E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc 2021

Hermitage

May 19, 2026 - E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc is a rare gem from one of France’s most renowned appellations. While white Rhône wines are scarce, Guigal’s focus on this style makes them a standout, with whites making up 25% of their production. This wine blends explosive floral and fruit aromas with intense minerality and a silky concentration of flavors. Made primarily from Marsanne, with a hint of Roussanne, it finishes remarkably fresh, capturing the warmth and complexity of the Northern Rhône. This is a true discovery for those seeking elegance and depth.

Dog Point Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Marlborough

May 18, 2026 - Dog Point’s Pinot Noir is a head-turner because of the immense reputation they have as a Sauvignon Blanc producer. Their Pinot is not just good – it’s one of the very best in New Zealand, and truly world class. The intensive vineyard work they carry out to produce distinctive Sauvignon Blanc results in fantastically complex Pinot fruit when carried out in clay hillsides of Marlborough. And, in turn, their use of wild yeasts and long aging gives the wine a generosity and integration that provide both easy and intellectual pleasure.
