Hunawihr Kuhlmann-Platz ‘Vieilles Vignes’ Pinot Gris 2015
AOC Alsace $20.95 (224204) 12.0% alcohol
This delightful gris has a light straw-yellow colour with a slight tinge of green. There are aromas of grapefruit and citrus peel on the nose joined by flavours of melon and clementine on the palate. It’s medium-to-full bodied with a mouth-watering acidity that delivers a fresh, lip-smacking, juicy finish. Enjoy with a serving of orange and fennel salad. (Dave Isaacs)

Domaine Autrand Côtes du Rhône-Villages 2016
AOC Côtes du Rhône-Villages $15.95 (200030) 14.0% alcohol
This blend of 70% grenache and 30% syrah is dark cherry in colour. Aromas of blackberry, strawberry, and vanilla are present on the nose. It is medium-full bodied on the palate with firm, but well-integrated tannins. Flavours of sour cherry and raspberry persist through the finish. It will keep in the cellar through to 2026. Pair with grilled rack of lamb. (Dave Isaacs)
