About

Grenache-led single-vineyard Châteauneuf-du-Pape (80% Grenache with Cinsault and Mourvèdre) from Le Pied de Baud, one hectare in the appellation's northern sector where old vines root deep into river gravel and clay laid down by the prehistoric Rhône. Eighteen months in large foudres and terracotta jars keeps the oak out of the way. Raspberry and cherry on the nose, supple and velvety on a medium- to full-bodied palate — fleshier and more powerful than Santa Duc's other Châteauneufs. Wine Advocate rated the 2021 at 93-95 points with a window out to 2040.

Producer note

Domaine Santa Duc was founded in 1874 and is best known for Gigondas, farming organically and biodynamically across its Southern Rhône holdings.

Il Paradiso di Frassina Brunello di Montalcino

Il Paradiso di Frassina

Il Paradiso di Frassina is the Tuscan estate famous for piping classical music — particularly Mozart — through speakers in the vineyard, based on the theory that the music encourages vine growth and discourages pests. Beyond the curiosity, the Brunello itself is serious: Sangiovese Grosso aged five years before release, concentrated cherry, leather, tobacco, earth, with structure to age another decade.

Meerea Park Hell Hole Shiraz 2023

Meerea Park

Single-vineyard Shiraz from the Kindred family's 1960s-planted Homestead vineyard on Palmers Lane, Pokolbin — a name that itself comes from the Hungarian for 'in Hell'. The low-cropped, event-free 2023 harvest gave exceptional fruit: deep crimson, dark berry aromatics, and a medium-bodied-plus palate of spicy plum and black cherry with gentle meaty, earthy tones and al-dente tannins on a long, streamlined finish. A classic Hunter style with cellaring potential of twenty years and more.

Givry, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France

Francois Lumpp Givry Rouge 1Er Cru Crausot 2023

Domaine François Lumpp

Pinot Noir from just under a hectare of the Crausot premier cru at the southern tip of the Givry appellation, where highly calcareous soils give wines of finesse and precision. Fully destemmed, fermented in tank, then matured a year in French oak (around 70% new) and rested several months in tank before bottling. The 2023 shows bright red cherry, wild strawberry, violet and subtle spice over fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity and a focused, mineral finish — elegant rather than full-bodied, and built to cellar.
