Dinner Party - Discovery (4-pack)
This pack features:
(Mosel, Germany) Staffelter Hof - PortuGeezer Pet Nat 2022
Atypical blend of two Portuguese varieties - Arinto and Fernão Pires - that Jan Klein planted in the Mosel over 6 years ago as part of what he calls a 'climate change' experiment. The result is absolutely brilliant. A wine of pure class and elegance. Great balance of texture and fruit underpinned by a potent backbone of acidity that keeps it incredibly drinkable. Lovely texture and creamy bubbles. One of a kind, and a must-try.
(Burgenland, Austria) Joiseph - Mischkultur 2021
A field-blend of 6 varieties, meaning that they are all grown together in the same vineyard, harvested together, and vinified together. With a touch of skin contact this wine is fresh and highly drinkable but also has just enough texture, a lovely aromatic profile, and is very immediate. Joiseph is a collaboration between three friends that started with the 2015 vintage and has grown from a tiny hectare to nearly five hectares. The wines across the range are distinct, wildly exciting, and full of energy.
(Chinon, Loire, France) La Niverdiere - Renaissance 2018
A pure and energetic Cabernet Franc from one of the region's up and coming talents. Martine Budé's wines have such a distinct delicate touch, and are the epitome of purity. Juicy dark fruits with savoury notes, a soft structure, and a long spicy finish. All of her wines are vinfied in infusion style and aged in concrete vats to conserve a true expression of her terroir.
(Kampatl, Austria) Nibiru - Rosé Auslese 2022 (Sweet)
Super unusual yet incredibly moreish and drinkable. A late-harvest Merlot crafted into a delicately sweet and light dessert wine that is one of the most delicious we've ever tasted. Probably the most perfect pairing for an Eton Mess you could hope for, but versatile and delicious - even on its own!
