THE NEW RELEASE COLLECTION

GERMANY – WHITE WINE CONT’D RHEINHESSEN THÖRLE RIESLING KABINETT 2022 Pradikätswein Very fresh, crisp pear and pink-grapefruit aromas with a touch of lemon blossom make this an enticing riesling Kabinett. Light-bodied, very pure and bright, this has uplifting energy that makes it a very typical example of this off-dry style. Long, very refreshing finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Score: 92 (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, Sept. 26, 2023) Off-dry & Fruity 45016 (M) 750 ml $29.95 2 Online & Flagship Exclusive 4 Organic product DOMAINE HATZIMICHALIS ALEPOTRYPA VINEYARD ASSYRTIKO 2024 PGI Atalanti Valley, vegan While known for its Santorini origin, the Assyrtiko grape is actually cultivated all throughout Greece. The variety is particularly prized for creating crisp, expressive wines with a wonderful ability to convey the mineral nuances of the soil; this wine evokes wet river stones and volcanic rock, with lovely jasmine, passion fruit and lemon adding even further intrigue. Sip with lemon chicken or fried calamari. Aromatic & Flavourful 27182 (D) 750 ml $19.95 2 DOMAINE HATZIMICHALIS KAPNIAS ZYGOS VINEYARD 2021 PGI Atalanti Valley This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from select parcels of the Zygos Vineyard from vines averaging 35 years old. Aged in French oak for 24 months, it’s elegant and complex, with ripe dark fruit, blackberry, cassis, cedar, vanilla and smoke. It has the structure and character to cellar through 2030. Full-bodied & Firm 27181 (XD) 750 ml $38.95 2 Online & Flagship Exclusive GREECE – WHITE WINE GREECE – RED WINE

ESTATE PAPAIOANNOU SAINT GEORGE AGIORGITIKO 2019 PDO Neméa, vegan Always representative of an arch classic Greek red and more pointedly about Nemean agiorgitiko with its sweet rusticity, mountain tea savour and windy summer dustiness. Terrific tannic composure and darker fruit than may, plummy and never peppery but washing over the palate in waves of softness. Thanassis Papaioannou passed away in 2019, same vintage as this spot on agiorgitiko that delivers what he always understood, the idea that wine must maintain its unique sense of place. Drink 2024-2028. Tasted November 2024. Score: 92 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) Medium-bodied & Fruity 27217 (XD) 750 ml $29.95 2 4 Organic product

WINE ART ESTATE IDISMA DRIOS XI DRY RED WINE 2020 Drama

Roasted herbs, tobacco, grilled figs and black fruit on the nose of this juicy red. It’s medium- to full- bodied with nicely mellowing tannins and a tasty combination of sweet fruit and earthy flavors. Drink now or hold. Score: 93 (Claire Nesbitt, james suckling.com, Dec. 12, 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 35719 (XD) 750 ml $56.95 2 Online & Flagship Exclusive
