Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Gobelsburger 2022

Weingut Schloss Gobelsburg · Schloss Gobelsburg, Kamptal, Niederösterreich

$1812.5% ABV proofGobelsburg, Kamptal, Austria — a 12th-century Cistercian monastery estate that fell into neglect before winemaker Michael Moosbrugger took over in 1996 and transformed it into one of Austria's most respected estates.
Schloss Gobelsburg is an 800-year-old estate that was slowly fading when Michael Moosbrugger arrived in 1996. He didn't bulldoze the past — he studied the monastery's ancient records, revived forgotten vineyard practices, and transformed neglect into one of Austria's finest expressions of Grüner Veltliner.

Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur Blanc Terres Chaudes 2023

Domaine des Roches Neuves

Thierry Germain's biodynamically farmed Chenin Blanc from the Terres Chaudes parcel delivers a wine where the tuffeau limestone substrate is as much a character as the grape. Wood plays virtually no role here — the expression is all terroir, acid, and fruit. A white wine for those who believe restraint is its own form of generosity.

Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria DOC 2022

Donnafugata

Ben Ryé is Italy's most celebrated passito, made from Zibibbo grapes sun-dried on the wind-blasted volcanic island of Pantelleria. The heat of the African-influenced climate concentrates sugars, but Donnafugata's meticulous winemaking preserves acidity and freshness. A dessert wine that transcends the category.

Domaine Leflaive

Domaine Leflaive's Mâcon-Verzé is a masterclass in value from one of Burgundy's most respected white wine producers. The biodynamic farming and careful winemaking bring a precision to Mâconnais Chardonnay that elevates it well beyond its appellation. For those priced out of Puligny, this is the door in.

Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume 2022

Domaine William Fèvre

This is essence before ornament made manifest in a glass. Where many Chablis producers chase richness or oak influence, William Fèvre's Fourchaume 2022 trusts the terroir to do the talking. The Kimmeridgian fossil-studded limestone shines through with uncompromising clarity. Alongside the issue's other selections — the unadorned honesty of Old Bardstown Estate, the single-estate purity of Tequila Ocho, the stripped-back integrity of Benromach Organic — this Chablis reminds us that the most eloquent wines are those that get out of the way of what the earth has already said.
