Rated 93pts by James Suckling, this wine by Dr. Manfred Prum is ageworthy and will continue to evolve for 20+ years. Prum is widely considered one of the top Riesling estates in Germany.

Olivier Pithon “Mon P’Tit Pithon” 2016 Cotes Catalanes IGP(Pat)

Olivier’s grandfather was a famed wine producer in Anjou, and therefore Olivier became involved in making wine from the age of 4! He also collaborated with the highly esteemed Gerard Gauby. Olivier’s wines are truly reflective of the terroir, and he employs minimal intervention in the winemaking process. This bright red wine from Southern France features gorgeous red cherry and garrigue (wild herb) notes. A blend of 66% Grenache and 34% Syrah, this satisfying medium-bodied red is a no-brainer with chicken or pork dishes.
