“One spring a year, and in life only one youth”
Simone de Beauvoir- writer-
Spring is in the air again, so it’s time to look ahead to the beautiful things to come. I already had the opportunity to taste the beautiful wines that will be available in the shops soon. And that is very promising, I can tell you.
The niceness of it all is that there are also winemakers, who present their wines and give some background information about them. I traveled to Waddinxveen (NL) to get a glimpse.
For the actual reviews of the wines I refer to my Vivino account (search on my name: Frits Terwijn). An almost impossible job, by the way, to post all reviews in one go, so check regularly.
I do have some tips and toppers, however, that caught my eye. You will not regret buying them:
* Domdechant Werner from Rheingau – with a delicious Riesling Kabinet trocken
* Bibo Runge from Rheingau – with a fantastic “slow winemaking” line. Recommending the Hargardun Rheingau Riesling
* Henri Maire from the Jura – with Arbois Savagnin non ouillé with 15% of the wine matured under Flor.
* Chateau de Santenay from Burgundy – Mercure 1-er cru “Les Puillets”.
* Chateau La Négly from the Languedoc – with its red or white “La Falaise” * Fontodi from Chianti with his magnificent Classico DOCG
* Le Masciare from Campania, Italy – with the fresh white Greco di Tuffo
