2023 was widely reported as the hottest year on record.Around the globe, climate change is having an impact on both people and industry, and the world of wine is no different.As a result, the 2023 vintage was for many regions, especially parts of Europe, a little fraught with some wildly unpredictable weather patterns.The wines of regions like Bordeaux may not adhere quite so strictly to the classic styles of past vintages, however, that’s not to say what has been made is not equally as good – or possibly in some cases better – but only time will tell.
Our Wine Expert currently recommends the following wines for this year:

Quinta Das Carvalhas, 2023
Branco das Carvalhas
White Wine From the Douro Valley
This stunning 2023 dry white wine from Quinta Das Carvalhas, is a blend of the indigenous varieties Viosinho, Gouveio, Rabigato, and Códega do Larinho, among others. When looking at producing a top Douro white, the focus was set upon the idea of blending the finest, traditional white Douro varieties and allowing them to integrate in perfect harmony with oak to reinforce its structure and generate more complexity. Carvalhas Branco was born in 2010 through the winemakers' ambitious approach to the small parcels of white grapes located at one of Quinta das Carvalhas’ highest spots, where the …

Quinta da Fonte Souto, 2023
Florao White Wine, Alentejo
Lying on the slopes of the São Mamede Range at an altitude of 500 metres in the Alentejo sub-region of Portalegre, the property benefits from cooler and wetter conditions than the hot Alentejo plain. The Fonte Souto wines express the freshness and elegance provided by the altitude, as well as the structure and complexity from the estate’s extensive collection of mature, low-yielding vines.
The Fonte Souto Estate white wine embodies all the strengths of the property’s unique terroir: the freshness and balance afforded by the altitude; the concentration, which derives from mature, low-yielding vines, and the complexity and structure provided by the barrel fermentation sur-lie (on the lees) with bâtonnage. …

Quevedo, 2023
Claudia's Reserve White Douro Wine 2023
***89 Points - Wine Advocate***
The 2023 Claudia's Branco Reserve is a blend of Gouveio (52%), Viosinho (25%), Códega (18%) and Folgasão for the rest, all aged for eight months in one-third new French and Hungarian oak. It comes in at 12.9% alcohol. This handles its oak flawlessly, which means that the fruit shines through and the freshness takes control. There's a juicy and tasty finish with just a little acidic bite. I'm not sure this will evolve much if you age it, but it might hold on and become more interesting over the next couple of years. There's not a lot of concentration, but the rest is very fine. Drink this on its own or with lighter foods. …
