1. Atimo, Rebula 2021
Atimo gives a new meaning to the ‘low’ in low-intervention wines, as winemaker Filip Koletnik believes that the grape itself contains everything needed to create the wine, i.e. no cultured yeast, no fining or filtration, no temperature control and no added sulphur. This 100% Rebula wine from Goriška Brda in Slovenia (bordering Italy) went through 9-month skin maceration and is an unforgettable, lively and cloudy orange wine that is so elegantly complex. Purposefully produced with fine lees kept in the bottle, so turn the bottle upside down before opening to enjoy the cloudy style of wine!
The palate is dominated by fresh, perfectly ripe yellow apple, peach, fresh yellow plum, passion fruit and ripe grapefruit. Texture is moderately buttery, tannins are present, but delicate and soft. It has a beautiful salinity that takes the complexity of the wine up a notch or two. Acids are beautifully expressed, giving the wine an incredible juiciness and freshness. The aftertaste is long and fruity. Hand picked selected grapes, 9 months maceration in used oak, matured on fine yeasts for 14 months.
2. Weingut Haider, Give Me Wings 2019
Notes of ripe tangerine, tropical fruit, manuka honey, herbs and spices. Complex, fruity and energetic!
Weissburgunder/pinot blanc from the estate's best plots is hand harvested and macerated on the skins for 102 days. When serving, invert the bottle and swirl briefly, decant if you like. No added sulfites.
A rare and breathtaking orange wine by biodynamic producer Weingut Haider that has a limited production of a few hundred bottles.
3. Weingut Haider, Jung & Sexy 2023
A red wine that's also fizzy?? Weingut Haider is a biodynamic producer in Austria that makes this sexy, sparkling red which is bound to get you into a festive mood. As it unravels, the bubbles become soft and it evokes lovely, fruity aromas of ripe strawberry, sour cranberries with a hint of vanilla pod; think along the lines of cherry cola. On the palette, it's fruity, friendly and has slight perceived sweetness - although it's a dry wine. It goes with anything from - dare we say - chicken rice to chocolate cake!
