Why you'll love it
A natural wine from Oregon that's made to be fun, fresh, and smashable.
BIG SALT is dry, aromatic and zippy. Salty lemon, ginger and aloe vera leap out of the glass. A short skin contact gives the palate textural complexity,. A little bit wild, a whole lot delicious.
Grilled fish, summer salads, or anything fresh and vibrant.
Best known in Alsace, Alto Adige, Germany
Unmistakably aromatic. Lychee, rose petal, ginger and exotic spice, with a rich, almost oily texture and low acidity. Made in dry, off-dry and sweet styles, it is a classic match for spicy Asian dishes and strong washed-rind cheeses.
Best known in Alsace, Southern France, Italy, Spain
A large family of grapes that taste unmistakably of fresh grapes. Floral, perfumed and often sweet, though dry versions exist. It ranges from light, fizzy Moscato to rich fortified wines.
Best known in Mosel, Alsace, Clare Valley
One of the world's great white grapes. Lime, apple, peach and floral notes, with bright, racy acidity. Made in every style from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, and capable of ageing for decades, when it develops honey and toasty notes.
USA
The Pacific Northwest's cool, damp climate makes Oregon one of the New World's great homes for Pinot Noir, especially from the Willamette Valley. Expect red-fruited, silky, elegant wines with a Burgundian feel, plus fine Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Small, independent producers set the tone.
