FRANCE Ž WHITE WINE ALSACE JOSEPH CATTIN RIESLING 2024 AOC Alsace, sustainable

THE WINERY OF GOOD HOPE FULL BERRY FERMENTATION PINOTAGE 2024 WO Coastal Region This wine comes from two sites, one in northern Stellenbosch with sandy, decomposed quartz and granite soils, and the other in the weathered granite soils of Voor Paardeberg. Destemmed but not crushed, the grapes underwent spontaneous wild fermentation in stainless steel with the intent of encouraging a less tannic style of Pinotage and emphasizing the wine’s vibrant cherry, black fruit, spice and minerality. AUSTRIA Ž WHITE WINE HUBER VISION ORGANIC GRÜNER VELTLINER 2024 Qualitätswein, Niederösterreich, sustainable, vegan Tenth-generation winemaker Markus Huber has a vision for a greener future. After inheriting his family’s estate in 2000, he converted the four hectare parcel in the Traisental Valley into a larger, fully organic vineyard. This light, racy, peppery Grüner evokes all the quality of fine loess soils, with peach, lemon, and a notable mineral character. Enjoy it through 2028+.

(Translated from the French) Pale yellow colour with green highlights. Distinctive nose combining notes of lychee and Szechuan pepper, very appealing. The palate offers a tense, aromatic attack leading to a fine structure. A pleasant wine to enjoy with raw fish.

BURGUNDY DOMAINE DU BICHERON MÂCON PÉRONNE 2022 AOP

All chardonnay, of course, and matured in stainless steel, this is a lovely Mâcon – a too little-known region of Burgundy – that delivers layered fruit in the peach and pear ranges. The acidity is bright, refreshing and well balanced, setting it up as a very good food wine. Enjoy this while it has its youthful freshness: drink now to 2026. Score: 91 (Rod
