The White Detour

Small pours. Big discoveries.

The White Detour

Your usual white can wait. Ghëddo’s native Piedmontese blend starts a tasting that puts Loire Chenin alongside Mullineux’s Granite, revisits Marlborough through Greywacke’s 2015 archive release, and takes in Kellerberg Grüner Veltliner and Guigal’s La Doriane Condrieu.

'Archive Release' Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Marlborough, New Zealand
Sauvignon Blanc

This mature Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc reveals a side of the variety rarely encountered. Candied citrus, lemongrass and subtle flinty notes replace youthful...

More about this wine

Greywacke held this 2015 Sauvignon Blanc back for an archive release, allowing a familiar Marlborough category to become something far less familiar. It is Kevin Judd’s argument that serious New Zealand Sauvignon deserves time in bottle.

More about this wine

Tinaar brings together three native Piedmontese whites that rarely share a bottle: Arneis, Nascetta and Timorasso. Ghëddo’s 2023 is a small-production alternative to the international varieties that dominate most serious white-wine conversations.

'Granite' Chenin Blanc 20231 × 100ml

Mullineux

'Granite' Chenin Blanc 2023

Swartland, South Africa
Chenin Blanc

Lime zest, green pear and a distinctive flinty minerality give this Chenin Blanc its unmistakable character. There’s an incredible sense of purity...

More about this wine

Granite comes from dry-farmed Chenin bush vines planted in 1976 on the Paardeberg. It is Mullineux’s highest-altitude single-terroir white, designed to isolate what decomposed granite contributes when the grape and cellar work stay constant.

Pichler-Krutzler

'Kellerberg S' Grüner Veltliner 2019

More about this wine

Kellerberg is one of the Wachau’s great terraced vineyards, rising steeply behind Dürnstein. Elisabeth Pichler and Erich Krutzler’s 2019 gives Grüner Veltliner the scale and cellar time more commonly associated with the region’s top Rieslings.

'La Doriane' Condrieu 20231 × 100ml

E. Guigal

'La Doriane' Condrieu 2023

Northern Rhône, France
Viognier

White peach, apricot and jasmine leap from the glass in this beautifully aromatic Condrieu. The palate is silken and generous, yet remarkably...

More about this wine

La Doriane draws Viognier from five of Condrieu’s finest hillside lieux-dits and gives each parcel full barrel fermentation. It is Guigal’s unapologetically ambitious answer to the idea that the appellation produces only short-lived wines.

The White Detour

Six whites with different grapes, ages and textures. Follow the contrasts and you may find your next favourite somewhere you had not thought to look.
