Society Whites Case

Australian chardonnay made exclusively for us by Wirra Wirra, the quality of the 2021 vintage shines through here and thanks to tweaked winemaking this wine is better than ever. The nose is fresh; white fruit, citrus and flint-driven and the palate is crisp, textured and refreshing. Smart and focused chardonnay.

This is a crisp Chilean sauvignon blanc with blackcurrant-leaf aromas and a refreshing palate. Produced by Tabalí from cool vineyards in Limarí.

Sourced from the La Guardiense cooperative (‘they give us the best stuff,’ revealed Sebastian Payne MW), this is an expressive white loaded with tangy nectarine and tangerine, and further evidence that Italian whites are better than ever. No surprise that it was voted a 2022 Wine Champion by our tasters.

Our flagship English white comes from Three Choirs in Gloucestershire, from the refreshing and aromatic 2021 vintage, with aromas of white-fruits, citrus and gooseberry, and a light, structured and pure palate. A blend of Madeleine Angevine, solaris, orion, seyval blanc, reichensteiner and bacchus, this is a delicious dry white and a real success story from such a tricky English vintage.

A refreshing, flavoursome white from the southern Rhône and made for us by the enterprising Perrin family of Beaucastel fame. This would be good with fish and chips or a pasta carbonara.

Noticeably drier in this vintage, this is fragrant, light, crisp Gascon white with a slight refreshing prickle. There is a hint of citrus on the palate that is more grapefruit than lemon. Light enough to be perfect on its own or with summery salads.

The co-operative movement has historically been important in Germany and Ruppertsberg is easily one of the best. This full, fruity dry white is made using a majority of silvaner for body and a little riesling for citrusy fruit and grip. A versatile white to be enjoyed with or without food.

A classic example of this light and easy-drinking style from northern Portugal, with delicate spritz and a bright, fresh palate.

A textbook grüner from the historic Stadt Krems winery, all succulent pear and white-pepper aromas, nectarine notes on the palate and a refreshing spritz that whets the appetite.

An introduction to the wines of this beautiful region of France, rather than being made from a single grape variety, this is a blend of riesling, gewurztraminer, pinot gris, muscat and sylvaner which varies a little by vintage. The 2020 is fresh, delicately aromatic, and dry.

Hot off the boat, our chenin is made for us by the Grier family at Villiera Estate on the border of Paarl and Stellenbosch, from their own sustainably farmed old bush vines - some over 30 years old - which provide a richer component to which an earlier-picked lighter proportion is added to deliver its familiar bright stone-fruit flavour.

Classic Muscadet from Chéreau-Carré and a tiny vintage producing very pure wine with racy acidity, this is the perfect accompaniment to shellfish and crustaceans.
