Summer's Perfect Red: Chillable Pineau d'Aunis, A Loire Hidden Gem

Summer's Perfect Red: Chillable Pineau d'Aunis, A Loire Hidden Gem

Everyone has their “a-ha!” moment wine. For the luckiest among us, it’s the first sip of great Nebbiolo or Burgundy. For one member of the Flatiron Wines team, though, it was a most obscure grape — Pineau d’Aunis. Pineau in the running for the perfect summer wine, a red that’s chillable and punchy, yet markedly different and more complex than the average glou glou offerings at your local wine bar.

Punchy Perfection: Weistler-Künstler's 2022 Feinherb Riesling

Today, we announce the 2022 German wine vintage with the arrival of Wei-Kü’s very slightly off-dry Feinherb — the easiest-drinking wine in their lineup and one of our favorites. We think you’re going to like the vintage: the locals are calling it a miracle.

Castillo de Viñas Rosado: A Traditional Style, Revived (à la López)

Castillo de Viñas Rosado: A Traditional Style, Revived (à la López)

Is this a stand-in for López? No, it is not. But it is a distinct expression emerging from the same tradition, one with the kind of personal twist that makes it even more crushable on a hot summer day. And better yet, it costs a fraction of what Lopez sells for. You'll definitely want to try this.

I Pentri's Flora — The Perfect Summer Wine to Go With Everything

I Pentri's Flora — The Perfect Summer Wine to Go With Everything

One of the best sources for fine, fascinating white wines is southern Italy; in spite of the unceasing sun and the fierce heat, many winemakers are producing wines of great minerality and elegance. One such estate is I Pentri, named after the ancient tribe that once occupied this area of Campania, a few hours’ drive northeast from Naples.

Rosé from Raffault: Joy and Substance

Rosé from Raffault: Joy and Substance

Olga Raffault's most prestigious wine is their red Chinon from the Les Picasses vineyard, an incredibly long-lived, classic expression of limestone terroir through a Cabernet Franc lens. Their most straight-up joyful wine, on the other hand, is their rosé.  2022 was a perfect vintage for this wine.  It's straight-up yummy and you don't need to spend a bunch of time thinking about the wine to enjoy it: it offers plenty of simple pleasures in fruit and freshness.

Burgundian Influence in the Loire Valley: Pinot Noir from Alphonse Mellot

Burgundian Influence in the Loire Valley: Pinot Noir from Alphonse Mellot

The way that wine lovers revere Pinot Noir from Burgundy, you’d think that grape was found only there and nowhere else in all of France. If Burgundy is home to Pinot Noir’s Greatest Hits, there are thrilling and largely undiscovered B-sides in regions further afield, and we’re incredibly pleased to share one of our newest findings with you today.
