The Fontan family has an amazing history. The story began over a century ago, and is the tale of four generations of Gascons, driven by a passion for their land, vines, wines and Armagnacs. In the 2000s, Sylvain and Nadège Fontan, brother and sister, took over the reins of the vineyard. They continued to develop the winery. As a winemaker and cellar master, Sylvain enhances the estate’s grapes, making a range of characterful Armagnacs and Côtes de Gascogne wines. The Maubet is a blend of gros manseng, ugni blanc, colombard, and sauvignon blanc, a crisp white wine with a refreshing citrus- and stone-fruit core and a touch of minerality. This is a crisp and fresh white wine that is ready to be enjoyed on the deck or patio!

Although Pinot Grigio is more common in Northern regions such as Veneto and Friuli, there is something to be said about producers growing Pinot Grigio in the South. With the right soil, proper care, and a knowledgeable (and talented) winemaker, Pinot Grigio from Puglia can be a fresh and fruity summer sip. Perfect to be served as an aperitif or complement to summer seafood dishes.

Much like the Loire region in France, Chenin Blanc tends to thrive in parts of South Africa and as such it is widely planted, yielding some excellent results. This 100% Chenin Blanc (or Steen as it is sometimes called locally) comes from the Swartland region. It is produced by the Mullineux family and it is fermented in both tanks and used French oak barrels to create a balanced wine with both silkiness and acidity. Great value in a crisp summer white.
Try pairing this versatile Chenin Blanc with Gruyère cheese, veal parmigiana, Chinese take-out, smoked salmon, or even turkey dinner.

Made from the Pecorino grape - not from Pecorino Romano cheese - though they definitely pair well together. This Pecorino from Tenute Barone di Valforte is made from grapes grown inthe vineyards withi the Abruzzo Pecorino D.O.C.

Deliciously bone dry Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley. Grapes are from small parcels and blended into a special cuvée by a co-op that worked together with the growers to craft this wonderful summer sipper. Intense aromas of white fruit, flowers, and citrus on the nose. Mouthwatering acidity with a citrussy, mineral finish. Pair with shellfish, halibut, and Thai food.
