«Abtsberg» Spätlese, VDP Grosse Lage, Maximin Grunhaus, Mosel, 2018, Germany
100% Riesling (risotto)
This late harvest cuvée offer generous green apple fragrances with a touch of confit citrus. The sweetness is balanced with a bright acidity, a hint of green herbs and a delicate minerality.
Côte du Jura «Tradition», Domaine Rolet, Jura, 2015, France
50% Savagnin, 50% Chardonnay (choux bun)
This is a beautiful, oxidized wine with outstanding flavours of walnut, curry and citrus. The acidity and the texture of the wine, combined with its very opulent fragrances, bring a beautiful balance.
Lytton Spring, Ridge Estate, 2020, California, USA
79% Zinfandel, 11% petie syrah, 10% carignan (partridge)
A full-bodied red wine with a very fruity palate with notes of plums and blackberries to bring depth, but also tasteful hints of pepper and a subtle liquorice undertone.
Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Moelleux «Saint Albert», Cave de Crouseilles, Jurançon, 2017, France
Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu (honey)
Lightly sweet, this nectar, harvested every year on Albert’s Day, offers a beautiful, honeyed taste. There is a gently acidity with a generous passion fruit aroma, a hint of sweet spices and citrus.
