How to Plan a Madeira Wine Trip – Tips and Advice

Finally, the spotlight is on Côte des Bar, the southern Champagne region, with an amazing array of grower champagnes | Britt on Forbes
The Côte des Bar, the southernmost part of Champagne, is a gold mine for those looking for exciting grower champagnes. The district is a bit isolated from the rest of Champagne. The city of Troyes is nearby, as is the border with Burgundy. It was previously not talked about much. But 24% of the total […] Continue reading: Finally, the spotlight is on Côte des Bar, the southern Champagne region, with an amazing array of grower champagnes | Britt on Forbes The post Finally, the spotlight is on Côte des Bar, the southern Champagne region, with an amazing array of grower champagnes | Britt on Forbes was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Britt Karlsson .

Utiel-Requena: one of Spain’s most misunderstood wine regions?
Utile-Requena is perched on a high-altitude plateau, a short hour west of Valencia. The wines from there today achieve a striking balance of elegance, concentration, and a sense of their origin. The main grape is the autochthonous bobal. This overlooked Spanish wine region has a harsh continental climate that preserves a striking grape acidity. Bobal […] Continue reading: Utiel-Requena: one of Spain’s most misunderstood wine regions?

German pinot noir: from abysmal to world-class
German pinot noir has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, shifting from widely dismissed, overripe and heavily oaked wines to elegant, precise and terroir-driven expressions. Producers now focus on earlier harvests, lower yields, cooler fermentation and less oak, resulting in lighter, more refined styles. Germany’s diverse soils add further complexity, and with […] Continue reading: German pinot noir: from abysmal to world-class The post German pinot noir: from abysmal to world-class was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Göran van den Brink .

A guide to the wines of the Rhone region
A GUIDE TO THE WINES OF THE RHONE REGION AN OVERVIEW OF RHONE WINES This blog post on Rhône wines, the first in a series, can only be an overview – the Rhône wine region is huge and the range of Rhône wines so varied that it is impossible to cover it all in one relatively short article. This guide covers Northern Rhone wines, Southern Rhone wines and their differences, Rhone wine labelling, what Cote du Rhone wines are and the general style of the region’s wines. Since 81% of Rhône Valley wines are red, I’ll focus on red Rhone wines – with the Rhone’s white and rosé wines to be covered at a later date (whites are 6% of production with rosé 13%). The terms Rhône and Rhone are used interchangeably in this blogpost. RHONE WINE STATISTICS First some figures about Rhone wine: there are over 5000 wine-growing businesses in 28 Rhône wine appellations using one or more of 27 permitted grape varieties to produce 3 million hectolitres for c. 372 million bottles of wine* – and that’s ignoring any

7 facts to help make sense of Burgundy wine
7 FACTS TO HELP MAKE SENSE OF BURGUNDY WINE … & UNDERSTANDING BURGUNDY WINE LABELS How are you supposed to make sense of Burgundy wines? Understanding Burgundy wine labels can seem impossible. Sometimes it is even difficult to know whether you have selected a bottle of red wine or white wine without an expert knowledge of the region and its producers. But it is worth finding out a little about the region’s wines because Burgundy, or Bourgogne as it is known in France, is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in Europe and has a reputation for producing some of the world’s best wines. So let’s tackle this relatively small but daunting area with its complex labelling and numerous wine producers often with the same family name. Here is Burgundy in a nutshell, all you need to know to start you off tasting Burgundy wines.

Guide to New Zealand Wines
Guide to New Zealand Wines The New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ocean New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and specifically Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc have been pretty much synonymous with New Zealand wine until fairly recently. Indeed even in 2023 Sauvignon Blanc still accounted for 65%* of New Zealand’s total wine grape vineyard area – and most of that was in Marlborough, 58% of New Zealand’s total vineyard area. Amazing facts especially when you consider that the grape was first planted in Marlborough only in 1975. You cannot ignore the importance of this grape as it thrust New Zealand onto the international wine scene. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc still clearly has its fans. Many have fallen for its aromatics, its crisp zing and unique flavours of gooseberry, red peppers with hints of passionfruit and fresh cut grass. As Sauvignon Blanc production started to become more commercial in the 1970s, at the lower end of the market (encouraged, it has to be said, by retailers importing into
