2023 Bande Apart Aligoté

$48.00
/
Tax included.

Varietal: Aligoté
Region: King Valley, VIC
Winemaker: Jess DiGiorgio

If you tend towards a lighter-style cool climate Chardy, or appreciate a well balanced, lightly textural Pinot Gris, Aligoté could well be your new favourite. Known as Burgundy’s “other” white grape, it is gaining in popularity with Australian producers and Bande Apart is among those leading the way. With honeysuckle, vanilla and peach on the nose and hints of jasmine and apple on the palate, this is a very easy-drinking and beautifully balanced white wine. We’re dreaming of summer pairings with a zucchini tart or fresh prawns.

The 2023 Aligoté is grown in the Koombahla Vineyard, Whitfield, Victoria. Grapes are handpicked, whole bunch pressed and fermented in old French oak before bottling. Made in only tiny quantities (3 barrels), this wine is a rare treat, created out of a passion for the Burgundian grape which doesn’t get enough love from Australian producers with only a handful of examples being made currently. Light and very drinkable.
