RRP $42

High in the spectacular Italian Alps, surrounded by some of Europe's most dramatic mountain scenery, lies the tiny wine region of Valle d'Aosta.

And from this extraordinary landscape comes one of Italy's most fascinating white wines — 2024 Les Crêtes Mon Blanc.

Produced by the highly regarded Les Crêtes estate, this is a wonderful expression of Alpine winemaking, combining freshness, delicate aromatics, beautiful texture and a mouthwatering mineral finish.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE SORT OF WINE THAT MAKES DISCOVERING ITALIAN WHITES SO EXCITING!

LES CRÊTES — A BENCHMARK PRODUCER OF VALLE D'AOSTA

Founded by the Charrère family, Les Crêtes has become one of the most respected and influential wineries in Valle d'Aosta.

The family's agricultural history in the region stretches back generations, while its modern winemaking story has helped bring international attention to this tiny Alpine appellation.

Valle d'Aosta is Italy's smallest wine-producing region, tucked into the mountains of northwestern Italy near the French and Swiss borders.

Here, vineyards cling to steep mountain slopes, benefiting from dramatic temperature differences between day and night, abundant sunshine and the cooling influence of the Alps.

The result?

WINES OF REMARKABLE FRESHNESS, PRECISION, AROMATIC INTENSITY AND MINERALITY.

Les Crêtes has earned a reputation for producing some of the region's most compelling wines, and Mon Blanc is a particularly attractive introduction to its distinctive Alpine style.

WHAT MAKES MON BLANC SO SPECIAL?

Mon Blanc is an Alpine white blend, traditionally bringing together varieties including Petit Arvine, Prié Blanc, Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau and Chardonnay.

The result is a beautifully expressive wine that captures the freshness and character of the mountains.

Expect a vibrant combination of:

• Fresh citrus: Lemon zest, grapefruit and crisp orchard fruits.

• Delicate florals: White flowers and subtle Alpine herbal notes.

• Beautiful texture: A lovely balance between fruit concentration and refreshing acidity.

• Mineral precision: A clean, lively, mouthwatering finish that makes another glass almost impossible to resist.

This is not a big, heavy, oak-dominated white wine.

IT IS ALL ABOUT FINESSE, FRESHNESS, PURITY AND DRINKABILITY!

And that is precisely why we love it.

A MAGNIFICENT FOOD WINE

The beautiful acidity and Alpine freshness make Mon Blanc an incredibly versatile wine at the table.

Think freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, scallops, seafood crudo, delicate white fish, fresh goat's cheese or a beautiful plate of handmade pasta with lemon and herbs.

It would also be absolutely sensational with a seafood platter on a warm Australian afternoon.

SERVE CHILLED, POUR GENEROUSLY AND WATCH HOW QUICKLY THE BOTTLE DISAPPEARS!

WHY WE LOVE THIS WINE

There is so much more to Italian white wine than Pinot Grigio, Soave and Vermentino.

And wines like this are exactly why we spend so much time searching for exciting discoveries from lesser-known regions.

Les Crêtes is a producer with serious pedigree, Valle d'Aosta is one of Italy's most fascinating wine regions, and Mon Blanc offers a wonderful opportunity to experience something genuinely different.

AT JUST $42 A BOTTLE, THIS IS A BRILLIANT INTRODUCTION TO THE MAGIC OF ALPINE ITALIAN WHITE WINES.

Fresh. Fragrant. Mineral. Elegant. Absolutely delicious.
