1:40 in and I’m already pausing to look things up. Love the video format, cheers to the designers too, very sleek graphics and transitions! Big ups to y’all from upstate NY!
@@wineforthepeople can you tell me which wine should I buy here in Australia duty free around 200-500 dollar which are investment grade wine which is a great buy for selling in future ,please suggest
I'm buying 2020 Rioja 'Lindes de Remelluri', around 15€ a bottle. A really great wine, specially from the San Vicente terroir (they have different terroirs)
I realize you are mainly a business that looks at what is getting imported into Australia, but do you guys by any chance have a video looking at good options for widely available Australian export wine that you guys recommend?
Good call about all of these wines. German PN, aka Spatburgunder, is creeping up in price but still more expensive than comparable quality Burgundy. Chinese Marselan was a surprise, but why not? The only problem I see is availability. You would either have to go there or find a local Chinese community. But they may be more into growth Bordeaux, MGA Barolo, Premier Cru Burgundy. You would have to be a brave wine importer with deep pockets to offer Chinese Marselan from Ning Xia. Cheers, love the content, and the style!
What a great video - not heard of any of these varieties, apart from the Pinot from Germany. Will look out for them. I'm very Aussie wine focused at the moment though, especially living in Perth and being so close to Margaret River.
@@wineforthepeople True that. Hey, maybe I can have you guys over and we can do a blind tasting together? I'm just video editing my first blind tasting video as we speak and hoping to do some more with special guests. What do you think? Fancy coming over?
The problem with Chinese wines and anything food related made in China is food safety. They don’t care about pollutants, chemicals, you name it. Corruption is the norm and any laws they might have are just for show, so regardless of price and whatnot, you will not get me to eat/drink something made in China.
This seems to be typical of the perspective of Chinese wines - but keep in mind that China is a very large place, and Ningxia - the central winemaking area is actually closer to Mongolia than the main factory-centres of the country - it's remarkably different. There would be more impact from Chinese polluntants on the soils of Vietnam, Taiwan & Thailand, than there would be in far northern China. Keep in mind that 'China' really is just a political border.
Yo Brendan, next time you're coming up to Asia, let's set up a trip to Ningxia and try some of these varietals and specific endemic varietals from these high altitude, marginal vineyards. The quality in Mainland has risen exponentially since the precovid years.
German spaetburgunder is a great call Brendan, i would consider grauburgunder and weissburgunder as well, from baden area where bernhard huber is from. other than that, drink more fiano :) and south africa also still has some great value if quality is considered, i want to find more south african cinsault which i had a few that where very impressive. leftfield australian wine is still some of the most interesting stuff to explore for me. so much variety there. Thank you as always for the great content!
I went to Piedmont in 2022 and a lot of the producers are saying to expect 15% (or higher!) with climate change. I dont think im going to be buying barolo and barbaresco anymore - ghemme, gattinara and valtelina are where I'll be looking.
Sounds like a sales pitch. Good thing about climate change for wine means that another region usually the one to the north will soon be making almost the same wine as the place you are worried about. I think champagne and English sparkling is a great example.
To be fair, Barolo has been 15% and above for some time now. Although some of the underappreciated native varieties around there are looking GOOD at the moment - like Pelaverga!
Encruzado is remarkably similar to Chardonnay. I think portuguese wines are extremely underrated and bring very good price/quality ratio, especially compared to other regions in Europe. They also have the largest amount of native grape varieties after Italy!
Awesome video. I can’t source the Chinese wines over in the states, but I found at least one of the recommended ones for the other 4. Oh, in a huge fan of the wines from Roussillon, including blends with a significant amount of marselan. Hmmmm, some QPR wines I’m buying, German Riesling Auslese, Tasmanian Blanc de Blanc sparkling, South African Chenin Blanc, Jura Savagnin, Moulin-a-Vent Lieux-Dits Champ de Cour. I’m sure there will be others as the year goes on. 😎😎
@@BrenCarter_WFTP thanks - my studies (WSET2/3, IWS/FWS) since i started in 2019 really opened my eyes to what is out there... and while i do love a good cab or chardonnay, I look for the unusual... my latest is a 1990 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Vin de Paille, 100% Marsanne. Stunning sweet wine!! (his other stuff isn't bad either.. 🙂)
I can confirm that both white and red Dão IMHO have the closest profile to Burgundy than any other region in the world and the reds also don't even have Pinot. Quinta da Pellada (their Carrocel is mindblowing although no longer cheap by Portuguese standards) and Textura wines are among my favourite producers.
YES! We love Teroldego - although it had a bit of a moment in Australia probably 10 or so years ago - fuelled by the discovery of Foradori and Marion - BUT - definitely a worthy mention - perhaps a follow-up vid for 'Underdog Varieties'?
Loved this video! On a trip through northern Spain and Portugal along the Douro River from Valladolid all the way to Porto, I absolutely loved every white wine that we tried! I was not familiar with the varietals, but at 5 or 6 euros/bottle, I didn't care - it all tasted great! Similarly, in south eastern Italy, there are great white wines that barely, if ever, make it to the States. I love Falanghina, Fiano, Verdeca, Bianco d’Alessano, Minutolo, etc. - all well priced and delicious!
Love it! Definitely put a lot of these on my Vivino wishlist! Do these picks represent all 3 of you, or will Noah and Henry be doing their own as well? Love how the content is branching out beyond just tasting on this channel. Please keep more videos like this coming!
Your tastes are all so different, it would be fun to get their picks too! Also super excited, already found a bottle of Arpepe Valtellina, can’t wait to try it!
@ taxation certainly plays a role but the notorious LCBO was once a much better outfit with a greater diversity of products than it offers now. It’s changed the last 15 years while I was away managing and buying for private shops. I got a little spoiled for choice and my customers were always grateful that I could turn them on to St. Laurent as an alternative to overpriced California wines. For me there was satisfaction in introducing people to unique varieties that they in turn fell in love with.
@@wineforthepeople You can still find the occasional treasure from Portugal, Croatia and Georgia but their vastly outgrown “regular list” selection is depressing. Anywhere else in the world their offerings would be considered supermarket wines. Recipe wines like Bread & Butter, Josh, Tom Gore and now the Netflix sparkler “Love is Wine” (or whatever it’s called). As a crown corporation they ought to be forced to announce that they are largely sponsored by giant wine conglomerates. It’s truly depressing.
Great video! Love the format and Brendans presentation is fantastic. Would have liked to learn a bit more about Encruzado, what grape varieties, climates and winemaking techniques we can expect. Especially considering Chinese Marselan got a whole section :P Also can you maybe discuss specific wines that have previously impressed you? Like Ar Pepe Inferno or Chacra Barda. It would be nice because producers offer many different options across the price-quality spectrum and your opinion on what a good offering by that producer is would be meaningful. For example in your last video you guys did NOT like Chacra but in this one you recommend it heartily, is that because you have tried other cuvees from them that you liked more or just changed your mind? Not asking you to do a suggestion for every producer but mention maybe a single cuvee you have tried or would love buy yourself and then just the names of the other important producers.
Happy to do a follow-up with Encruzado! We just tasted HEAPS at ProWein - and we're doubling down on it! It's amazing! Good pickup on the Chacra - because there was definitely one that sticks out as being all-star awesome, but the recent one was super closed - probably too young TBH. Amazing feedback - thanks so much!
Small correction, the Southernmost region of Patagonia does not produce any wine at all. Wine production is in the Northern part, it would be far too cold down near Calafate etc.
That would be amazing. Romania (and Moldova) are just at the forefront of new wines, but the first people start to make amazing natural wines over there. Agape, La Sapata, Pivnetele Theodoros and Brutler, probably impossible to find. From Hungary, Grand vin de Barnag, Lenkey and Bencze Birtok. Maurer from Serbia (also check out the videos of Terroir Squad they do an amazing job of showing the winemakers and vineyards) and Slovakia I am partial to Cajkov, but also Bhrolvce. Grande Mure from Cajkov is something else! There is a great importer in the Netherlands (Tuurlijk Wijnen) maybe they would be willing to send you a few bottles.
Best Encruzado's from Portugal: Passarella Villa Oliveira I Druida I Quinta dos Roques Encruzado I Pellada Primus (not pure encruzado) I Dona Sancha Encruzado I António Madeira Vinhas Velhas (not a pure encruzado but a very fine white from Dão
@3:15--Chacra: Last of 2 bottles of 2018 "55". USA$48--Never more than "Lightweight, lean, no bad flavors, but not complex. 90 points".(98 points from Wine Advocate, 97 Suckling!) No mas! I'd rather have an NZ Akarua or USA$25 Bourgogne from an excellent vintage/producer.
@@wineforthepeople--Thanks for the reply. I agree, but when Pro critics fawn over it, AND it's US$50, I'm expecting more than a 90-point wine. AND more than entry-level. My tastebuds aligned closely with Parker, but his current proteges are All over the place(91- 92 points for recent Bordeaux, when other critics that I align, give them 95-96, and then THIS Pinot Noir, within 2 points of the best PN they've EVER tasted, is the opposite)! And Suckling has always been 2-4 points high(5 points on S American wines), so you take that into consideration. That's why I posted their scores. I was expecting at least 94-95 points, not a lean, off-vintage Volnay.
I suppose it's the flavour of reviewer that you're searching for, to align with right? For Australian's - lightweight, lean and simple - are all elements of truly great wine, in a contemporary, Australian context. If we were living in Sweden (for example) - I'm sure that'd reverse.
Not saying you are! Saying it's more contextual - depending on the climate, culture, food of the area - one person's 'Good' isn't necessarily anothers...
@@wineforthepeople I hope more people will drink and prefer new world wines and make them so popular that Burgs will be left flunking, but I don't see that happening soon, as drinking top producer burgs is like a cult, hahahaha
Cap Classiques can still offer some solid fizz for the money as well as a selected few Cava producers. Have to agree with Spätburgunder and as for a region Ahr in specific is just outrageous stuff. For Italy I'd add Aglianico del Vulture for Nebbiolo fans. In their best versions they can deliver a lot of the same characteristics as Nebbiolo. And there Basilisco and D'Angelo as producers are ones to seek out.
Interesting comment on the Aglianico - it's come a long way in the last decade, although they've always said: Barolo of the South - we're seeing more Nebbiolo fans flock to Etna than Campagnia.

Aw shucks! Thanks so much!
Nice video. For German Pinot: Fürst, Franz Keller, Meyer-Näkel, Dr. Heger, Rings also to mention though
Hey - AWESOME recommendations! Thank you so much!
@@wineforthepeople can you tell me which wine should I buy here in Australia duty free around 200-500 dollar which are investment grade wine which is a great buy for selling in future ,please suggest
I'd look straight at the Langton's Classification
What do you guys think of Kerner? It is a cross between Trollinger and Riesling.
I've only ever encountered a handful before - but they've all been gorgeous! Aromatic yet lean!
@@BrenCarter_WFTP Alright thank you. I have always wanted to try them. I will probably buy some and a couple more from this helpful video. Thank you!
Our pleasure! If you liked this sort of video, we might consider making a few more! @@Dkkm10
Wouldn't be awesome if Koerner made Kerner - with really odd Kerning to the font?
@@wineforthepeople that sounds good! I will buy it lol
Awesome picks the spatburgunder and chivanesca hit home. Barbacan goes so hard!
Thanks! I 100% agree!
I'm buying 2020 Rioja 'Lindes de Remelluri', around 15€ a bottle. A really great wine, specially from the San Vicente terroir (they have different terroirs)
Oh! Interesting! What's San Vicente terroir like?
I realize you are mainly a business that looks at what is getting imported into Australia, but do you guys by any chance have a video looking at good options for widely available Australian export wine that you guys recommend?
Interesting! Unfortunately we simply don't know what wines are available overseas...if only we could get that information!
Barbacan is insane, bit expensive tho. Patagonia Pinot or Malbec, also dope, hard af to find good producers in Australia tho.
Great video. I think encruzado could be joined by just the whole country to be honest (especially alentejo)...such good value!
Honestly, there were moments I thought I was drinking White Burgundy...
Good call about all of these wines. German PN, aka Spatburgunder, is creeping up in price but still more expensive than comparable quality Burgundy.
Chinese Marselan was a surprise, but why not? The only problem I see is availability. You would either have to go there or find a local Chinese community.
But they may be more into growth Bordeaux, MGA Barolo, Premier Cru Burgundy. You would have to be a brave wine importer with deep pockets to offer Chinese Marselan from Ning Xia.

I'm in my fizz era in 2024 🍾 have never had a bad time while drinking bubbly.... yet
Not sure ied get these in Englsnd ?
We think you might have a better chance than most! Perhaps reach out to those individual wineries and ask who their importer is?
can't seem to find any of the encruzados in Australia?
That's because barely any are being imported - yet! I have a feeling there will be several landing in Australia very soon!
We're working on it! There aren't many being currently imported!
Working on it now!!!@@wineforthepeople
It's arrived! They'll be listed on the Unico Zelo website soon (this week we reckon!)
I went to Piedmont in 2022 and a lot of the producers are saying to expect 15% (or higher!) with climate change. I dont think im going to be buying barolo and barbaresco anymore - ghemme, gattinara and valtelina are where I'll be looking.

2018 Nino Negri Valtellina Superiore Quadrio at my local store for 21.99 . not a single vineyard but a very good price for Nebbiolo

In Ontario, Canada the cheapest Valtellina is $40 . In Quebec the only Valtellina is $150. Here we’re better off with Langhe.
Is that to do with taxation? Or just availability?
