Meursault 1er Cru 'Poruzots' Thierry Pillot 2020
Meursault 1er Cru 'Poruzots' Thierry Pillot 2020
Thierry Pillot · The Whisky Exchange

Thierry Pillot is a talented Burgundy winemaker known for producing wines that reflect the region’s terroir. His Meursault 1er Cru 'Poruzots' 2020 offers aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and delicate floral notes. Like the Marqués de Riscal, Thierry Pillot's Meursault is built on citrus and stone fruit freshness, delivering that same aromatic brightness you love. Both wines prioritise elegant, mineral-driven profiles over oak heaviness, with lime and orchard notes cutting through beautifully. Where this 1er Cru steps up is complexity and ageing potential—you're getting Burgundy's signature finesse and the wine's ability to evolve over years. The delicate floral backdrop adds sophistication that rewards sipping slowly, making this a natural progression when you're ready to explore beyond supermarket finds.

La Cayetana El Corazon Manda Semilon 2023
La Cayetana El Corazon Manda Semilon 2023
La Cayetana · The Whisky Exchange

Argentinian Sémillon made in the Uco Valley from vines at an altitude of 1,000m. Aromas of linden, lime oils and ripe pear, with hints of toast and honey. On the palate, it leads with a firm acidity, before a juicy mid-palate and a lingering finish. La Cayetana's Sémillon shares the Verdejo's crisp acidity and lime-driven character, with that same refreshing, slightly pithy bite you crave. At 1,000m altitude in Argentina's Uco Valley, you get the same lean, mineral-forward style that makes Spanish whites so compelling. This wine deserves your attention for its juicy mid-palate contrast—you get freshness upfront, then unexpected richness developing, plus subtle toast and honey hints that add intrigue without heaviness. It's proof that South American whites can match European refinement at a fraction of the price.

Wildcard pick 03
Nathan Kendall Chardonnay 2022
Nathan Kendall Chardonnay 2022
Nathan Kendall · The Whisky Exchange

Nathan K wines was founded in 2011 by Nathan Kendall who cut his teeth in wineries around the world. These are a real delight on the nose, floral with lifted orchard fruits and notes of lemon zest and yuzu. Nathan Kendall's Chardonnay echoes the Verdejo's citrus-forward character, with lemon zest and yuzu bringing that same sharp, refreshing quality you love. The lifted orchard fruits and floral notes match the aromatic profile of Spain's finest white, minus the pithy bitterness. You should try this for how it proves great Chardonnay needn't be oaky or buttery—this is elegant and precise, with a purity that rivals much pricier bottles. The yuzu note in particular signals something special: a winemaker thinking creatively about white wine freshness.
