From the Rias Baixas region of Spain, this wine reveals a medium gold hue as well as crisp notes of honeyed citrus, salty mineral, and baked apple. It's medium-bodied, balanced, and finishes with a creamy-texture thanks to eight months of lees ageing. Rated 93 points by James Suckling. A great pairing to our Shrimp and Lobster feature.
2018 El Enemigo Chardonnay (Mendoza, Argentina)
Rated 97 points by James Suckling! This beautiful white has a dense palate of ripe lemons, Gala apples, and Asian pear. Rich and complex yeast notes and hints of oak and flor. Leesy, racy, a touch of saline, with a core of acidity. Full body. Great length with light buttery notes.
From Marlborough, New Zealand, this biodynamic producer's Petit Clos Pinot is the color of freshly squeezed cherry juice, and the vibrant nose offers loads of plump summer berries just off the bush, along with elegant floral and spice undertones. The palate is equally alive, the juicy fruit wound by firm, textural tannins. This vintage, an excellent one in Marlborough, gives particular bang for buck. Rated 94 points by Wine Enthusiast.
