DOMAINE DU VIEUX BOURG MORGON CÔTE DU PY, 2021

"Morgon and the hill of Côte du Py are the essence of Beaujolais for me: Iron-oxide soils, granite, schiste, and the famous blue stones seem to allow power and richness but also elegance. This has cherry pie aromas, soft red berries and bright taut fruits - youthful, so decanting for an hour will soften it further."

WEINGUT PFEFFINGEN TERRA ROSSA RIESLING SPÄTLESE TROCKEN, 2021

"The Pfalz near Heidelberg has a mix of soils including some 'terra rossa' red clay where this elegant riesling was grown. Soft apple and lime aromas with herbal complexity, apple fruits hit first followed by citrus and prickly lime flavours, this is layered, taut and bracingly dry and crisp. Stunningly good."
