LA FERME DES 9 CHEMINS
Le Chemin des Loups 2024
Alsace, France
A blend of Sylvaner, Auxerrois and Riesling from sixty year old vines planted over volcanic sandstone some four hundred meters above sea level. The grapes were pressed directly to cuve for one year of élevage, and a cooler, classic vintage had rendered a fresh, filigree and fine wine that impresses with both elegance and restraint. A delicious expression of this unique part of Alsace.

MONTEFORCHE
Cassiara 2024
Veneto, Italy
Moscato Bianco and Garganega from two parcels of vines of around forty years of age. The fruit was destemmed and macerated for a day before being pressed to concrete vats until the following spring. This is fresh and floral, open and inviting. An easygoing, delicious wine, which works beautifully as an aperitivo.

BARRACO
Catarratto 2024
Sicily, Italy
A beautiful expression of Catarratto from a forty year old vineyard planted just a few hundred metres from the Mediterranean over black volcanic soils. This spends a day on skins, before being pressed off to concrete. A beautiful shade of gold, this pairs ripe stone fruits with a pronounced smokiness from the land and a lick of salt from the sea. A wine with an incredible sense of place.
