Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris & Friends, Cahors, France | This biodynamic white blend from Fabien Jouves in Southern France is a one-way ticket to Flavourtown and even if we’re unclear on how much Guy Fieri even likes wine, we’re confident that he’d appreciate this rip roarin’ tailgate party in a bottle. This club has everything: a luscious, honeyed texture, lip-smacking acid, a bouquet of freshly liberated wildflowers from a rich neighbour’s bee-friendly garden & Starburst lemon citrus. She’s already on the guest list, just come on through to the back.

Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng, Muscat d’Alexandria, Cahors, France | Our favourite athleisure-styled rockstar of France’s South-West knocks it out of the park with this skin-contact wine. In the hills of Cahors Fabien Jouves (Mas del Périé) is making delicious, biodynamic wines from the region’s famous grape Côt (aka Malbec), along with a cast of lesser-known but very intriguing regional grapes. Three of these regional white grapes definitely steal the show here: Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng, and Muscat of Alexandria are macerated together for 3 months in concrete and then aged a further 6 months, producing a perfectly balanced, quaffable yet complex orange wine. The tropical juiciness of Muscat and the ripe apricot texture of the Gros Manseng just cannot contain themselves in this summer, sunset party. Stewed yellow fruit, rose, citrus and spicy notes with refreshing acidity.
