Clos des Plantes, Whaka Piripiri Mai 2024 Syrah I can think of worse

I can think of worse things

Sainte Epine is a particularly steep slope next to the Souhauts' house

Racy and very saline white from the volcanic vineyards of Tenerife

it's not just lurid orange for show

Pretty rare to get this much complexity into this much Aligoté but that's the magic of a top producer

Clos des Plantes, Whaka Piripiri Mai 2024 Syrah I can think of worsePlace: Loire, France Grape: Chenin Blanc Vibe: Natural, textural Fruit from around Montbenault in the Anjou. You don't get much better site wise for Chenin Blanc. I was very keen to get this in, having drunk my weight in Posis (Lejeune's other Chenin bottling) in recent times. A tad fresher here, still tropical, but with that scintillating acid line that's something of a producer speciality. All in steel for purity. Insanely good drinking, cannot wait
