Southern Rhône New Releases
A tour of the southern Rhône in May was exciting. Quality was extremely high across the board: we are lucky (no we’re not, we earned this through intensive research, travel and tasting!) to be working with these growers. The 2025 whites, picked early, are all terrific. As for the red vintages, a cooler 2024 was sandwiched between two hot and dry summers, but there’s plenty of ripeness and generosity in that year’s wines too. These wines make perfect drinking as the evenings draw in and we switch to a heartier diet.
