As one of our favourite winemakers, Tim Wildman, says – ‘2022 has been a record-breaking, heart-breaking and ball-breaking year’. We’ve ticked off so many bucket list goals and imported so many wines from regions all over the world. This year we have a couple of visions, one of them being launching certain winemakers into the stratosphere (where they belong). In this Bingo Box we’ve chosen 6 wines from people that should be on your radar this year. From bombastic Beaujolais to Scandinavian wonderkids in Australia, don’t miss ‘em!
Diddier Grappe Longefin 2020
Bodegas Moraza Tasugueras 2019
Poppelvej Rå 2021
Jakeli Mtsvane 2020
Romuald Valot Chénas 2020
Valentina Cubi Il Tabarro 2016
Didier Grappe is a singular character and one of the most exciting natural winemakers of the Jura. When he's not busy in the vineyard, you can find him playing with his band in the bars of the region. His wines are characterized by tension and rock 'n' roll energy. Janire & Patricio Moraza used to grow and sell grapes for the longest time before diving deep into winemaking. Their wines give new definition to Rioja, wines that transcend the realm of conventional, extracted, heavily oaked reds and whites. Poppelvej (pronounced 'Pop-ell-vie') is a pint-sized winery based in McLaren Vale started by young Danish sommelier-turned-winemaker, Uffe Deichmann with the help of his brother Jens. Uffe produces tiny amounts of wine with a minimal intervention philosophy.
What started as a hobby soon became the main priority. Jakeli has been making wine over 20 years now and their priority has always been the same - to create and popularize natural, organic wines in Georgia. In the remote, undervalued slopes of Beaujeu, Burgundian émigré Romuald Valot is smashing the idols of what we might call, with unavoidable irony, the Beaujolais natural wine establishment. Depending on who you ask, his radical, hands-off permaculture and zero-zero vinification are either visionary daring, or pure folly. Respect for the environment and ecosystem are the trump cards for Valentina Cubi. Expect pure, fresh Valpolicella from her!
