The 2019 Bianco O…… (Oslavje) is airy and oral with a lovely touch of fresh mint that gives way to young peach and white owers. This is distinctly savory on the palate, with a tart lemon rind tinge, giving way to young kiwi and mineral tones, more like...

2022 Susana Esteban Foudre Alentejano (750ml)
We recently received a small allocation of the coveted "Foudre" bottling by esteemed Portuguese producer Susana Esteban. Up until today, the only white wine that Revista de Vinhos, Portugal's leading wine publication, had ever given a perfect score to was the 2018 vintage of Susana Esteban's Foudre, her remarkable old vine white field blend aged in a single Alsatian cask from 1961.
For the second time ever, Revista de Vinhos gave a white wine a perfect score, and again it was for Susana's Foudre, this time for the just released 2022 vintage. (Sadly, because she only has one foudre in which the wine ages for 18 months, she only makes the wine in even numbered years!).
The wine is sold out in Portugal.
