🍊 David Sampedro Gil & Melanie Hickman 2020 (Rioja Alavesa) – A beautifully structured orange wine with vibrant acidity, creamy texture, and notes of white peach and honeysuckle. Organic, biodynamic, and vegan—this one’s a crowd-pleaser.

🍾 Raventós i Blanc 2021 (Catalonia) – This sparkling beauty is crisp, fresh, and balanced, with a refreshing lemon zest finish. Made on ancient soil with marine fossil deposits, it’s a wine that’s both complex and easy to drink.
