JUGO VINS, DO IT FLUID, PUIGPUNYENT, MALLORCA 2024
100% Giro Ros
Super juicy orange from Charlie Prymaka, light extraction for maximum gluggability. Charlie's wines never hang around long, and this is one of the reasons why.
ZIDARICH, VITOVSKA GREEN VERDE, FRUILI, CARSO, 2023
Vitovska and Malvasia
A slightly hazy yellow. Fruity and mineral nose with notes of cooked fruit and saltiness. Linear palate with finesse, a refreshing but savoury finish. 2 weeks on the skins, in open top vessels. Then aged for a year in old Slavonian oak.
DENAVOLO, DINAVOLINO BIANCO, EMILIA ROMAGNA, ITALY, 2022
25% Malvasia, 25% Ortrugo, 25% Marsanne, 25% Trebbiano, Sta Maria and Sauvignon
Golden yellow colour due to maceration on the skins, the nose has aromas of sweet citrus fruits and flowers, honey, rosemary, sage and capers. In the mouth it is vibrant with good structure with fresh and perceptible tannins.
CASA BALAGUER, SALICORNIO MOSCATEL, ALICANTE, SPAIN, 2023
100% Moscatel
Golden yellow in colour. Stone fruits, peach and orange peel on the nose. Full and complex on the palate with a pronounced saline character from the salty soils, medium bodied with long dry finish. The wine comes from an incredible beach vineyard, and it's separated from the skins mid way through fermentation
PEPIN ORANGE (LOT 33), SCHWERWILLER, ALSACE, FRANCE, NV
Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner, Pinot Gris & Auxerrois
