Takaki Okada started Folium Vineyard as a boutique and organically farmed estate with 8ha of vineyards located in the Brancott Valley in the Marlborough Region on New Zealand’s South Island. The wines crafted here are distinctively European in style, with vintage variation, and has a subtlety that complements rather than overpowers food. They have a great following in Japan and other parts of Asia, and the Folium Vineyard Pinot Noir Reserve 2015 was featured as a great match for the much loved Peking Duck dish in the immensely popular Japanese manga series about wine, The Drops of God (神之水滴).

Only 600 bottles produced each year from ungrafted old vines that date back to 1870, today’s ex-Domaine offer is of the rare 2018 and 2019 vintages of the Creutz Sylvaner cuvee from the historic Sylvaner producer Weingut Zehnthof Luckert. The wine is complex, full-bodied, saline, and with elegant texture. It’s a match against great Burgundies in blind tasting, and as with all the other Luckert Sylanvers, it is made to age and should ideally be left to rest in the cellar or decanted in advance before serving now.

Founded in 1978 by Piero Benevelli, the father of current proprietor Massimo Benevelli, the estate has been going from strength to strength in recent years. From Fresia, Dolcetto, and Barbera, to the three Barolo crus, each cuvee of the Estate exhibits their own character, with elegance and balance a common theme across the wines. The vineyards are mainly on the hillsides of Monforte, a commune at the south eastern boundary of the Barolo DOCG producing zone. The winery and cellars are in Le Coste di Monforte, and the focus is always in the vineyards, consistent with Massimo’s belief that great wines only follow from the best grapes.

The Royer family owns 5 hectares of vineyards in Châteauneuf du Pape stretching back to the 1800s, but historically always sold their grapes to negociants and rented out their vines. This changed in 1985, when former rugby player Jean Marie Royer finished his oenology studies and returned to the estate to take charge and started bottling wines under his own name. The wines produced here are always amongst the more elegant samples of Châteauneuf du Pape, dominated by ripe elegant red fruit and more Burgundian in style, with Grenache being the dominating grape in the Southern Rhône blend.

Domaine Lionnet is a traditional Cornas domaine run by the husband and wife team of Ludovic Izérable and Corinne Lionnet, the estate has been organic since 2007, and officially organic since 2012. Though not certified, biodynamic farming has been practiced here since 2017. The low intervention wines from this small artisanal estate are classically proportioned and distinctly graceful in style, and they continue to sneak under the radar of northern Rhône enthusiasts.

Domaine de Villaine was created when Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of the world-famous Domaine de la Romanee Conti, returned to Burgundy from the United States in the 1970s with his American wife. The estate is now run by Aubert’s nephew Pierre de Benoist with organic and biodynamic farming in the vineyards, and with the Mercurey and Rully reds fermented in wood tanks, a style adopted from DRC. Production is low at circa 10,000 bottles per year, so we are delighted to be able to offer the eclectic parcel below.

Please join us for a special evening with Sam Lambson of Minimalist Wines, the up and coming producer from South Africa that has wowed the wine world with his distinctive cool climate Syrahs. Prepare for some delectable food prepared by the team at AnOther Place, and lively wine discussions as Sam join us via Zoom to share with us his winemaking philosophy and stories behind each of his wines.

“I am often asked who the up and coming stars are in Piedmont. Massimo Benevelli is surely one of them.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

Founded in 1978 by Piero Benevelli, the father of current proprietor Massimo Benevelli, the estate has been going from strength to strength in recent years. The estate produces the classic wines of the Langhe that are great reflections of their origins. From Fresia, Dolcetto, and Barbera, to the three Barolo crus, each cuvee of the Estate exhibits their own character, with elegance and balance a common theme across the wines.

Yann Durieux the rebel winemaker of Burgundy is a protégé of the late Henri-Frédéric Roch, the co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and owner of Domaine Prieuré-Roch. Having worked at Domaine Prieure Roch, and being put in charge of the Domaine’s Clos de Beze Grand Cru vineyard due to his exceptional understanding of biodynamic viticulture, Yann Durieux struck out to start his own Domaine, Recrue des Sens in 2010.

Current proprietor Jérôme Billard is the third generation of this family estate, and he gained an expanded worldview by working around the world following his oenology studies in Dijon. He first worked for the Moueix family at Petrus in Pomerol and Dominus in Napa Valley, and followed that up with time at the Sacred Hill estate in New Zealand before returning to Domaine de la Noblaie in 2003.

A one of a kind cool climate South African Syrah, the Minimalist Wines Stars In The Dark 2019 is the second vintage of this wine by rising star South African winemaker Sam Lambson. It has earned rave reviews from critics, with South African wine guide Platter’s awarding the 5-stars accolade to the wine , and most recently with Neal Martin, the Bordeaux and South Africa critic for Vinous Media, writing an effusive review and rating the wine 97 points, joint top with only two other reds amongst all South African reds ever reviewed by Neal Martin. Pricing remains reasonable for now despite the world-class quality, but with less than 1,400 bottles produced, and now that the secret is out, it will become increasingly elusive.

Chateau Sisqueille Rivesaltes Vin Doux Naturel 1874 HKD 5,000 per 37.5cl

The 1874 Rivesaltes from Château Sesqueille comes from a single barrel bottled by Philippe Gayral in January 2013 and it was, in fact, the debut vintage from Sesqueille (sic). It is a remarkable slice of history. The bouquet belies its age with wonderful Japanese plum and scents of sloe that gradually unfold in the glass and enrapture the senses. The palate is complex and sensual with red plum at its core, flanked by white pepper, fennel and aniseed aromas that are all exquisitely defined. The finish feels elegant and pure. No wonder Gayral felt compelled to bottle this. It is now quite difficult to find but bottles might crop up from time to time. Tasted with Philippe Gayral.

Score: 97

We are delighted to have sourced a parcel of the Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita 2016, one of only three wines from South America to be awarded 100 points by the Wine Advocate, and from an estate with vineyards topping World’s Best Vineyards* list for two years in a row.

With only 6,400 bottles produced, we are thrilled to be able to offer a small parcel of this wine in both loose bottles and OWC format all in stock in Hong Kong.

A magical wine from the unique Dorona di Venezia, a grape that was rescued from near extinction when the current proprietor of Tenuta Venissa discovered 88 such vine plants and decided to replant and revive a long tradition. Only 3,500 bottles are made on average per vintage, and rarer still in magnum format, this is a wine for the wine lover who has tried everything under the sun.

A monopoly vineyard in Puligny Montrachet with ninety percent of the vines 70 years old, the Clos de la Mouchere offers Grand Cru quality at Premier Cru price. Often an outperformer, the wine was amongst the top ten rated whites by Allen Meadows for the 2016 vintage. Our thoughts? Stock up now before the secret is out!

An under the market Sassicaia 2004 OWC, a pair of exciting Vietti Barolo 2016, the 100pts Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita, and a triumphant A.F. Gros Richebourg 2015. Read all about these wines here.
