This is a masterclass in aromatics

with floral aromatics and tropical fruit

yet with that undeniable fresh acid line that makes this unmistakably Chenin from the Loire

with all that wild Tenerife-derived energy that we've come to expect and love from the best wines produced on the island

Yannick Meckert, 'Deux Couleurs: Jaune' 2023 South Africa This is a masterclass inPlace: Alsace, France Grape: Auxerrois Vibe: One for the bistro Auxerrois gets often overlooked, mainly planted on the flat land and blended away into cheap Cremant. Yannick here manages to capture the grape in all its glory. Directly pressed fruit from 50 year old vines on clay makes for a seriously formidable bistro wine. Pouring a vibrant yellow, this is full of pithy citrus, stones and savoury salinity. Inject this into my veins. ABV: 12%
