Stefan Nielsen's Picks

Picks for Spring + St. Patrick’s Day


Forget everything you think you know about Australian Chardonnay. Ochota Barrels’ “Slint” is a beautiful expression of what the Adelaide Hills region has to offer. More of a hilly forested area than what most of us picture when we think of Australia, – it’s one of the coolest (literally and figuratively) and most highly-elevated regions in the country. Minimal oak treatment and regular lees stirring has resulted in a wine that tastes more like a Chablis than your typical New World Chardonnay. Biodynamic fruit and minimal sulfur additions – this is natural wine at its cleanest and most approachable. Pair this with roast chicken and literally any shellfish dish and you’re in for a treat.
