Foradori Morei Cilindrica
$74.99
At the age of just 20, Elisabetta Foradori (above) found herself in charge of the family winery, based in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains in Trentino, way back in 1984. It’s been quite a journey for her, and over time she has moved in a more natural direction, looking to get the ultimate expression of the place and the main variety here, Teroldego. In pursuit of this expression, she converted to biodynamics in 2002, and was certfied in 2009. There are 28 hectares of vines here, with three-quarters of this Teroldego (they did a mass selection and so now have 15 different clones, plus grew some from seeds), plus Manzoni Bianco (a cross of Pinot Blanc and Riesling), Nosiola and Pinot Grigio, with production around 150 000 bottles a year. These vineyards are surrounded by mountains, and there are two main soil types: calcareous clay and alluvial. While many in the region grow on a high-yielding pergola system, most of her vines are vertically trellised. Since 2012, Emilio, one of her four children, has worked with her, and she has gradually taken a more natural direction. Part of this direction is a move towards using clay. Elevage is in a mix of large wood (oak and acacia), and increasingly these clay amphorae (tinajas from Spain, which are unlined). Jamie Goode

Tasting Notes
The vivacity of the Alvarinho variety remains in the fruity character of this wine. The flavor is expressed with elegance and harmony in every nuance of peach, apricot and tropical fruits. In the aroma, floral nuances complete the evocation of the Monção & Melgaço landscape.
De Deffaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Leche
$104.99
Finding high-quality, perfectly aged Premier Cru Chablis from a highly-rated producer is rare, but that is exactly what this is. Lovely minerality and baked apple/citrus fruit abound. In addition, it's made in a natural style with little to no sulphur but the wine is more than stable, it's quite perfect.
