It’s a list that will appeal to Riesling lovers, with six selections from Franz Hirtzberger Federspiel, Steinterassen, Wachau to Maxim Grünhaus Herrenberg, Kabinett Off-Dry Mosel. But it never takes the expected path, offering Cinsault (Turely Bechtoldt Vineyard, Lodi) and Albariño (Abrente, Napa Valley) from Calfornia and Altesse from Savoie (Bernard Lupin, Fragny) alongside much-loved producers such as Thivin in Beaujolais and Lopéz de Heredia in Rioja.
