Bone-Chilling Halloween Whites

“A great wine to give someone who’s never tasted Viognier before.”

“Wine lovers, take note: South Africa is on its game for white wines!” (JamesSuckling.com). That quality is on full display in Queen Bee Viognier. This dry white is a love letter to the Cape Honey Bee, brimming with ripe apricot and nectarine notes.

Queen Bee is an elegant Viognier crafted by the talented winemaker Leon Esterhuizen at the renowned Journey's End estate (aka <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/" style="text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal;">The Drinks Business</a> 2022 Ethical Company of the Year). In fact, Queen Bee showcases just how well the Viognier grape thrives in South Africa.

After tasting the 2020 release, Decanter’s Fiona Beckett marveled at its “seductive peaches-and-cream character,” noting that it’s “a great wine to give someone who’s never tasted Viognier before.” And the 2024 edition is every bit as delectable. 

If you haven’t encountered one before, Viognier makes some of the world’s most opulent whites. And to think: a little over 20 years ago (after being torn up in favor of more ‘fashionable’ varieties), it was down to just a few acres of vineyards in its original home, Condrieu, located in France’s northern Rhône Valley. Happily, aromatic Viognier is enjoying a resurgence, as winemakers and wine lovers everywhere embrace its exhilarating flavors and aromas.

With its full body, heady fruit flavors and bright floral aromas, Viognier is perhaps one of the most satisfying whites to sip solo. But we also like it with equally flavorful foods. Grilled or roasted chicken is a classic match, as are weighty seafood dishes like lobster or seared scallops. Viognier can also stand up to a little heat, so don’t be afraid to pair it with spicy noodle bowls or Latin-inspired cuisine.

As you may have guessed by looking at the label, this fabulous white is a love letter to the Cape Honey Bee, which is only found in the Western and Southern Capes of South Africa. It's an essential 'helper' to viticulturists and winemakers because by pollenating the vineyards' flowers, the bees help support biodiversity, which leads to healthier soil and better-quality grapes.

GOOD TO KNOW: This wine qualifies for multiple case pricing (a case = 12 btls). The more cases you buy, the less you’ll pay per bottle—and the more you’ll save! Price updates in shopping cart.

“One of the most exciting and vibrant white wines.”

This gorgeously perfumed, refreshing white is a Spanish Albariño from the hugely talented Juan-Antonio Leza. It boasts endless waves of citrusy, tropical-fruit flavor.

To Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, it's “one of the most exciting and vibrant white wines.” In Spain, they call it Albariño; Alvarinho in Portugal. Whatever you call it, we love its intense aromas and flavors of zingy citrus, perfectly peach and tropical-fruit flavor.

The catch? The only place Albariño fully expresses itself is the northwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula. The most famous examples are from Spain’s storm-lashed Rías Baixas region and northern Portugal.

But those great Albariño conditions—the sea spray, the hard rock surfaces—don’t care about human geography. Just over the border in northern Portugal, Alvarinho grows just as well. The Guardian calls it “the true celebrity in these parts…a wine that blurs borders.”

In fact, it's not just the climate that blurs borders. Long ago, according to the region's winemaking traditions, brave souls would take the Sendero das Meigas (the Witches' path), a secret route used to smuggle grapes betwen the two countries.

Hugely talented Spanish winemaker Juan-Antonio Leza has made the journey from country to country, learning new tricks and techniques from estates on either side of the Mino River (the natural border between Spain and Portugal). He used the perfect combination from both winemaking traditions to make this dazzling, fresh and delicious Spanish Albariño in a seriously crowd-pleasing style. It's no wonder it earned a gold medal from the International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Take the road less traveled and sip this unique, gorgeous wine.

“Wine is supposed to take you places, so get ready to go to the moon.”

We can’t take you to space, but we can help you leave Earth behind for a moment with a lovely white, inspired by the 1902 film, A Trip to the Moon. It's an out-of-this-world delight briming with vibrant tropical-fruit flavors.

The 1902 film A Trip to the Moon captivated audiences by bringing them to the unknowns of outer space. While we can’t take you to space, we can help you leave Earth behind for a few moments with the help of the film’s namesake wine.

A chilled California white is always ideal to have on hand. This vibrant example hails from talented winemaker Doug Roosevelt, prime-sited California vineyards and the great 2021 vintage.

What does this mean for you? Since the growing season helped the fruit ripen to perfection and produced concentrated grapes, you can expect the wine in your glass to overflow with vibrant tropical-fruit flavors. Perfect for pairing with savory white meats or a plate of crackers and soft cheese.

Take a trip with an out-of-this-world white today.

Classic Movie Pairing: A Trip to the Moon (1902) 
In one of the most notable films of the silent era, a group of scientists ride to the moon in a cannon shell. Directed by French film pioneer Georges Méliès, this first special effects extravaganza captured the attention of the movie-going public and helped to establish science fiction as a cinematic genre. It perfectly pairs with this bright white blend that will be sure to lift your spirits.

“The palate is invigorating and sleek with floral aromatics enhanced by herbal and sweet spice notes.”

Wine Spectator calls Portugal “the most exciting wine place on the planet.” This fresh, aromatic white hails from a sustainably run, historic 17th-century estate. Filled with elegant peach and spice notes, it’s lovely alongside Thai takeout.

“The Most Exciting Wine Place on the Planet Today”

Taste why Wine Spectator’s Matt Kramer is raving about Portugal with this stunner: a peachy, gently spiced white, crafted by by winemaker Joana Lopes at José Lobo de Vasconcelos’ renowned, historic family estate in Tejo.

Lobo e Falcão Branco is a rare, award-winning blend of native Portuguese white star, Fernão Pires, plus Alvarinho and Moscatel (aka, Albariño and Moscato). These grapes thrive in the sandy soils, and ripen to perfection under the Portuguese sun. Gentle oak aging imparts further complexity and roundness.

The resulting wine brims with juicy-ripe peach, fresh melon and orange blossom on the nose, followed by a crisp, bright palate of stone fruits and spice. Wonderfully aromatic with a long and refreshing finish, this is a top pick for Asian-style meals (noodle bowls, pad Thai or classic pork egg foo young), seafood, vegetarian stews and more.

Today, the estate has a fully modern winery and in early 2024, earned a Sustainability Certification from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.viniportugal.pt/en/" style="text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal;">ViniPortugal</a> (the official association of the Portuguese wine industry). They are proudly the first and only winery in Tejo to earn this title, thanks to implementing various "green" approaches. (To name a few: promoting biodiversity in the vineyard, efficient water management, composting for organic fertilization, using renewable energy sources and reuse of materials with a lower carbon footprint.)

Order your case today, then keep a bottle or two on hand for when your white-wine loving friends swing by. They’ll thank you!
