The colour of a Tuscan sunset, this golden wine is a white with oomph. Made from the best grapes in the vineyard, Crocus Riserva is partially matured in French oak barrels with continuous batonnage until its complex flavours have developed. This full-bodied, aromatic wine tastes of peaches and vanilla, with a subtle “oakiness” that adds an extra layer of flavour. For chardonnay fans, there’s a lot to love in this wine.

The best San Gimignano Vernaccia grapes of our vineyard are fermented half in oak and half in steel, then aged for 12 months on its lees for structure and fullness. A wine with tremendous depth of ripe stone fruit flavours and vibrant natural savouriness, it can be enjoyed on release or cellared for three years for further complexity.
Perfect with spicy dishes.
Rich, creamy and full-bodied, this wine can mellow out the spice level of Sichuanese, Thai or Indian foods.
If you prefer your food to be comforting rather than hot, drink it with macaroni cheese.
