Highly praised by the International Wine Press, this is a medium bodied wine, with a wonderful complexity of herbaceous and dark fruit notes, firm tannins and a fresh acidity.

Classically styled, their Chablis 2022 has great intensity and energy, with its ample fruit kept in check by the clean, balancing acidity.

Sylvain Mosnier took full advantage of the opportunity afforded to them and produced a range of stylish, traditional wines.

It is made from five different parcels of vines, defined according to the soil profile: deep clay loam, silt loam, rocky loam, sandy loam and boulder loam. Each parcel is vinified separately in 'concrete eggs' before the final blend is created. The vineyard is at an altitude of 1,050 meters, ensuring good levels of acidity, vital in the production for high quality malbe

90 Points - James Suckling. Malvid, an up-and-coming brand, found itself at a crossroads in 2020. The pandemic and dwindling demand from wineries compelled it to shift its focus from cultivation to crafting its own wine. Already receiving multiple awards for its wines, Malvid's Verdejo exhibits great intensity on the nose, with aromas of tropical fruits and citrus notes perfectly combined with herbal undertones. It is structured and balanced on the palate, offering a fresh and long fruity finish

92 Points - Decanter. From a special vineyard site on the hillside above the Chablis Grand Crus of Les Clos & Valmur, this location is cooler than its famous neighbours lower down the slope. However, it experiences exceptional drainage and exposure to sunlight, making it one of the very finest Petit Chablis locations. The wine is bright white-gold in colour, with an expressive apple and citrus zest aroma. In the mouth, it is bone-dry and super crisp, featuring racy acidity, green apple, and

"Francesco Montresor left a legal profession to take over the family estate, converting it from mixed agriculture to viticulture. The property, one of the oldest in Lugana, has 95ha in various plots in the Veronese part of the DOC, including vineyards directly overlooking Lake Garda. Creete is a toothsome late-picked, single-vineyard selection with a hint of tropical fruits and candied peel on the nose then a rich palate sustained by succulent acidity and a long, dry finish." Le Creete has aroma

Grown at the base of the Christmas Hills on the western of Yarra Glen, the Homestead vineyard has an expansive easterly exposure with a degree of protection from the westerly heat and hot northerly winds. This little subregion grows wine with the full and rich expression of the Yarra Valley floor with a restraint that the more exposed hillsides don’t afford.
