A welcoming journey through white wine
Discover six refreshing expressions of place
This case has been brought together for anyone who enjoys fresh white wine and would like to explore beyond a familiar grape with confidence. Terre Antiche’s Gavi di Gavi begins with an elegant Italian expression of Cortese, bringing stone fruit, apple, lime peel and mineral length. France offers two lively but distinct styles: Le Peewit Sauvignon Gris is aromatic and juicy with white peach and apple blossom, while Baron de Badassière Picpoul de Pinet combines bright citrus with a saline coastal edge. From Spain, Pago de los Capellanes shows another side of freshness through O Luar do Sil, a Godello shaped by the granite, slate and clay soils of Valdeorras. Weinberghof Fritsch adds yellow orchard fruit, white pepper and herbs in a rounded, lively Grüner Veltliner from biodynamically farmed Austrian vineyards. Gašper completes the journey with a richer, silkier Pinot Grigio from Slovenia, balancing pear and tropical fruit with fresh citrus. Together, they make an engaging comparison of aroma, texture and minerality, with plenty of versatility at the table.

Le Peewit
Philippe Lebrun, Côtes de Gascogne, France

Picpoul de Pinet
Baron de Badassière, Languedoc, France

Grapefruit, lemon and lime mingle with subtle floral notes before a textured palate brings together zesty acidity and saline minerality. The result is bright and clean, with a distinctly coastal freshness.

O Luar do Sil
Pago de los Capellanes, Valdeorras, Spain

Fresh citrus and orchard fruit are threaded with subtle mineral notes from the glass onwards. Crisp acidity and a clear mineral core give this dry Godello an elegant texture, followed by a clean, persistent finish.

Wagram
Weinberghof Fritsch, Wagram DAC, Austria

Gašper Pinot Grigio
Gašper, Goriška Brda, Slovenia
Tasting note
Pear, grapefruit and pineapple meet a delicate hint of cinnamon, creating an aromatic and gently exotic first impression. The palate is balanced and medium-bodied, with satisfying richness, a silky feel and fresh citrus through the finish.
Pair with
Pour it with seafood, white meat or a light pasta dish when you want a white with both freshness and a little extra richness.
Why curious white-wine drinkers will enjoy it
The pleasure lies in discovering how differently white wines can express freshness. Baron de Badassière’s Picpoul brings the citrus and saline character of coastal Languedoc, while Pago de los Capellanes draws a pure, mineral Godello from the granite, slate and clay slopes of Valdeorras. Weinberghof Fritsch then changes the mood with biodynamically farmed Grüner Veltliner from Wagram, combining rounded orchard fruit with pepper, herbs and lively acidity.
- Terre Antiche blends fruit from two neighbouring Gavi vineyards with contrasting soils, bringing stone-fruit and lime aromas together with fuller texture, minerality and length.
- Le Peewit offers an aromatic introduction to Sauvignon Gris from Gascony, where white peach and apple blossom meet juicy fruit and brisk, zesty freshness.
- Gašper’s hand-picked Pinot Grigio from Goriška Brda provides a richer counterpoint, layering pear, grapefruit, pineapple and cinnamon over a silky, citrus-edged finish.
I love the way this collection moves from bright citrus and coastal salinity to orchard fruit, mineral depth and silky richness, making every glass a genuinely enjoyable discovery.
