  Many experts consider Chateau Haut Bergeron to be the best of the non classified Sauternes. Part of the secret of the success of Robert Lamothes and his sons Patrick and Herue is the terroir. The 28 hectare vineyard is split on such a way, that part of the vines are in Barsac, (next to Chateau Climens), part are at Preignac and a large slice next to Chateau d’Yquem. At one stage the label used to boast this fact, with the words 'CONTIGU d’YQUEM'. Son, Herue is a dedicated and passionate winemaker who ages wine in 25% to 50% new oak casks. The exact percentage depends upon the vintage conditions.

  A vastly underrated estate in the world of Sauternes.

  Deep golden colour with a pale gold hue. Potent honeyed peach aromas waft out of the glass with notions of dried apricot, marmalade, distinct botrytis spice and toffee apple notes ensuing. Rich with a thick luscious mouthfeel yet finishing with beautiful freshness, the fabulously concentrated palate is drenched with honey, ripe apricot and peach fruits which meld into notions of juicy pineapple, toffee apple and marmalade. Magnificent power with cleansing acidity and an exceptionally long aftertaste that lingers well after the wine has been swallowed.
  Drink over the next 6-8 years.
  Alc. 14.5%

  85% Sémillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc. Amazingly concentrated nose of honey and flowers, the palate is richly unctuous with intense layers of pineapple, mango and honey, great depth of flavour underpinned with delicious acidity, lovely wine.

  Veneto, Italy’s north-eastern region with Venice its capital, is home to the Pinot Grigio grape variety. Each year, since the 10th century, The Carnival of Venice is celebrated in the San Marco Square, with people dancing and feasting behind elaborate and exotic masks which is where this wine takes it’s name - La Maschera (the mask). Protected from the harsh northern European climate by the Alps, these cooler climes are somewhat similar to the coastal maritime regions of the Limestone Coast where the grapes for this wine were harvested.
  A consistently excellent Pinot Grigio, the juice for this wine was wild fermented on full solids in old French oak where it remained on lees for 7 months to enhance the texture.

  Boasting superb intensity of flavour and a beautiful texture, this is a fantastic example of Pinot Grigio.

  Brilliant very pale straw colour with a faint greenish tinge to the edges and a watery hue. Elevated spiced pear and red apple scents meld into subtle honeysuckle and quince notes. Rich, concentrated and luscious in texture, the palate is engulfed with ripe pear, red apple and honeysuckle flavours. Finishes spicy with some quince and cinnamon characters also present. Nicely balanced acidity lends freshness to the long, generously textured aftertaste.
  Drink over the next 1-2 years.
