E Guigal Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2024
France, Rhone Valley • 149 SEK • 75 cl • 14% • SB 7194701 • 87/100
Class 5. White Rhône wines can often have problems with low acidity and lumpy fruit. Here, however, we have a great balance between all parts! Bright and aromatic fruit, full mids without being heavy, finely tuned dry bitterness at the end and a spicy quince note that sparkles.
Clotilde Davenne Bourgogne Aligoté 2024
France, Burgundy • 139 SEK • 75 cl • 12% • SB 5192901 • 86/100
Class 5. Aligoté is always overshadowed by Chardonnay when it comes to white Burgundy. However, it has its own character that doesn’t necessarily rely on oak barrels. It is noticeable here in a tight fresh steel tank feeling, with lively fruit in the form of gray pear, grapefruit, lemon and almond mass.
Kloster Eberbach Riesling Cabinet 2024
Germany, Mosel • 139 SEK • 75 cl • 7.5% • SB 581001 • 86/100
Class 5. Favorite among the semi-dry Riesling wines on the shelf. Semi-dry means a little more fruit sweetness and in this case also a lower alcohol content. In terms of taste, the wine is balanced by fresh acids and robust pear fruit with typical spicy notes. Ideal for warm dishes, preferably from Thai cuisine.
Gustave Lorentz Gewürztraminer Reserve 2024
France, Alsace • 139 SEK • 75 cl • 13.5% • SB 524401 • 86/100
Class 5. Brilliant introduction to the fragrant Gewürztraminer grape. The floral note is broad and smells of roses, lychee and ripe yellow stone fruits. In terms of taste, the wine is almost completely dry, but there remains a slight residual sweetness, which opens up the wine to tricky and spicy dishes, such as a warming vindaloo.
Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner 2024
Austria, Kamptal • 149 SEK • 75 cl • 12.5% • SB 277501 • 86/100
Class 5. Delicious and lively Grüner Veltliner, where the generosity of the vintage is reflected in wonderful fruit with that extra something extra in everything. White peach, elderberry and grapefruit are enveloped in refreshing fruit acids and slightly carbonated tingling. A perfect companion wine with clear grapes and an approach that appeals to most people.
Pieropan Soave Classico 2023
Italy, Venice • 149 SEK • 75 cl • 12% • SB 2010801 • 86/100
Class 5. The Soave area lies east of Verona and the white wines are usually made from Garganega and Trebbiano grapes. The vintage offers an unexpectedly rich and well-spiced wine with pears, almond pulp and herbs. Healthy acid balance. Great with a pizza bianco with pesto, asparagus and pine nuts.
Adega de Monção Vinho Verde Alvarinho 2024
Portugal, Vinho Verde • 99 SEK • 75 cl • 13% • SB 2017501 • 85/100
Class 5. A nice reminder that after a cool winter comes a green spring. In the glass, pure Vinho Verde joy with the Alvarinho grape from Portugal’s green coast. A wine that puts you in a good mood all year round thanks to its fresh pear fruit with elderberry, nectarine and lively acidity.
Reyneke Organic Chenin Blanc 2025
South Africa, Western Cape • 129 SEK • Eco • 75 cl • 13.5% • SB 2012501 • 85/100
Class 5. This entry-level wine from one of South Africa’s leading biodynamic producers flies the flag high for the country’s flagship grape, Chenin Blanc. Refreshing and fresh without losing the breadth and low-fat character of the grape. Fruity and party-friendly with finely balanced aromas of yellow pears, apricots and herbs.
JM Brocard Burgundy Jurassique 2024
France, Burgundy • 139 SEK • 75 cl • 12.5% • SB 568801 • 85/100
Class 5. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes from vineyards just outside Chablis. The style follows the same strict line as Brocard’s other wines, with minerality and the absence of oak barrels being clear characteristics. Light citrus and a chalky stone feel throughout. Good vintage.
Schömehl Riesling Trocken 2024
Germany, Nahe • 142 SEK • 75 cl • 12% • SB 661001 • 85/100
Class 5. One of the best wines that came onto the market in the silent range in 2025. A Nahe Riesling that can still hold its own against the competition thanks to equal amounts of minerality and spicy pear fruit. Dry, refreshing and balanced with a taste that lasts longer than expected.
Anselmo Mendes Alvarinho Contact 2024
Portugal, Vinho Verde • 145 SEK • 12.5% • 75 cl • SB 670701 • 85/100
Class 5. Crisp and airy Alvarinho with lively pear fruit, lime and herbs. This modern and mineral-driven Vinho Verde style is something from Anselmo Mendes’ signature. The fruit is naturally present, but nicely mellowed with a harsh little bite at the end.
Leitz One, Two, Dry Riesling 2024
Germany, Rheingau • 107 SEK • 75 cl • 11.5% • SB 582201 • 84/100
Class 5. Dry and crisp Riesling with German spiciness. Exuberantly fresh with green apples and an underlying stony minerality, topped with bright citrus. A wine that offers a lot of Rheingau for the money and should be standard at all buffets and parties.
