Few producers in Piedmont generate the kind of reverence surrounding Burlotto today.

This week’s arrivals cover serious ground—from benchmark Oregon Pinot Noir to alpine-tinged Etna reds and classic Piedmont—but the headline is unmistakable. A deep lineup from Weingut Markus Molitor is available on sale, and it’s the kind of collection that doesn’t come together often. These are bottles that speak to both breadth and precision, but more importantly, they give a rare, focused look at one of the Mosel’s most exacting and prolific masters working at full tilt. |

There’s a particular kind of Mosel producer that insiders quietly stock up on before the broader market catches on—and Weingut Günther Steinmetz sits squarely in that category. Stefan and Sammie Steinmetz are working some of the steepest, most vertiginous parcels along the river, including old-vine sites that many larger producers abandoned decades ago because they were simply too difficult to farm. What they’ve done is bring those vineyards back to life—and in doing so, they’ve unlocked a level of site expression that feels both deeply traditional and strikingly vivid. |
If you really want to understand where Rioja is headed—not where it’s been—start with Telmo Rodríguez. There’s a certain moment that happens when you taste his wines: the realization that Rioja can be something far more transparent, more alive, and more site-driven than most people expect. At Remelluri, Telmo isn’t chasing trends—he’s quietly redefining the ceiling of what the region can deliver. |

Selbach-Oster is one of the Mosel’s great standard-bearers, a winery whose name has become synonymous with precision, purity, and trustworthiness. Based in the village of Zeltingen, the estate has deep roots in the region, with documented vineyard holdings dating back to the 17th century. For generations, the Selbach family has farmed some of the Mosel’s most prized steep slopes, developing an intimate understanding of how Riesling expresses itself on slate soils along the river’s winding bends. |

It’s easy to focus only on the headline wines when a producer reaches the level of Weingut Dönnhoff—but that misses the real story. What makes Dönnhoff so compelling isn’t just the brilliance of the Grosses Gewächs bottlings, it’s how consistently that same philosophy shows up across the entire range. From the first pour to the most collectible cuvées, there’s a throughline of precision, restraint, and clarity that’s remarkably hard to replicate. |
