About

100% Pecorino from the 25-year-old Gino vineyard at around 300 metres in Cossignano, farmed organically on clay, limestone and sandy soils. Hand-picked in mid-September, destemmed and gently pressed, then fermented with indigenous yeasts in 500-litre French oak tonneaux without temperature control, resting five to six months on lees in wood and a further year in bottle. Gold-flecked straw in the glass, with chamomile, wildflowers and jasmine over white peach and a faint buttery edge — rich and broad on the palate yet fresh and mineral, with the concentration to age seven or eight years.

Producer note

Fiorano is Paolo Beretta and Paola Massi's 10-hectare certified-organic estate in the eastern Apennine foothills, farmed with legume green manure and cover crops and bottled with minimal sulphur.

Gary Farr's Viognier — among the best examples of the variety in Australia. A serious wine in every sense; for occasions, not casual pours.

Pouilly-Fuissé (Vergisson), Mâconnais, Burgundy, France

Janots Bos Pouilly Fuisse 2020

Domaine Janots-Bos

Chardonnay from the Trémis vineyard beneath the Roche de Vergisson, one of the limestone crags that tower over Pouilly-Fuissé. The nose is rich and exotic — mango, apricot and tangerine — cut with a salty, flinty character, while the palate carries a lovely buttery note with real liveliness and freshness, finishing on striking minerality. Made by a small Meursault-based domaine whose wines are built to age, held in barrel before bottling rather than rushed out.

Castelli di Jesi, Marche, Italy

San Lorenzo Verdicchio le Oche 2023

Fattoria San Lorenzo

Le Oche is Fattoria San Lorenzo's single-vineyard Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico, made by Natalino Crognaletti's organic and biodynamic estate in the Marche. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeast, it's matured on lees for 12 months before a further 4 months in bottle — the same lees-ageing approach used for Champagne, applied at tank scale — which builds bready richness and a longer finish than standard Verdicchio. Brilliant straw yellow, with a fruity, floral nose of acacia, pear, almonds, elderflower and lime, layered with stone fruit and hazelnut and an intense, stony minerality; the palate is fresh, soft, balanced and persistent.
