A.A. Badenhorst "Caperitif Kaapse Dief No.6" Swartland Aperitif Wine NV
The following review applied to the previous lot of this production from Adi Badenhorst, but we feel it is fully represented of this hyper-unique Aperitivo from South Africa. A "Ghost Ingredient" no-more!

Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(5/2017) "(17.5% alcohol; a sweet Vermouth made from Chenin Blanc flavored with Quinchona bark and 35 botanicals and sweetened with grape sugar; this is Lot #5): Copper-orange color. Knockout, endlessly complex perfume of orange blossom, cinnamon Red Hots, clove, ginger and mint. A silky, umami-like texture is utterly seamless and smooth. Hints of griotte cherry, orange zest, fynbos and tree bark are lifted by a strong spicy character. Wonderfully complex, moderately sweet and long, with a finishing note of bitter orange giving the finish a drier quality and great refreshment value. I bet you can't drink just one glass. In partnership with Danish mixologist Lars-Erik Schmidt, Adi Badenhorst reinvented an old South African product that disappeared in about 1910. Serve it on its own over ice with a slice of lemon, or with club soda. It's also remarkably versatile in cocktails."

Champalou Vouvray Petillant Brut NV
90+
Our Score
(6/2018) Champalou is always a favorite producer of ours when it comes to Vouvray, and their sparkling brut (100% Chenin Blanc) is a stunner! This "breakfast bubbly" really uplifts the senses with its chalky minerality, bright citrus tones and orchard fruits, laserbeam focused acidity and lively bubbles. An excellent alternative when you want Champagne but you want to spend half the money!

Damien Pinon "Le Brut" Vouvray Brut NV
89+
Our Score
(11/2019) Supple and juicy, this sparkling Chenin Blanc from Damien Pinon is full of plush red apple, white peach and pear supplemented by notes of jasmine and honeycomb. Well-balanced between fruit and minerality with a slight tip toward fruitiness that makes for an easy-drinking and versatile sparkler. A smart case-buy for all-purpose drinking!

Domaine Vigneau-Chevreau Vouvray Brut NV
88
Our Score
(1/2018) We firmly believe the world needs more sparkling Vouvray! It's been way too long since we've had this old favorite in our stores. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, utilizing the traditional method (as used in Champagne), this excellent value tastes of ripe citrus, chalk and a hint of herbal honey. Do yourself a favor and grab a couple bottles of this super fresh and dry bubbly!
