My current wine selection.
A personal selection of wines with mood, taste and character. From elegant white wine to bold red bottles for dinner, music and slow evenings.
Rafael Palacios Sorte O Soro 2023
A special Spanish white wine from Valdeorras in north-western Spain. It is made from Godello grapes and feels elegant, fresh and very high-quality.
On the nose, it shows notes of peach, apricot, lychee, citrus fruit and subtle herbal hints. According to the seller, it can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 14 years.
My opinion: I find this wine really interesting because it does not feel like a simple fruity white wine. It has much more depth. The fresh acidity, rounded texture and long finish make it a great choice for a quiet evening, a special dinner or as a gift for someone who truly enjoys white wine.
Pairs well with: fish, seafood, white meat or creamy dishes.

La Bollina Tavros Primitivo di Manduria 2023
A rich Italian red wine made from 100% Primitivo. It feels warm, bold and full-bodied, with ripe fruit, dark chocolate, espresso, cinnamon, vanilla and subtle notes of tobacco, cedarwood and leather.
According to the seller, this wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 8 years. It is recommended to decant it before drinking, so it can open up properly.
My opinion: This is probably my personal favorite in this selection. I like wines that feel warm, dark and smooth, and this Primitivo sounds exactly like that. It is not a shy wine — it has weight, richness and a slightly sweet, intense character. For me, this is the kind of bottle I would open for a calm evening, good food, music or a late dinner with friends.
Pairs well with: beef, lamb, pasta dishes, rich sauces or dark chocolate.

Lapostolle Apalta 2022
A Chilean red wine from Apalta, made as a Bordeaux-style blend. It combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Syrah and Merlot, giving it a rich, structured and elegant character.
The blend is made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Carmenère, 5% Syrah and 3% Merlot. With 14.5% alcohol, it feels powerful, deep and full-bodied, but still refined.
My opinion: This wine fits perfectly into the selection because it feels more serious and elegant than a simple everyday red wine. I like that it has both strength and structure. It sounds like a bottle for a proper dinner, a calm evening or a moment where you want something that feels a little more special.
Pairs well with: steak, lamb, roasted vegetables, rich sauces or hard cheese.
