6 wines in styles you may not yet be familiar with

1 bottle each of the following.

Jubilation, Muscadet de Sevre et Maine, sur lie – Muscadet with a difference. The village of Le Pallet is one of only two in the region that is afforded "cru" status and as if that were not a sufficient accolade, 15 of the village’s top growers have collaborated to create a "super Muscadet" with an almost Burgundian depth and richness whilst retaining classic Muscadet acidity.
White Mischief, Hahndorff – A full-on, New World take on Gruner Veltliner. Packed with clean, ripe apple and citrus infused fruit rounded of by a twist of savoury white pepper.
Lobethal Road Roussanne –Hand picked on 23 March 2016 and whole bunch pressed into seasoned French barriques. A delicate floral nose with hints of nectarine leads to a textured palate of spiced honey, wild herbs and grapefruit notes.
Neuburger Exempel, Adreas Gsellmann – After hand-harvesting the grapes were crushed and left in a stainless steel tank with the skins for 7 days. Fermentation was spontaneous using indigenous yeast, followed by a malolactic fermentation, and then battonage. The finished wine stayed on the fine lees in 500lt tonneaux for 9 months to get enough energy for the time in the bottle. No filtration and a one-time addition of sulfur promise natural drinking pleasure. Today and tomorrow. Now and later.
Grus, Vinedos de Alcohuaz –Fresh red fruit, violets, pepper, granite and a whole lot of minerality. Vibrant and expressive on both the nose and palate. Silky smooth finish, which Reta attributes to ageing in concrete egg.
Sousao, Casa Santos Lima – A wine drinkers wine with a big character. It has a very strong ruby colour, due to the red flesh of this grape, with a deep smell of spices, red berries, chocolate and slightly smoky.
