Quantities are obviously limited

The soils are of volcanic origin and are rich in iron and minerals

Paul is the farmer and Willy the winemaker

Let's chill with this LOVELY bottle of Austrian red

2023 Damien Guadagnolo Poulsard Cote du Jura Gruner Veltliner or simply as an aperitifPoulsard is Jura's most ethereal red grape, and in Guadagnolo's hands it sings. A proper strawberry bomb a touch reductive at first but pleasantly so, with a little stemmy lift on the nose that blows away to reveal a lithe palate of wild, sweet fruit and a long, savoury finish. Featherlight in body, zero sulfur, and utterly captivating this is the kind of wine that converts the unconvinced.
