Autumn is a time for shaking things up; for wines that stimulate the senses providing fresh perspectives. We think this selection is perfect for the changing of seasons, there's something interesting about each pick. Whether it's the poised earthiness of Reau's 'Pompois', the smoky minerality of 'Shadow Play' Xinomavro or the beautiful textures of I Parieti's 'Scazzaridde'- there's a lot to chew on, and hopefully many new vinuous avenues to venture down.
