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 rock 'n' roll wonderkids in Australia, don’t miss ‘em!
BK Wines Chardonnay Petillant Natural 2021
Diddier Grappe Longefin 2020
Bodegas Moraza Tasugueras 2019
Domaine de Botheland Prémices 2021
Romuald Valot Chiroubles 2020
Valentina Cubi Il Tabarro 2016
BK Wines has been a legend of the South Australian wine scene for over a decade. Both his pet-nats are real crowd-pleaser that you will never get tired off. 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.
Rémi Dufaitre, a tempestuous but talented vintner, embarked on his own winemaking journey with his then spouse, Laurence, in 2010. Dufaitre was astute in his choice of mentors, seeking guidance from esteemed figures in the industry such as his elder cousin Jean-Louis Dutraive, as well as Jean Foillard and Jean-Claude Lapalu, all of whom have taken him under their wing.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!
