Product Description: A pale red with serious intent—Jura in all its ethereal glory. Domaine du Pélican’s 2023 Poulsard is as beguiling as the grape itself: translucent in the glass yet full of energy, character, and gastronomic charm. Made from old vines across Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures, including parcels once tended by Jura icon Jacques Puffeney, this cuvée has become a staple of the estate since 2015. Vinified gently with full destemming and no punch-downs, then aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness, this is a wine that embraces its light hue and expressive aromatic profile. The 2023 vintage, shaped by a warm end to the season, delivers lifted red berries, rose petals, and earthy spice. Don’t let the colour fool you—there’s depth and precision beneath the surface. Best served slightly chilled, this Poulsard plays beautifully with charcuterie, mushroom risotto, or a classic roast quail. Also a joy to drink solo, when its gossamer touch and layered aromatics really shine.

Tannins start mid-palate and leave a lovely rolling chewy nature. Spicy through the finish with vanilla and sweet baking spices.

Pinot Noir in its most pure form. Outstanding fruit concentration is immediately apparent. A very tight-knit wine in all facets, reflecting the passion and respect that Gary Farr has for this noble grape variety. Knife edge precision, ethereal flavours and a gracious, balanced finish. Bravo.

Bannockburn Shiraz is a multi-layered wine showing blackberry, black cherry and spice on the nose which follow through to the palate. Soft tannins and medium length.

Approachable, generous and flavoursome with a silken elegance. Berry fruits come to the fore with gentle dried herb notes in the background. Medium bodied, the palate is finely structured with lovely soft lingering tannins which integrate perfectly with the soft supportive acid and plush fruit.
