Creation Reserve Chardonnay 2019, Walker Bay, South Africa, ~15 euro. Oak fermentation with batonnage gives a good body while maintaining freshness. From a cool climate region on the south coast of South Africa. Creation is a great chardonnay specialist.
François 1er Vieilles Vignes 2017, Domaine Des Huards, AOP Cour-Cheverny, Loire Valley, ~18 euro. The grape is romorantin, unique to this appellation close to two of the most beautiful Loire chateaux. Full-bodied with apricot aromas and lovely honey notes.
Guímaro Blanco 2019, Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain, ~12 euro. Spain has so much to discover and gets so little attention compared to Italy and France.
