Domaine Begude is a small, family-owned property located high in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Limoux region of the Languedoc. The long, cool growing season lends itself perfectly to the production of crisp and delicate wines, all organically certified by Ecocert. Vigneron James Kinglake has been secretly growing Gewurztraminer on his property for years but it wasn't recognized by the appellation board until recently. Also trying their hand at something fun and playful, they took a small amount of the Gewurztraminer and kept it on the skins for two weeks in stainless steel tank. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered and with no added sulfites. A great new expression from one of our favorite organic producers! *Orange Wine* *Natural Wine* *No Added Sulfites*

The 2020 Pinot Grigio captivates with sweet spices, dusty florals and dried nectarine. This is round and soothing with a sun tea-like sweetness and bitter twang of tannin that adds a more tactile feel. It finishes with cheek-puckering tension.

The 2021 Il Censo "Praruar" Catarratto (Terre Siciliane IGT) is a monumental, deeply soul-stirring skin-contact masterpiece that showcases the wild, high-altitude potential of Sicily's interior. Crafted by Gaetano Gargano—with guidance from the legendary Giampiero Bea of Umbria—from organically farmed vines rooted in clay-limestone soils near Palazzo Adriano, this is an uncompromising amber wine. The Catarratto grapes undergo a massive two to three weeks of maceration on the skins using native yeasts, followed by a long, slow maturation in stainless steel and concrete. Bottled entirely unfined and unfiltered with zero technical makeup, it is a raw, visceral monument to the variety.

The 2024 Orangotango is spicy and savory on the nose, revealing nuances of shaved ginger and wet stone that give way to musky dried apricots. The palate is soft and round, excelling through a core of zesty acidity as ripe orchard fruits swirl beneath an air of minty herbs. It cleans up nicely, with a slightly saline character and pretty inner florals that linger long. (EG)

The 2022 La Colline Rouge is an orange/bronze-colored white based on a field blend composed of Pinot Gris, Muscat and Riesling. Vinified on the mash for nine months in an amphora, the wine opens with a clear, delicate, fresh and elegant, still yeasty bouquet with limestone notes intermingled with fruit aromas of red pears, berries, oranges and tropical fruits. Very elegant, intense and complex on the palate, this is a tight, rich, long and complex, bone-dry orange wine that was bottled in September 2023 without the addition of sulfur dioxide. 13% stated alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.(SR)

Kabaj (Ka-bye) have farmed their vineyards for many generations. When Katja Kabaj met French oenologist Jean-Michel Morel after his stint at an Italian winery, they fell in love and eventually married. Jean-Michel brought some of those Italian and French sensibilities to the winery along with his fondness for working with amphorae. Those who have tasted Kabaj whites know that these wine range from light to full skin contact for the whites and the Rebula is probably one of their most noteworthy. It is aged for 30 days on the skin and then for about a year in neutral barrels before bottling. Rebula is the Slovenian name for Ribolla Gialla and it is a grape that takes well to this style of winemaking. Honeyed texture with beautiful phenolics of lemon pith, tangerine skin and passion fruit tea. It is in the "orange" category of wines but maintains its fresh, lively appeal. *Natural Wine* *Orange Wine*

The Borgo Savaian "Masarêt" Orange (1L) is a texturally striking, highly energetic liter-format orange wine crafted by Stefano Bastiani in the rolling, marl-dominant hills of Cormòns, right near the Slovenian border in Friuli. While the estate is widely recognized for its "Aransat" bottling, the "Masarêt" liter selection ups the ante on regional authenticity, utilizing a classic, traditional white blend of 70% Friulano, 15% Ribolla Gialla, and 15% Malvasia Istriana.The hand-harvested fruit undergoes an extensive skin-contact maceration for up to 60 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled 18°C ($64^\circ\text{F}$), extracting a deep phenolic profile without picking up bitter, coarse edges. Following spontaneous malolactic fermentation in early spring, 70% of the wine is raised in clean stainless steel to lock in raw varietal energy, while the remaining 30% is rested in third-use French oak barriques to soften the mid-palate and knit the structural components together.In the glass, it pours a deep, intense amber-gold with copper highlights. The nose is extraordinarily complex, layered, and deeply savory, leaping with dried apricots, bruised yellow peaches, and candied orange peel, beautifully intertwined with honeyed chamomile, toasted walnuts, and a distinct, wild whiff of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, this is a beautifully chiseled, medium-bodied orange wine that hits with a sharp, vertical line of natural acidity. The palate is defined by the oily texture of the

The 2023 The New Chapter is a blend of 70% Gewurztraminer with 30% Pinot Gris. It macerated for ten days on skins, then aged for nine months on steel and was bottled with a dash of Sylvaner to soften the phenolics and without any addition of sulfur dioxide. This is bright orange and alive with the lychee and rose aromas of Gewurztraminer on the nose. Its perfumed nature continues on the palate, where this is fused with a smooth, firm phenolic frame and supple freshness. The lychee fruit note is front and center, bound with lemony freshness, while the finish is bone dry.(AK)

Quivering with fragrant florals, fresh orchard fruits and passionfruit nuance that enrobes the soft, succulence of the palate. Expressive and complex with a fine seam of grapefruit acidity that carries the finely-tuned aromas to the finish. *Platinum Medal - 2026 Decater World Wine Awards*

Of the six Pinot Noirs from New Zealand to feature in our Top 50 selections since 2018, this is the third to come from Wairarapa’s Martinborough (the other three, unsurprisingly, have been Central Otago wines). This is an uncompromisingly dark wine that plays to New Zealand’s strengths in terms of purity and vivacity of fruit: raspberry, cherry and plum come streaming from the glass, and the fine meshing of fruit and oak in this wine adds to its lustre and appeal. In the mouth, the wine is both long and broad but not in any way clumsy, and the fruit flavours (raspberry to the fore again) are hypnotic. Svelte tannins are barely palpable, so there’s no textural barrier to entry. *2025 Decanter World Wine Awards - Best in Show*

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2000 La Fleur Morange, St-Emilion (93RP). 93 points Robert Parker: "This is a property I first started watching very carefully with this vintage, and I have loved just about everything that has been produced. Dense ruby/purple, the wine is a modern style of St.-Emilion, with superb ripeness, lots of color, and rich, heady black fruits intermixed with some toasty oak, licorice, and spice. Its expansive, multi-dimensional mouthfeel is opulent, sumptuous, and just beginning to hit full maturity. Drink it over the next 20 years." (06/10)

Strikingly pretty nose with this really pure and bright cherry singing through everything else, so incredibly lush and ripe and then everything else comes crashing in like a wave. There's so many little nuances in the back and sides of the nose, leather, tobacco, cacao, dried herbs, brambley earth, rosehips, and a little bit of something between white flowers and violets. Striped violets. It's definitely benefitted a lot opening up over the last few hours since we had the tasting, but I loved it then too. The palate again has this super pure and singing cherry note, but it's more dried than ripe, and again around it everything else fills in the other pieces, there's definitely some barrel roundness and spice, little touches of blueberry, dusty earth, black tea, a little bit of graphite, and then a little hint of tar on the lingering finish. You really kind of want to find faults with wines that at first glance seem overpriced and then you run into a wine like this that is super beautiful and you understand why it costs what it costs. This was great, super magnificent and I think with some age it would be even more spectacular. Yes.

This is a classic California zinfandel with a warm, ripe-fruit character and intriguing nuances of wild sage, blackberries and sun-baked earth. Moderate tannins and supportive acidity keep it fresh and linear, and bode well for further aging. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Looking toned and sleek, aromas of crisp apple and white nectarine fruit are wrapped in the tiniest hint of gunflint reduction. The acidity is finely balanced, giving the palate a vibrant, succulent edge. This could very easily have sat in the subtle and stylish flight. (JS)

97+ points. The 2021 Le Sol is spicy and detailed. Where the 2020 is open-weave and attractive, the 2021 is tighter, more focused and less "available" for obsessive unpicking (as I am wont to do for you, here). There's raw cocoa, blueberry, finely ground black pepper, orange peel, musk stick, layers of blackberry, mulberry, blood, ferrous notes and a hint of pencil shaving. This is a tightly coiled wine, one that has much unfurling to do, both in the cellar over time and in the glass today. Kaleidoscopic, savory and complex, this is another exciting wine from Craggy Range across the superstar 2020 and 2021 vintages. The exciting thing about the Le Sol is that there is SO MUCH flavor, without weight or density. It is pure concentration, but it leaves an impression of levity and litheness. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. (EL)

Confession: Grange has never been my favourite of the Penfolds portfolio (I am a St Henri girl) but I’ve been converted. And if ever a vintage were to turn me, 2021 was always going to be the one, heralded by many in South Australia as a ‘vintage of a lifetime’. Sourced from sites across the Barossa Valley (66%), McLaren Vale (26%) and Clare Valley (8%), it is a blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, which spends 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads, and has already integrated seamlessly into the opulent fruit. My initial impressions, hurriedly typed, start with a string of descriptors that detail just how seductive it is already: “Wow! Exotic, inky, generous, silky, ripe, velvety. Immense. Incredible. The whole package!” (My colleague Georgie Hindle wrote: “Classy and so sophisticated. Like looking at a gorgeous man in a tuxedo.”) The trademark Grange volatile acidity presents itself as macerated balsamic strawberries, tapenade and tarmac, joining mouthfilling silky tannins and sumptuous aromas and flavours of boysenberry, root beer, mocha, salted liquorice and crème caramel. If you can ignore its siren call from the cellar, it easily has three to five decades of life ahead. (TG)
