SPARKLING
While there is no shortage of bottle-fermented sparkling wines around made in the same way as champagne, versions that are good value for money are rather more scarce. Some time ago, we went searching in France for a sparkling wine made in the traditional way that met our value-taste-quality criteria. Now a consistent crowd favourite, the only problem we have with the Saint-Meyland is keeping it in stock.

CHAMPAGNE
These brilliant champagnes are superb value While Moutard may lack the fame of some of the other marques, their softly textured wines are nonetheless very impressive, and flying, as they do, somewhat under the radar, they offer exceptional value. The Moutard-Diligent family can trace their history of viticulture as far back as 1642, but it was not until the 1920s that they began producing champagne under their own name. Along with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, the family is one of the few to still nurture the permitted Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc grapes, instilling these almost forgotten varieties with a new lease of life. The non-vintage wines are all aged for at least three years, the vintage and prestige champagnes for ten to fifteen. Both Moutard’s rosé and Grande Cuvée non-vintage bottlings are produced from 100% Pinot Noir, with additional complexity achieved through the use of older reserve stocks. The Grande Cuvée is a stand-out wine, wonderfully fresh, with a creamy texture and the weight and presence to accompany food.

BRUT MAJEUR NV | $69.99
Ayala is one of Champagne's originals, at the heart of the Grands Crus in Aÿ since 1860, when it was founded by Edmond de Ayala, a pioneer of the drier style. Chardonnay is its iconic grape, with Ayala's wines lauded for their freshness, purity and elegance. Grapes are hand harvested from more than 70 different crus in Champagne's best terroirs, with each variety, each cru and each vintage vinified separately to preserve their unique qualities.
A nose of florals, citrus and white fruits introduces a balanced and precise palate of fresh fruit flavours. Augmented by Pinots Noir and Meunier, Chardonnay reveals the full reach of its purity and elegance, enhanced by a low dosage of 7g/L. Extended aging for three years in the cellars confers the final touch to Ayala's flagship NV champagne.
From this rich selection, Chef de Cave Caroline Latrive and her small team compose the blends that define the complex and balanced Ayala style. The Chardonnay variety holds a central place in Caroline's blends, introducing a delicate freshness and an ethereal character to the wines. The purity of the style finally resides in the minimalist dosage employed, with extended aging developing a beautiful aromatic complexity. Caroline Latrive: 'I have this passion for Chardonnay; this grape variety charms me with all its facets. It always surprises me with all its tones of expression.'

J LASSALLE
Located just outside Reims, boutique producer J Lassalle is run by three generations of women, with 50% of the small-scale, 120,000-bottle production heading to the United States. Lassalle led the way, the first of the Growers to really make waves in that market.
PREFERENCE PREMIER CRU
NV | $72.99
Production is very traditional, with stainless steel, no use of oak, malolactic and 8-9g/L dosage. They have 16ha of vineyard, all in Premier and Grand Cru and divided into 45 different parcels (48% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 22% Pinot Noir). The vineyards were planted by cellar master Angéline Templier’s late grandfather, Jules Lassalle, with the company officially becoming a partnership between grandmother Olga, mother Chantal and daughter Angéline in 2006. There’s a definitive house style to the Lassalle wines, one of delicacy, freshness and unassailable quality. Each step of the winemaking process is based on carefully adhered to family techniques, with each cuvée aged for between four and ten years before release.
With its vibrantly fresh minerality, the Preference embodies the spirit of the J Lassalle house. A smooth and fruity palate evokes characters of pear, apple, peach and apricot, underlined with notes of liquorice and fennel. Unassailable quality.

5 | Remove from heat. Add parsley and butter and toss until butter is melted. Sprinkle about a ⅓ of breadcrumbs over pasta and toss to combine. Divide pasta and top with reserved clams, more breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of oil.
We match a trio of recipes from our intrepid Glengarry team with an equally fabulous wine. The rest is up to you
Clam Linguine 2 tablespoons Himalayan salt 12 garlic cloves 100g sourdough, crusts removed, cut into ½-inch pieces (or breadcrumbs) 2 tablespoons plus ¼ cup olive oil, plus more for serving 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, & more for serving ⅓ cup dry white wine 1kg clams, scrubbed 340g linguine finely chopped parsley 50g Unsalted butter
1 | Bring a pot of salted water to boil 2 | Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large casserole dish on mediumhigh. Add breadcrumb mixture, 3 garlic cloves of minced garlic and cook, stirring often, until crumbs are golden and crisp. Add lemon zest, season with salt, and toss to combine. Set aside. 3 | Thinly slice the remaining 9 garlic cloves. Heat ¼ cup oil in a large fry pan. Cook garlic, stirring often, until golden around the edges. Add ½ tsp of red pepper flakes and cook. Quickly stir in wine and simmer. Chuck clams in and toss to combine. Cover and cook until clams are open, 5–7 minutes. Uncover pot and transfer clams to a medium bowl, leaving liquid in pot. If any clams are still closed, cover pot again and cook a few minutes longer, then transfer to bowl with others (discard any that have not opened at this point). Cover clams with foil.

4 | Cook pasta in boiling water 5 minutes. Using a ladle, scoop out about 2 cups of pasta water. Using tongs transfer pasta to the pot with clam liquid. Add 1 cup of pasta cooking liquid and bring to a boil. Cook, tossing constantly and adding more pasta cooking liquid a splash at a time if needed, until pasta is al dente and sauce is glossy and thick enough to cling to noodles.

Vanilin Kiflice Traditional Croatian almond & vanilla sugar biscuit from the kitchen of family Matriarch Monika Jakicevich
75g sugar 1 egg 2 drops of Vanilla Essence Zest of half a orange Zest of half a lemon 1/8 grated nutmeg 70g butter 100g almond meal 100g self-raising flour
1 | Preheat oven to 1750C. Mix sugar, egg, vanilla, orange and lemon rind and grated nutmeg in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add butter and mix, followed by mixing in the almond meal. Add enough flour to get a dough-like consistency. As in most Croatian recipes, you simply get a feel for what's right rather than a fixed quantity. Combine and knead the mixture. Leave to rest for 5-10 mins. 2 | Sprinkle flour onto a work surface and softly combine all the ingredients until it holds its shape. Roll a cherry tomato quantity of the dough into a tubular shape. Form a crescent shape and place biscuits about 2cm apart onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. If the batter is sticky, add more flour so when rolling the mixture between your hands none should be sticking. 3 | Bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 8 minutes. Check the base of the biscuit – if golden brown remove from oven. Place biscuits in an oven-safe dish. When all batches have been baked return to the oven and bake at 1000C for a further 5 minutes until biscuits become crispy. Sprinkle with icing sugar or caster sugar and store in an airtight container.
TIP | the dough can be prepared and wrapped in cling film and refrigerated to be shaped and baked the following day.

| F.W.A. INC PISA TERRACE
CENTRAL OTAGO PINOT NOIR 2019 4-PACK | $189.00
In a year of unalleviated sameness, this might be one of the most exciting innovations in the local wine scene. It begins with one piece of dirt – a vineyard in the Pisa sub-region of Central Otago. Situated in the Cromwell Basin on a terrace against the Mount Pisa range and to the west of Lake Dunstan, the Pisa Terrace vineyard is subject to dramatic climate swings, the slowly elevating daytime temperatures co-existing with cool nights that can descend into frost. Sited on a bed of ancient rock and gravel, the organically-maintained vineyard is Biogro certified. Into this singular terroir insert four gifted winemakers: Zephyr's Ben Glover, Dicey's Matt Dicey, Mount Edward's Duncan Forsyth and Maude's Sarah Kate Dineen. If they were a band, it would probably be a supergroup. Collectively referred to as F.W.A. inc, the four winemakers all took a parcel of the same Pinot Noir fruit off the same vineyard, then went home to their individual cellars to craft their unique interpretation. The resulting creations come in a cool 4-pack – one of each of the individually-labelled wines – that you’ll find available online and instore (when instore is a thing) at Glengarry. All four winemakers will make a combined appearance via Zoom to host a tasting of the four wines alongside their estate wines from the same year. A special exploration of Central Otago Pinot Noir unlike any other.

Magnums
The versatile magnum is not just about 'double the fun' All in all, there's plenty to like about being the owner of a magnum of something good. Wine ages more slowly in larger bottles, so the 1.5 litre magnum is going to keep your wine fresher and more youthful. It also means that once you've opened it, with the use of a good stopper you can revisit it over several days. Less oxygen between the wine and the cork means the wine oxidizes more slowly than it does in a standard bottle, thereby retaining added flavour and nuance, an aspect that makes the magnum ideal for cellaring. With champagne, magnums also assist the wine to actually gain flavour, the yeast having more room to spread out and do its work. And then there's the sharing with friends aspect. Not just fun, versatile too.
This double hit of winemaking flair elegantly evokes the Martinborough magic with its generous fruit, lush spice and subtle earthiness

Chapel Down
CHAPEL DOWN PINOT NOIR GIN 700ML | 89.99
The sparkling maestros do stylish spirits as well Not content with making sparkling wine good enough to get the great houses of Champagne looking nervously across the Channel, Kent-based winery Chapel Down have also launched a delicious range of gins and vodka. Produced from the grapes they were already growing, these are intended as nods to the Chapel Down style and to express the varieties that make them, in much the same way you’d expect from a quality wine. The Bacchus gin takes its name from the native English grape that supplies its base spirit. Botanicals including coriander, elderflower and orange peel have been carefully selected to enhance and reflect the natural citrus and floral flavours found in Bacchus wine. Chapel Down’s Pinot Noir gin is billed as the world’s first of its kind. A distillate produced from Pinot Noir is blended with English wheat spirit, then matched by botanicals intended to enhance the natural character. Rosebuds, dried red berries and rosehip augment the ubiquitous juniper. The result is a gin not quite like any other sharing a similar shade of salmon, and indeed Chapel Down themselves shy away from calling it a pink gin; this is proudly and distinctively a Pinot Noir gin. Completing the trio is the Chardonnay vodka, triple distilled from the Chardonnay skins left over from sparkling wine production, resulting in a smooth, light vodka of citrus and stonefruit flavours. Shaped like a traditional wine bottle and featuring a frosted upper over a clear cut glass lower half, the Chapel Down spirits bottles are stunningly (and award-winningly!) beautiful. | DL

DARNLEY'S SMOKE AND ZEST SMALL BATCH GIN
500ML | $69.99
These uncompromising gins use the best of ever y thing
Darnley's Gin is made by independent Scottish whisky producers, Wemyss Malts. In 1565 Mary Queen of Scots spied her future husband, Lord Darnley, through the courtyard window at Wemyss Castle. Looking towards Edinburgh, the castle has been the family seat for over six centuries. From this marriage came a prince who united the thrones of England and Scotland. The family’s desire is also to combine the best of both countries and create a unique natural London Dry gin from their old family recipe. Many of the botanicals come from their farm cottage garden in the village of Kingsbarns, the elderflower still from the Castle estate. These are steeped in the base spirit, allowing the essential oils and flavours to be released. No additional flavours or sugars are added after distillation, only purified Scottish water. | RM

Wemyss T HE WORLD OF
The Wemyss siblings have created a whisky powerhouse Approaching row upon row of whisky bottles on the shelf can be a daunting experience. If you haven't ventured there too often, the exchange can sometimes be overwhelming. Navigating the world of whiskies and knowing what you’ll get inside the bottle before you’ve cracked it open is a rare talent. For those just starting out, an understanding of flavour is the first thing you want to master. Forging this modern approach to whisky drinking are brands like Wemyss Malts, who lead with flavour first, attracting both the experienced and the casual drinker. Headed up by brother and sister William and Isabella Wemyss, the Edinburgh-based independent bottler and blender has, over the last two decades, developed into an award-winning, handcrafted Scotch Whisky powerhouse. The Wemyss family (pronounced Weems) doesn’t lack in legacy either, their involvement with the Scotch industry dating back to the 1840s and the growing of high-quality barley within the Kingdom of Fife. To this day, those same barley fields continue to supply the very best grain to maltsters for their Scotch malt whisky production. With Wemyss Malts, there’s a dram for everyone. It’s easy to admire their bright array of expressions and colours, especially when it's backed up with quality spirit. Unapologetically showcasing their distinctive flavour styles, the new branding of the core range is impactful and bold. You might try the sweet and vibrant Hive neat or in a cloudy lemonade highball. Made for the curious, Spice King has a fantastic mouthfeel and matches perfectly with ginger ale. For those harbouring a thing for a smoky whisky, Peat Chimney will not disappoint, the fresh, astutely balanced hit of citrus destined to win over the faintest of hearts. All this is done, of course, in the name of you finding your own individual style and learning to trust your palate. Enjoy the adventure. | A J 34

BLENDED MALT SCOTCH WHISKY AGED 25 YEARS 700ML | $249
Rich & fruity with a velvety mouthfeel, this is one of the finest blended malts to come out of Wemyss
A luxurious whisky built to impress. Showing no sharp edges, it's one of the finest vattings of casks to come out of the Wemyss portfolio. Vatting is the process where single malt casks from different distilleries are blended together. Five ex-sherry hogshead casks of 1994 vintage Speyside and Highland single malts were blended together with 15 ex-sherry casks of 1988 vintage unpeated Bunnhabhain single malt, then transferred to 14 refill hogsheads to marry for 16 months.

Thomson & Glengarry team up on a new whisky Over the past decade, New Zealand has experienced a whisky renaissance that has nurtured the emergence of new distilleries. Whisky making here is not a new undertaking, dating back to the 1830s when the first Scottish settlers landed with their whisky expertise. The most famous distillery, Willowbank, was mothballed in 1997, an event that marked the end of local whisky production for many years. Parts of the Willowbank distillery were disassembled, destined for different parts of the world. Laid up in warehouses, Willowbank's remaining barrels of whisky had another life to live. Some of them ended up in the hands of keen, young distiller, Mat Thomson. Thus Thomson Whisky was launched into the New Zealand market, releasing these old single malts as independent bottlers. Back in the days when Thomson Whisky was just a gleam in the Thomson eye, Mat and Rachael Thomson started attending the Glengarry Malt Club. Little did they know when they wandered into Jak Jakicevich’s monthly whisky tastings that they were embarking on a lifetime of whisky devotion. Rachael’s passion and marketing smarts merged seamlessly with Mat’s tenacious tendencies and a good old Kiwi doit-yourself attitude to find the whisky, beat the copper still and sell it to the world. It was only a matter of time until the Thomson and the Jakicevich families released something together; both have the whisky-loving bug, and both hail from the mighty West Auckland. This special limited bottling celebrates the connection and meeting of spirits: two barrels harmoniously married together, made from locallygrown, unsmoked malted barley, distilled through hand-beaten copper pot stills and matured in New Zealand wine casks, then finished in Tennessee whiskey barrels. The Grain & Grape is beautifully golden in the glass and a nutty indulgence on the nose. The palate is clean and vibrant, exuding a feeling of summer with its notes of apricot and zesty fruits, the full spectrum of balanced flavours enhanced with a kiss of Tennessee. A strong backbone of whisky and wood extract the distiller's perfection. Thomson's following is growing across the world. If you haven’t yet tried these highly acclaimed single malts, well, what are you waiting for? | A J 36

The New Zealand
Whisky Collection
We grab the last barrel of NZWC's historic collection When Dunedin’s Willowbank Distillery ceased operations in 1997 it was the end of an era stretching back to 1974, and for a time the end of whisky distillation in New Zealand. Willowbank’s many thousands of litres of whisky still aging away in cask were auctioned off or stored away safely, with the NZ Whisky Company buying the last 443 barrels in 2010. Since then NZWC have blended and bottled several releases from that original purchase, with many of them winning international acclaim.

NZWC THE OAMARUVIAN CASK 565 18 YEAR OLD CASK STRENGTH NEW ZEALAND WHISKY
As all good things must though, the old Willowbank stocks are coming to an end. Here at Glengarry, we are proud and excited to have our hands exclusively on the very last selection – Cask 565: 18 years old and bottled at cask strength. A piece of Kiwi whisky history, but even more than that an absolutely delicious dram. This is one for the collectors and the enjoyers alike, so don’t be slow. For the NZ Whisky Company the future is very bright. With new general manager and head distiller Michael Byars at the helm, they have returned whisky production to Dunedin with a brand new distillery being set up within the walls of Speight’s Brewery. Look out for their water-of-life in the near future, and get excited – Glengarry’s own bossman and knower of all things whisky, Jak Jakicevich, declares it the finest new make spirit he has yet tasted. | DL
