2022
Meyer Family 2022 Gewürztraminer
Red rose petals, fresh ginger and lychee form a fragrant, immediately expressive nose. The palate stays fresh and dry in feel, with pear and tropical citrus bringing brightness to the aromatic fruit. A savoury Okanagan undertone and gentle varietal spice add definition through a clean, lively finish.
Tantalus 2022 Bear Chardonnay
Sea breeze, oyster shell and lemon custard open with pear, apple crumble and a subtle green-floral lift. The palate is crisp yet rounded, layering honeydew melon, Ambrosia apple and sweet basil over bright, yuzu-like acidity. Lively texture carries the fruit cleanly, finishing fresh and saline with discreet oak spice.
40 Knots 2022 Pinot Gris
Crisp pear and green apple lead, joined by bright citrus and a light mineral edge. The palate is clean, lively and neatly balanced, with a slender texture that keeps the fruit precise rather than sweet. A refreshing mineral finish gives it a composed, coastal feel. Serve well chilled with shellfish, grilled white fish, leafy salads or lightly dressed vegetable dishes.
Clos du Soleil 2022 Fumé Blanc
Lunessence 2022 Gamay
Liquid cherry, raspberry and red plum open with light spice, herbs and a subtle woodland note. Dry and medium-bodied, the palate turns savoury and mouth-watering, bringing baked cherry, plum, cracked pepper and fine herbs into focus. Bright acidity and a mineral finish give the wine length and energy. Serve slightly chilled with mushroom risotto, roast duck, quail or charcuterie.
Apara 2022 Syrah
Brambly red and dark berries open with a clear white-pepper lift and stem-derived spice. Light on its feet, the palate is crunchy and refreshing, with whole-cluster energy keeping the fruit vivid. Neutral oak sits quietly in the background, allowing bright berry flavours and savoury spice to carry through a clean, lively finish.
Osoyoos Larose 2022 Petales d’Osoyoos
Exuberant and muscular, with savoury spice running through a ripe Bordeaux-style profile. The five-variety blend gives the palate breadth and layered structure, while youthful energy keeps the finish lively rather than heavy. Decant for 30 to 45 minutes before serving with roast lamb, grilled beef or mushroom dishes.
Unsworth Vineyards 2022 Pinot Noir
Bright red fruit and floral notes lead a light-bodied, almost ethereal profile, with baking spice adding warmth. The palate is clean and balanced, shaped by lively acidity and fully integrated tannins. Graceful and food-friendly, it works especially well with grilled salmon, roast chicken, root vegetables or mushroom dishes, and can take a slight chill.
Rust 2022 Gamay
Juicy raspberry and red cherry lead a bright, vibrant palate, with a light touch of spice bringing savoury contrast. Fresh acidity keeps the fruit lively and the finish clean, energetic and easy to return to. Lightly chilled, it is a versatile match for charcuterie, roasted squash or richly seasoned vegetable dishes.
Herdade do Rocim 2022 Fresh From Amphora Nat’Cool Branco
Co-op of Pico 2022 Arinto dos Acores
Fresh tropical fruit leads into a subtle oak note, bringing gentle breadth without obscuring the wine's brightness. Refreshing acidity and clear minerality give the palate a precise, energetic shape. Persistent and distinctly salty through the finish, it is a polished match for shellfish, sushi, grilled fish or firm cheese.
Ilha do Pico 2022 Terras de Lava Branco
Energetic and savoury, with a taut line of acidity and pronounced salinity defining the palate. Arinto dos Acores provides the core, supported by Fernao Pires, Verdejo and Moscatel for a layered, maritime profile. Clean and focused through the finish, it is a natural fit with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish or simply dressed vegetables.
Mateus Nicolau de Almeida 2022 Trans Douro Express Cima Corgo
A lightly vegetal note of damp grass meets white pepper, red berries and restrained spice. The palate is broad and smooth, with bright fruit and savoury freshness keeping the texture lively rather than heavy. Subtle earthy tones carry into a gently spicy finish. Serve slightly cool with roast lamb, grilled sausages, lentil stew or rustic mushroom dishes.
Enate 2022 Chardonnay 234
Green apple, ripe peach and fennel lead, with guava and passion fruit adding an exotic lift over a subtle mineral background. Full and gently unctuous, the palate remains clean and fresh through lively acidity. A lightly honeyed finish lingers without feeling heavy. Serve with pasta, white meat, fish or shellfish.
Orto 2022 Blanco Montsant
A textured Mediterranean white with pear, white peach and citrus, accented by wild herbs and a hint of almond. The palate is silky but lively, with fresh acidity and a mineral line carrying the orchard fruit into a long, savoury finish. Versatile at the table, it is particularly well suited to seafood, grilled fish, vegetables or simply prepared poultry.
Verónica Ortega 2022 Quite Mencía
Mulberry and brambly fruit lead, joined by floral, licorice and herbal notes. The palate is supple and finely textured, with balanced tannins and an easy flow that keeps the fruit clear. Deep enough for roast pork or grilled mushrooms yet fresh enough for charcuterie, it is expressive without excess weight.
Cinco Leguas 2022 La Maldición Tinto Fino Vinos de Madrid
Light, dry and rustic in the best sense, with an easy flow and enough freshness to keep the palate lively. High-elevation Tempranillo gives the wine its structure, while Malvar from similarly elevated vineyards adds lift to the blend. The texture is unforced and approachable, closing cleanly with gentle grip and a distinctly thirst-quenching feel.
Gérard Bertrand 2022 Heritage An 77 Clairette du Languedoc
Floral aromas of white flowers and honeysuckle open into ripe peach, Williams pear and other yellow fruit, with citrus and a faint almond note. The palate is refreshing and rounded, with an unctuous mid-palate balanced by crisp acidity and a clean, savoury mineral finish. Serve well chilled with grilled Mediterranean fish, shellfish, olives or fresh cheese.
