The Gimblett Gravels is New Zealand's strongest site for Bordeaux varieties, and Te Kahu is the wine that makes the case most cheaply.

Navarra sits between Rioja and Bordeaux in both geography and grape mix, and Ars Nova draws on all of it in one blend.

The Yerri Valley is cool and high enough that Tempranillo holds its acidity, and Tandem keep this cuvee out of oak entirely so the fruit leads.

Limari is semi-desert with limestone soils — unusual in Chile — on the edge of the Atacama.

Leyda sits a few kilometres from the Pacific, cold enough that ripening takes months longer than inland.

Thrapsathiri is barely grown outside Crete, and Idaia's version makes the case for it: floral lift and a spicy, savoury middle without weight.

Timorasso was nearly extinct forty years ago and is now Piedmont's most serious white grape, which is why Vietti bought into Colli Torton...

Tinto Cão is one of the Douro's great Port grapes but is almost never bottled on its own, so a single-parcel varietal from a 1757 estate ...

Alejandro Fernandez is the producer who proved in the 1970s that Ribera could rival Vega Sicilia, and Pesquera remains the estate the reg...

This is the wine the estate is named for: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot off the oldest plantings on the Tuscan coast, fermented in large ...

Touraine Sauvignon does what Sancerre does a few miles upriver, with the same flinty clay under the vines.

Albariño gets the attention, but Treixadura from neighbouring Ribeiro is at least as interesting and less familiar.

Touriga Nacional is Port's finest grape, increasingly bottled as a dry red.

Txakoli is rarely made this carefully - a single estate vineyard within sight of the Bay of Biscay, rather than bought-in fruit.

A 2.5-hectare plot made only in the vintages that deserve it, and released after four years in bottle rather than pushed out early.

Half the fruit dried on racks and twenty months in oak give this the depth of a far more expensive Veneto red without tipping into Amarone weight.

Verdejo from Rueda is Spain's answer to Sauvignon Blanc and Javier Sanz is one of the appellation's benchmark family growers, with vineya...

Bolgheri is known for its reds, and this is what the same sandy, sea-cooled ground does with a white grape.

Banfi made its name in Montalcino and brings the same precision to a white built for the Tuscan coast.
