Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2019
The Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2019 is a benchmark South African white wine, crafted from premium vineyards in Durbanville and Darling. Widely regarded as one of the finest Sauvignon Blanc vintages in recent history, 2019 offered moderate days and cool evenings—ideal conditions for expressive, balanced fruit. This wine bursts with lively, herbaceous aromas and layered notes of tropical fruit, citrus and freshly cut grass. On the palate it is crisp and concentrated, with green herbal nuances complementing ripe exotic fruit. The finish is long, intense and elegant, reflecting both terroir and expert craftsmanship. A serious Sauvignon Blanc with excellent ageing potential, it will reward careful cellaring over the next few years. Whether enjoyed young for its vibrancy or matured for added complexity, this wine exemplifies Kleine Zalze’s dedication to quality and refinement. 86pts - Robert Parker
Pradio Priara Pinot Grigio 2024
The Cielo family’s estate, located in the prestigious Friuli Grave DOC, is renowned for producing high-quality white and sparkling wines. With vineyards planted with Glera, Pinot Grigio, Friulano, and Sauvignon Blanc, the estate combines centuries of tradition with meticulous vineyard management to produce wines of exceptional freshness, elegance, and aromatic intensity. Friuli Grave’s alluvial soils and ideal climate contribute to the region’s reputation as one of Italy’s finest areas for white wine production. Winemaking Meticulous grape selection is followed by soft pressing, with fermentation using a combination of yeasts and partial malolactic fermentation. The wine rests on noble lees and is aged in stainless steel before a minimum of three months in bottle to develop complexity and freshness. Tasting Note Pradio Estate Pinot Grigio shows a bright, saturated straw-yellow hue and a complex bouquet of wildflowers, ripe apple, and banana.
