees before seeing a further 6 months of bottle ageing prior to release.
Dry, racy, youthful and energetic, this lives up to its name with candied banana and sherbert aromatics and a light-on-its-feet, vivacious and direct palate which makes the wine very well suited to drinking as an aperitif.

Producer: Babass
Vintage: 2023
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Country: France
Region: Loire Valley
Terroir: Schist
Farming: Organic
Fining/Filtration: None
Added SO2: None
ABV: 11%
Description
Delicate yet quietly powerful chenin from the inimitable Anjou vigneron Sebastien Derviux, known for his Domaine des Griottes founded alongside Pat Desplats and, of course, his own project Babass.
Variety and region are both pure and compelling here, with the wine having seen just enough oxygen to retain some golden primary fruit but gain a nicely crystalline texture and a vivid notion of rocky soil.
This is tasting wonderful now and will continue to gain harmony and depth for some years to come.
