BINGO BOX: GLOU GLOU GLOU

Literally, from French, this term translates to “glug glug”, as in the sound a person might make when gulping liquid. These wines are never to serious, but never too easy. That’s why we love the “glou-glou” category! 

In this Box you will get:

Weingut Schmitt Riesling 2022
The perfume is all citrus skin and blossoms, gentle nuttiness, the flow is of purest lime juice. Represented by a family of strong citrus characters on the palate but not shy of some tropical undertones, kiwi, papaya, pineapple skin. It does one of the great wine ‘oxymoron tricks’, being firm in acidity and soft in texture at the same time. Magic.

Latta Precarious Blanc 2021
A blend of aromatic varieties - Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Viognier and Chardonnay. Fragrant thing, lots of honeysuckle and frangipani floral characters, a bit of sea spray, green apple, faint nuttiness. Tart and tangy to taste, quite racy and herbal in a way. Bit of lime and lemon on the finish again. Super pleasing, interesting textural white wine here.

Vin de Lagamba Frauenpower Rosé 2022
A rosé made from Dornfelder & Riesling. Smells savoury for a good start. Focused on red berry fruit, blood orange and bitter herbs. Flavours follow the aromas. It’s a crunchy, crisp, fresh rosé with a lick of cooking spice lingering in the back and a chalky-dusty texture. All works well here and it’s almost too easy to drink.

Alexandre Giquel Multitude 2022
This is a dry white wine with both texture and personality aplenty. It’s herbal, it’s smoky, it’s (burnt) buttery and it’s slipped with lemony, slatey, pear-like fruit. Superb texture with just a touch of residual sugar to add complexity. The acidity is well integrated and gives this wine such a great lift. A Chenin that can be drunk alone, but would also benefit from a solid food pairing.

Kindeli Primavera 2022
This aromatic blend inspires the bottled emulation of blooming springtime. On the nose, the wine exudes a beautiful perfume of florals like jasmine and lilies tied together prettily with scents of apples, honey, a hint of petrol and fresh minerality. Together, the Riesling and Chenin Blanc create a pleasant surprise of contrasting but seamless flavors of fruit, florals and herbs.

Francois Ecot Sapucai Rouge 2021
After catastrophic weather conditions in Burgundy, François was forced to look further afield for grapes in 2021 so he approached friends over the border in Catalunya. Despite the devastation to his own vines, he was excited to work with these different varieties. A blend of Tempranillo, Syrah, Merlot and Carignan. Medium-bodied, slightly savory & delicious blend.
