Baga | Bairrada, Beira Interior / Portugal
Vintage: 2020  |  Size: 750ml
Organic · Natural Fermentation

Located one hundred kilometers south of Porto, Bairrada was long overshadowed — its grapes shipped north to bolster Port production when English demand ran high. Today, a new generation of producers is reclaiming the region’s identity, and Luis Patrão of Vadio is among the most compelling of them. The name “Vadio” is Portuguese slang for idler or dreamer — a fitting tribute to a winemaking philosophy rooted in patience, organics, and letting the land speak.

Baga is Bairrada’s great indigenous red grape: firm, assertive, and full of personality. In Vadio’s hands — with organically farmed vineyards and fermentation from naturally occurring yeasts — it reveals its finest self: sinewy red fruits, cedary side notes, and a high-energy acid lift that makes it one of Portugal’s most food-friendly reds. The 2020 is fresh and vibrant, with currant and berry fruit that is genuinely pleasant and endlessly versatile at the table.

“Fresh berry fruits, currants, really pleasant and enjoyable with many foods.”
— Debra, 67Wine

Pairs with: Roast suckling pig, grilled lamb, duck rice, aged sheep’s milk cheese, or anything off the grill.

Val de Mer by Patrick Piuze Chablis 2025 is a beautifully focused expression of Chardonnay, bringing together fruit from three distinct parcels in the Chablis region: Des Couverts in the village of Chablis, Préhy near Courgis, and Lignorelles.

Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel, the wine emphasizes freshness, purity and the naturally mineral character of Chablis. The absence of oak keeps the fruit bright and transparent, allowing the distinctive character of the region to remain firmly at the forefront.

Tasting Notes
Bright and refreshing, with lively citrus, green apple and fresh orchard-fruit character accented by subtle floral and stony notes. The palate is crisp and energetic, showing excellent balance between juicy fruit, vibrant acidity and classic Chablis minerality. A subtle saline quality carries through the clean, persistent finish.

Vineyard Sources
The 2025 Val de Mer Chablis is assembled from three parcels situated in different parts of the Chablis appellation. Des Couverts is located in the village of Chablis, Préhy lies near Courgis, and the third parcel comes from Lignorelles. Bringing these sites together creates a broader expression of Chablis while maintaining the freshness, tension and mineral character associated with the appellation.

About Val de Mer
Val de Mer is Patrick Piuze's second winery, co-owned with Moutard-Diligent and based in Tonnerre near Chablis. Although separate from Patrick Piuze's namesake winery, Val de Mer follows a very similar winemaking philosophy. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermentations begin spontaneously with native yeasts, and the emphasis remains on transparent expressions of Chardonnay and Chablis terroir.

One important distinction is that Val de Mer works with different vineyard sources from Patrick Piuze's namesake wines. While Piuze frequently bottles village-level Chablis from individual terroirs, Val de Mer takes a more traditional approach by blending multiple parcels to create a broader expression of the appellation.

About Patrick Piuze
Patrick Piuze has become one of the most distinctive figures in modern Chablis, known for his meticulous attention to individual vineyard sites and a restrained approach in the cellar. His wines emphasize freshness, precision and terroir rather than overt winemaking influence.

Val de Mer extends this philosophy into a range of wines designed to deliver classic Chablis character with excellent accessibility and value. The village Chablis is fermented and aged in tank, preserving Chardonnay's natural freshness and highlighting the mineral personality of the region.

Food Pairing
An exceptionally versatile white wine for the table. Pair with oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, crab, sushi and sashimi, grilled or roasted white fish, roast chicken and fresh cheeses. Its bright acidity and mineral character also make it an excellent aperitif.

Why We Like It
This is classic, highly drinkable Chablis with Patrick Piuze's touch: fresh, precise and mineral, without unnecessary oak influence. Sourced from three different Chablis parcels and aged entirely in stainless steel, it offers an excellent introduction to the Val de Mer style and tremendous versatility at the table. 

Winemaker Description

This is a very concentrated Brunello that combines intense notes of blood orange with a hint of chinotto mixed with complex Mediterranean spices (Helichrysum Thyme and Broom Flowers). It is a wine with a strong nerve, a vibrant acid structure that sustains a concentrated mouthfeel, rich in silky tannins. The finish is extremely long and soft. 

Expert Reviews

94 Points James Suckling | Dusty notes with crushed gravel and dried tea leaves are a prelude to aromas of fresh button mushrooms and hints of fennel. Savory mushrooms and olives, followed by firm, fine-grained tannins. Structured and full-bodied.

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck | The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino has aromatics of menthol and medicinal herbs, brushed leather, and black cherry. The palate is dark fruited without weight, marked with dried blackberry, black tea, dried herbs, and classically balanced structure. It is sourced from three different vineyard sites of various exposition on the hill of Montalcino. This will be ready to drink a touch earlier and be great to check in on over the next 15 years. Drink 2022-2036.

93 Points Wine Spectator | Aromas of iron, blood and cherry lead off in this smooth and vibrant red, with a well of dark fruit—black cherry and blackberry—settling in on the palate. Offers a dusting of dark chocolaty tannins on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2043. 1,500 cases imported.

91 Points Decanter | Bringing together grapes from diverse vineyards throughout Montalcino, this midweight, almost-approachable Brunello is focused and vibrant. It takes a bit of coaxing on the nose then divulges sage, orange rind and fennel. Brisk acidity and chalky tannins meet crisp red currant and cranberry, cleansing the palate nicely. A delightful jumping off point to Val di Suga’s single-vineyard offerings, which COO and winemaker Andrea Lonardi has been refining since 2012.

Val di Suga · Brunello di Montalcino DOCG · 2020

Val di Suga · Rosso di Montalcino DOC · Tuscany · Italy · 2023

Val di Suga is one of Montalcino’s most storied estates, dating to the 1960s and the only producer making three single-vineyard Brunellos from three distinct terroirs: Vigna del Lago in the northeast, Vigna Spuntali in the southwest, and Poggio al Granchio in the southeast. The Rosso di Montalcino draws from younger vines across all three — approximately 40% Vigna del Lago, 30% Poggio al Granchio, and 30% Vigna Spuntali — blending the microclimate diversity of the estate into a single, earlier-drinking expression of Sangiovese Grosso. Aged six months in large Slavonian oak, it is the approachable face of Val di Suga’s Brunello pedigree.

The 2023 vintage in Montalcino was defined by a well-balanced growing season — mild spring, warm summer moderated by ventilation and timely rainfall, and no extreme heat peaks — yielding Sangiovese of exceptional clarity, harmony, and freshness. The Rosso opens with a lively nose of red berry fruits, cherries, redcurrants, and a whisper of spice. On the palate, it is full and plush with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a juicy, lingering finish. Bright, expressive, and built for the table.

Valdespino · Macharnudo Alto, Jerez · 375ml Half Bottle

Valdespino Ynocente Fino is a dry, single-vineyard Sherry made from Palomino Fino grown in Macharnudo Alto. This 375ml half bottle offers a concentrated expression of Jerez, with pronounced salinity, chalky intensity and an austere, mineral structure.

Producer & Vineyard

Valdespino’s flagship Fino comes from Macharnudo Alto, a vineyard distinguished by its pure white albariza soils. Fermentation takes place in 600-liter wooden casks without added yeasts, a traditional approach that sets the wine apart.

Tasting Notes

Iodine and salt mingle with ripe white fruit, nuts and exotic spices. Dry and firmly structured, the wine’s stony character and saline intensity make it a compelling companion to seafood.

Expert Review · 

Wine & Spirits, 95 Points | Inocente is Valdespino’s flagship, a wine from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard, where the soil is pure white albariza. It ferments in 600-liter wooden casks without added yeasts, a practice that has become increasingly rare in Jerez. The intensity of the wine’s salinity is remarkable—iodine and salt—coming together with ripe white fruit, scents of nuts and exotic spices. The structure is dry and austere, like drinking the juice of stones. This will last for a decade in the cellar, but it’s impossible to hold onto a bottle if there’s raw seafood nearby.

Historical Expert Review · Autumn 2016 Magnum Bottling

The following review concerns a special magnum release, not the current 375ml bottling.

Robert Parker, 94+ Points | As with many other wines from the José Estévez group, there is a special bottling of Valdespino's flagship NV Fino Inocente in magnum, but in this case they have kept the bottles for six months as the wine is from the saca otoño 2016, the autumn bottling from 2016. So the wine is offered with some extra bottle age. It has all that you expect from Inocente, a long aging wine fermented in bota from grapes grown exclusively in the Macharnudo Alto vineyard and bottled with an average age of ten years. All the textbook aromas and flavors are there, coupled with the elegance and mineral intensity the Macharnudo white chalky soils provide. Customers who purchase one of this scarce magnums probably know Inocente already. This will have a longer development in bottle.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled with oysters, raw seafood, grilled shrimp, olives or salted almonds.

Albillo is the soul of Ribera del Duero's white winemaking — a grape long prized by legendary producers like Vega Sicilia for the aromatic intensity it lends to their reds. At Bodegas Valduero, it takes center stage. The Valduero Blanco de Albillo Ribera del Duero 2025 is widely regarded as one of the finest 100% Albillo bottlings in the appellation: simultaneously rich and light, with a rare balance of fruit generosity and mineral precision.

Behind this wine is a unique family trio — Gregorio García Álvarez alongside siblings Yolanda and Carolina García Viadero — the first generation of winemakers to carry the Valduero name. Their commitment to the Albillo variety is a quiet act of preservation, honoring a grape that has shaped Ribera del Duero for centuries.

In the glass, the 2025 shows a very light straw color, a testament to the variety's natural resistance to oxidation. The nose is fresh and expressive, with pineapple, grapefruit, and the characteristic floral lift of Albillo. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced — neither heavy nor austere — with a clean, mineral-driven finish that lingers.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Pineapple, grapefruit, and delicate floral aromatics
• Palate: Fresh, balanced, and mineral-driven with bright citrus and stone fruit
• Finish: Clean, precise, and lingering

Expert Review - Vintage 2020

Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points | The 2020 Tierra Alta A 2 Maderas was the producer’s old Crianza, but they are not using that anymore designation, and this youngest is its vintage in the market. With 15 months in French and American oak, it’s powerful and complex in dense black cherry, black licorice, and firm tannins, medium-bodied in style, with 10-15 years more to go. The texture is slate nearly, granitic, seasoned in dried herb.

Winemaker Description

Tierra Alta 2 Maderas de Bodegas Valduero is a serious Spanish red, made by one of the most recognized houses in Ribera del Duero. It stands out for a concentrated and elegant style, where the use of two types of wood seeks aromatic complexity and structure, respecting the fruity profile of the grape and the marked continental character of the area.

Color: Intense pecota red with high and bright layer violet trim, which reflects the typical concentration of the continental climate reds of the Castilian plateau. The tear is dense and leisurely, according to the structured style that characterizes Valduero and its aging wines in different types of wood.

Nose: Aromas of ripe black fruit, such as plums and blackberries, are combined with spicy notes and memories of cocoa and vanilla from the passage through two types of barrels. Balsamic nuances and a slightly torrefied background also arise, in the line of the reds of the Ribera del Duero made with a vocation of complexity and storage.

Mouth: Wide and enveloping entrance, with firm but polished tannins and an acidity that supports the whole well, reflecting the extreme climate of the region. The work in two woods brings volume, creamy touches and a long finish with memories of ripe fruit, sweet spices and a subtle smoked touch, very in keeping with the powerful and elegant style of Valduero.

Valduero has a clear purpose: to elaborate Reservas and Gran Reservas. Valduero 2 Maderas ages for three years. Intense, lively garnet with a high colored. 

Memo Summary Notes

The Valduero Tierra Alta en 2 Maderas 2020 is a powerhouse Tempranillo from one of Ribera del Duero's most respected family-owned estates. Formerly labeled simply as "Valduero Crianza," this wine is part of their "Tierra Alta" (Highlands) collection, sourced from vineyards at altitudes exceeding 800 meters.

The Wine Enthusiast 95 Points | Vasse Felix's self-titled middle range often represents the best value for money, in this reviewer's opinion. This is both an excellent example of the range's quality as well as of Margaret River's distinctive Cab style. Layered aromas of tangy redcurrant, raspberry and cranberry are woven with pencil lead, new pavement and tobacco leaf. There's a wonderful lift of crunchy currant fruit on the palate, which counterbalances the big smudgy, savory tannins.

The Wine Enthusiast 96 Points | A fabulous vintage of Filius, and a total bargain for this level of quality. Layered aromas appear from first sniff: plump currants and plums, dark chocolate, savory herbs and florals, graphite and a mineral, iodine-like nuance. In the mouth, there's bright fruit and silky texture, with savory, fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. Made to drink now or to age for several more years. A wonderful intro to this distinctive Aussie style.

Tasting Panel 92 Points  Befitting its name, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Petite Sirah is opaque in hue, but the palate is juicy, glossy, and lusciously crafted, unmasking notes of dark chocolate, sage, and blackberry licorice.

Expert Reviews - 2022 Release 

James Suckling writes 99 Points | Sweet-berry, walnut, licorice and violet aromas that follow through to a full body with round, chewy tannins that are polished and beautiful. Notes of iron, too. The tannins are broad and mouth filling, giving a caressing and exciting texture on the palate. If you give this a year to two to soften, it will deliver even greater richness and flavor. A blend of 2008, 2010 and 2011. Great after 2023.

Luis Gutiérrez of the The Wine Advocate writes 98 Points | The NV Único Reserva Especial 2022 Release is a blend of wines from 2008, 2010 and 2011, mostly Tinto Fino with some Cabernet Sauvignon mixing lots from the Único wines from those years. In the past, the blend was older vintages, but now it's wines that are around the same age as the Único. It has the complexity of mixing terroirs, vintages and grapes with parameters very similar to Único, 14.5% alcohol and good balance with a pH of 3.83 and 5.4 grams of acidity (measured in tartaric acid per liter). In the blend, they look for keeping the style of past blends, combining the more aged notes of the older wines and the freshness of the younger ones. I was very pleasantly surprised by the performance of this Reserva Especial, which seems to be going back to the character of the blends from yesteryear, with more finesse, elegance and nuance. This is perfumed, elegant, harmonious and balanced. It has very fine, already polished tannins and integrated acidity. 2008 and 2010 are cooler years, and they seem to give the blend this freshness and elegance. It has all the components, and especially the balance between all of them, to age nicely in bottle. 16,961 bottles and 201 magnums were filled in June 2018.

Winemaker Description 

Unico Reserva Especial bears witness to the past, it pays homage to the history of Spanish wine and their traditions. A non-vintage wine combining the balance between the best vintages and harvests, it faithfully reflects the magic of a legendary land. Unico Reserva Especial 2022 is a blend of the 2008, 2010, and 2011 vintages and a blend of 95 % Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is suitable for drinking now, but it can be aged for up to 40-60 years, if stored in the ideal conditions. It offers an infinite complexity that is gradually revealed, in every sip, the palate immensely silky and elegant. A true work of art!

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Vinous 94 Points | Pure Chardonnay from vines around 25 years old. The bright energy hits you with the first sniff — lift, brightness, and something immensely citric and pervasive. Exquisite shape: it glides and moves with agility, like a drop of liquid rolling across plumage — always entire, rounded, shining, smooth and mobile. The finish sinks into soil, draws you in, seasons the tongue with saltiness and floors you with incredible equanimity. Endless, profound, and ineffable. Bone-dry.

About the Wine

Velich Darscho is named after a smaller lake in the village near the estate in Burgenland, Austria. The fruit comes from vineyards that are 35–50 years old — significantly older than the Vinous note suggests (which references 25-year-old vines), reflecting the depth and complexity in the glass. This is Velich’s step up from the Tó cuvée, showing greater concentration, minerality, and aging potential.

Tasting & Pairings

Bright citrus energy, saltiness, soil-driven minerality, and an ineffably long finish. Bone-dry with exquisite shape and agility. Serve lightly chilled — this rewards patience in the glass as it opens.

• Roasted lobster or langoustines with brown butter — the wine’s richness and salinity are a perfect match.
• Roasted chicken with tarragon and crème fraîche — classic Chardonnay territory elevated by the wine’s minerality.
• Aged Comté or Gruyère — nutty, hard cheeses complement the wine’s depth and saline finish.

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Vinous 97 Points | Pure Chardonnay from the oldest vines of the estate, planted in 1959. Smoothness dominates the nose — almost salty hints of lanolin, a touch of Mirabelle and a lovely note of straw. The palate is intense, concentrated and pervasive, with uncompromising nakedness, dynamism and drive, dripping with lemon brightness, all bound up in earthiness reminiscent of fresh cep mushroom and profound, cooling limestone. Clarity is everything here. The finish is long, serene, touching and memorable. Bone-dry.

About the Wine

Velich Tiglat is the crown jewel of the Velich lineup — sourced from the estate’s original plantings from 1959 in Burgenland, Austria. The wine is fermented naturally and kept on full lees for at least 24 months, building extraordinary texture and complexity without compromising the bone-dry purity that defines the house style.

This is the pinnacle of the Velich range: Tó (young vines) → Darscho (35–50 year vines) → Tiglat (1959 vines). Each step up brings greater concentration, minerality, and aging potential.

Tasting & Pairings

Lanolin, Mirabelle, straw, lemon brightness, fresh cep mushroom, cooling limestone, and salt. Intense and concentrated yet profoundly clear. The finish is long, serene, and memorable. Serve lightly chilled — this demands time and attention in the glass.

• Lobster or scallops with brown butter — the wine’s concentration and lemon brightness elevate luxurious shellfish.
• Roasted turbot or Dover sole — noble white fish for a noble Chardonnay.
• Aged Comté (24+ months) — the depth and salinity of both are a stunning match.

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Vinous 92 Points | A blend of Chardonnay, Welschriesling and Sauvignon Blanc from the younger vines of the estate (~15 years old). Gentle nuttiness and a touch of tatami mat on the nose, very subtle and calm. With air, a hint of butter emerges. The palate is all clarity, all lightness and all brightness on a super-slender frame that is soothing and smooth. Bone-dry.

About the Wine

Velich Tó White takes its name from the Hungarian word for "lake" — a nod to the estate’s proximity to Neusiedlersee in Burgenland, Austria. The Tó cuvée is sourced from the estate’s younger vines (15–25 years old) and blends Chardonnay, Welschriesling, and Sauvignon Blanc into a wine of remarkable purity and restraint.

Velich is one of Burgenland’s most respected producers, known for precision winemaking and a deep connection to terroir.

Tasting & Pairings

Gentle nuttiness, tatami mat, butter, orchard fruit, and citrus. Super-slender, bone-dry, and soothing with bright clarity and a smooth finish. Serve well chilled.

• Seafood — oysters, ceviche, or grilled branzino — the wine’s slender frame and acidity are ideal.
• Roasted chicken with herbs — the subtle nuttiness and butter notes complement poultry beautifully.
• Soft-ripened cheese or fresh burrata — the bone-dry finish cleanses the palate between bites.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

The Wine Enthusiast by Jesica Vargas writes 90 Points |  Delicate sweet notes of nectarine introduce this lively wine. The palate offers white fruit flavors, balanced by moderate acidity, leading to a crisp finish.  

Winemaker Description 

An attractive greenish-yellow colour. Its ageing in foudres has lent it citrus and green chilli pepper aromas, as well as saline notes. In the mouth, it is very structured and tense thanks to its high acidity and minerality. The finish is clean and persistent, with a subtle saline note coming through. This highly complex Sauvignon Blanc tempts you to enjoy it with food.

Block 22 is located on the first terrace of the river Huasco. It has very old, stony soils from the river which have very special qualities: a little clay and a lot of calcareous soil – lime, calcium carbonate – white soils. Characterized by low yields of grapes with very concentrated fresh fruit. In the Atacama Desert in the Huasco valley, the temperatures were fresh, especially at night. Temperatures are kept low because of the constant cool morning breezes blowing in from the Pacific Ocean, as well as the classic “Camanchaca”, a dense fog which comes in from the ocean, helping to regulate the temperatures and ensure an optimum level of humidity in the atmosphere.

Memo Summary Notes

The Ventisquero Grey Glacier Sauvignon Blanc 2023 from the Longomilla Vineyard is a highly distinctive wine that pushes the boundaries of Chilean viticulture. Grown in the Atacama Desert—the driest place on Earth—this wine is defined by "extreme" conditions, resulting in a profile that is far more saline and mineral than your typical New Zealand or Casablanca Sauvignon Blanc.

Pair with

The Perfect Match: Fresh oysters, sea urchins, or ceviche. The salinity in the wine acts like a squeeze of lime on fresh seafood.

Ver Sacrum · Los Chacayes, Uco Valley · 2024

Ver Sacrum Gloria S is a 100% Garnacha from a single goblet-trained plot within the estate vineyard in Los Chacayes, Uco Valley. Hand-harvested fruit gives a perfumed, layered red with a soft texture and a light tannin backbone.

Producer & Terroir

Eduardo Soler and two friends founded Ver Sacrum in 2012 to grow and vinify Rhône varieties. Their approach favors fresh, lower-alcohol wines, lighter skin contact and native yeasts, with minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. All grapes are harvested by hand and most are foot-crushed, without corrections, filtration or pump-overs.

Their small Los Chacayes vineyard is planted to Grenache, Monastrell, Carignan, Roussanne, Marsanne, Mencía, Syrah, Teroldego and Nebbiolo.
