Recaredo 2018 Terrers Brut Nature

Serve with oysters, jamón, grilled fish or aged cheeses.
Jean Foillard 2023 Morgon Côte du Py
$79.99Dried cherry and prune lead a soft, unctuous palate, with concentrated fruit carried by a supple texture.

Foradori 2018 Fontanasanta Nosiola 750 mL
$82.99Green apple and pear meet fresh herbs, light flowers and a measured touch of honey. The palate is clear and lively, with skin contact bringing gentle phenolic texture rather than heaviness.
