Mosel Calling: Daniel Twardowski & Mirco Keller Collaborate for an evening of German Gastronomic Excellence

As a proper send off to next week’s long weekend, we’ll be inviting winemaker Daniel Twardowski and a lineup of his incredible Pinots to the tables of Keller next Thursday July 27th. A pairing of sublime, unique, and elevated German wines calls for cuisine that waltzes to the same tempo, thus Berlin-native Mirco Keller brings his suave, German-inspired, contemporary fine dining to help set the tone.

Mr. Twardowski has been making waves for quite some time now, his relentless pursuit and passion for producing Pinot Noir has elevated his wines and their demeanor to somewhat of a cult status. Ever the iconoclast, Daniel’s winemaking seeks not to reproduce or imitate but rather awaken a deeper under-standing of what his project in the Mosel means for the importance of German viticulture and as he calls it, the noble Pinot Noix grape.

Our guests can expect a veritable showcase of what modern German cuisine and winemaking has to offer and innovate, all set across the backdrop of Bangkok’s currently teeming food & wine scene. Keller’s innovative menu will be available with a la carte options alongside a selection of Daniel’s cuvées available by the glass or in the form of three 90ml pour flight set.

Wines that will be featured in the lineup include:

  • Daniel Twardowski Ultra Tradition Brut NV, Mosel, Germany – “The grapes come from our own plots on the Dhroner Hofberg. The young wines of both vintages (15 and 16) spent 12 months in used barriques before undergoing a second fermentation together passed on the bottle. The result is bone dry and finalized without any dosage, hence the name. It’s exciting how this edition differs from the Brut Edition, even if it’s just 2 grams more dosage . Citrus, yellow plum, apple, spicy, with gripping acidity and fine perlage . It’s one of those wines that sticks in your memory for a long time.” – Daniel Twardowski
  • Daniel Twardowski 3rd 2019, Mosel, Germany – “Fragrant red-cherry nose with delicate wild-strawberry and herbal notes. Very fine fruit and no less fine tannins that are beautifully matched. Long and filigree finish that has serious depth.” – James Suckling
  • Daniel Twardowski Pinot Noix Ardoise 2018, Mosel, Germany – “A very delicate, subtle pinot noir with just a whiff of funk (reduction). For its sleek and cool style, this has impressive concentration and really fine tannins. Expands at the finish like a bandoneon, the tannic power gently building to a serious crescendo.” – James Suckling

Both food and wine are available as a la carte options with a special flight of Daniel’s wines available for 1800thb++. To reserve your seat, please reach out to https://www.kellerbangkok.com/reservations/ or call +66 64 839 5563. To get to Keller located in Baan Turtle view here.

Australia goes Issan! Brad Hickey of Brash Higgins Wine to takeover Zao on July 26th

No stranger to adventure, globe-trotting sommelier turned winemaker Brad Hickey of Brash Higgins will be touching down in Thailand next week. And what better way to show off Brad’s spectrometric assortment of wines than paired with the brightest and fieriest dishes from Bangkok’s favorite Ekamai-based Issan institution, Zao!

Intrepid and bold dishes make a home at Zao, as they serve up some of the purest distillations of Issan food and drink culture that we have the pleasure of finding further south here in Bangkok. Their food is unapologetically spicy, sour, funky, and deeply authentic, begging for wines with jovial sensibilities and structure to highlight everything on the plate from nuance to intensity. We’ve found a perfect match in Brash Higgins, whose wines are made under the same philosophy of non-conventional charm and creating engaging, downright fun flavors for all those willing to savor.

Expect to find exciting dishes like Laab with river snails paired with fresh, acid-driven Chenin Blanc; smokey, grilled Nam Tok Neua alongside spicy, amphora-raised Nero d’Avola; Yums with fresh watermelon dripping in salty, funky fish sauce & chilis to be slurped down with a glass of aromatic, skin-contact Zibbibo. Safe to say, there will be a mouthwatering myriad of flavors to dive into headfirst including a rare wine of Brad’s new to our neck of the woods.

These cuvées will be available both by the glass and as a flight of wines:

  • Brash Higgins CHN 2022, Chenin Blanc, McLaren Vale, Australia – ‘A pale straw in hue, the wine is heady with Chenin perfume of honey, straw, celery, real lemonade and water chestnut. Soft entry with trim acidity, the wine tightens as it flows across the tongue revealing a lick of saline and oyster shell. Good natural acidity with a delicate chalky, lemon pucker and notes of liquorice on the finish that pull you back for another look.’
  • Brash Higgins ZBO 2022, Zibbibo, McLaren Vale, Australia – ‘Cloudy and a diaphanous, pale copper in appearance. The wine is dry yet exudes tantalising herbal, spice and stone fruit aromas. Complex nose of apricot, graphite/pencil shavings, cut ginger, cloves, elderflower, white pepper, Belgian white ale, and wild honey leaps from the glass. On the palate, the wine has a soft entry but with good grip, an earthy sweet chalk/clay element with notes of lemon oil, tangerines, tea and cinnamon apples.’
  • Brash Higgins NDV 2020, Nero d’Avola, McLaren Vale, Australia – “Dark ruby in colour, with hints of black cherry, Indian spices and stem ginger. Orange peel also present which is usual in this wine. Reminiscent of a Negroni cocktail, angostura bitters and all. A pomegranate, bright dark raspberry and morello cherry mid-palate balanced by a refreshing sweet and sour red cherry acidity. The wine finishes with fine grained, chain link tannins as well as some savouriness.”
  • Brash Higgins CBSV 2020, Cabernet Sauvignon, McLaren Vale, Australia – ‘Perfumed nose; caraway seeds, floral, sweet mint, blueberries and cassis, with spicy notes of Earl Grey tea, and Dutch liquorice. On the palate the wine is smooth and rich with the sweet earthiness of roasted root vegetables, the acidity of rhubarb and the dark lusciousness of black currants. Layered and complex, the 2020 finishes with lovely sweet notes as well as that typical cabernet tannin keeping the wine taut.‘

All food and wines will be available a la carte with a special flight of all four of Brad’s wines for 900thb++ and the option of a pairing with two of Zao’s signature dishes for 1500thb++ altogether. To book please message @zaoisan on Instagram or call Tel 063-246-9545. To get there, view the map here.

Communal Wine Workshop II: Syrah vs Shiraz

This July 22nd, our portfolio manager, Ottara will be continuing his Cloud Wine workshop series with a communal exploration into the spicy world of Syrah.

At last month’s workshop, we saw wine lovers, aficionados and friends come together to chat Chenin Blanc and discover some new things about a classic varietal through the lens of a few of our favorite producers.

This month we follow suit, addressing the age-old question of Syrah vs Shiraz; taking a deep and vinous look at the history of the grape in France and Australia. We’ll talk about how the grape has manifested itself throughout time, how it’s changed and developed stylistically, and where exactly does it fit into the modern world of winemaking today.

This class is designed for all wine-minded folks from beginner to expert, but we find may it be more enjoyable if you already have a bit of basic knowledge coming into it. The spirit of this class is to stimulate conversation, engage about the wines, and hopefully make some new drinking buddies in the process.

For bookings and enquiries please contact us via Line: @cloudwine or Instagram: @cloudwinebottleshop and email to: retail@cloudwine.asia

4-6pm on Sat July 22nd – Syrah vs. Shiraz at Cloud Wine at Commons Saladaeng for 990thb for 4 wines and and a fizzy welcome.

Labels presented:

Hervé Souhaut’s ‘Syrah’ | Ardèche, France | 2020

Stéphane Ogier’s ‘Le Passage St. Joseph’ | Rhône Valley, France | 2016

Luke Lambert’s ‘Syrah’ | Yarra Valley, Australia | 2021

Frankland Estate’s ‘Estate Shiraz’ | Frankland River, Australia | 2020

New Arrivals July 2023

We started this month off as a festival of Bangkok’s wine community, showcasing the depth and dynamism of our wine scene through an outstanding tasting of over 60 different varietals from all around the globe. This month is a celebration been a of wine to say the least, and new arrivals landing on our shores are always a welcome party favor.

Expect to see a bit of regional focus here as we have a bevy of producers, but all representing decisively important regions. A strong showing of minimal intervention winemaking from the Loire and Alsace, some classics from the Rhône, a few eccentricities from Aotearoa, and a new yet familiar selection of flavors from some of Austria and West Coast America’s best.

From the cool banks of the Loire, our friends Frantz Saumon, Marie Thibault, and Lise & Bertrand Jousset not only grace us with their perennial favorites but bring new additions to the books.

On the bubbly side, two notably naturel Chenin Blanc based sparklers, Thibault’s ‘La Roue Qui Tourne’ and the Jousset’s magnum format ‘Éxilé Blanc PetNat’ are not to be missed, pairing perfectly with these hotter months. Following in tow with more mineral-minded white wines from our friend Frantz as well.

Returning timely to Bangkok are also the highly approachable wines of Damien & Coralie of La Grange Tiphaine. The new vintage of ‘Trinqu’ames’ especially captures this sentiment, being their freshest vision of Sauvignon Blanc suited for all palates and predilections.

Further east in the alpines, we have the Demeter-certified biodynamic houses of Zusslin and Achillée; one carrying with it fifteen generations of tradition, while the other ushers forth the modern guard of Alsatian winemaker.

House Achillée presents Hespéridé, a multi-vintage blend of single-varietal Gewürztraminer made extra-aromatic with a maceration on the skins. Delightful and textural. In addition, their easy-going natural ‘Pepin’ cuvées are back in shades of orange and petillant.

Zusslin’s Ophrys 2021 co-ferment of Pinot Noir and Auxerrois delicately coax together into a seductive potion of elegant, airy red.

Finally, from the south of France in the rocky Rhône Valley, the biodynamic-certified, yet highly precision-driven wines of M. Chapoutier. We’ve received lush, textural entry level whites along with a stunning array older vintages from sites in St. Joseph, Côte Rôtie, Chateauneuf-de-Pape, and the absolutely legendary hills of Hermitage.

From the Austrian regions of Burgenland, Weinviertel, and Wachau, we welcome new arrivals from our natural-oriented friends Claus Preisinger and Wabi Sabi, and the return of Johannes Zillinger’s endearingly approachable Gruner Velue Velue. And of course, on the more definitively classic side, the precise, baroque-motif-adorned wines of Weingut Knoll; known for their pure, crystalline portions of Smaragd Grüner Veltliner and Riesling a must-taste for fans of the varietal, including their Vinotheken bottling.s

Claus’ new ‘Puszta Libre’ is an exciting ultra-quaffable, highly chillable red wine made for quick and easy drinking that will be here for the first time in Thailand.

Next we travel to the South Island of New Zealand, in the highly reputed region of Marlborough where salty Sauvignon Blanc reigns supreme; long-time producer of ours, Churton Winery, graces us with a bottling from their new ‘Natural State’ line of wines.

Finishing with our North American winemaking friends, we have new bottlings from the folks at Peay Vineyards and Cep Wines, and the wines of Ghostwriter have returned with more cuvées after a long hiatus. This project, helmed by Thai-American skateboarder turned winemaker Kenny Likitprakong, boasts some of the most compelling flavors from the Santa Cruz mountain region, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah.

As for Peay, these serious, complex, and age-worthy California wines have been impressing and exciting for quite some time now. Find this month elevated selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the West Sonoma Coast’s iconic terroir. As well, for their second label, the Cep Wine project sees the addition of a cool and easy Syrah.

Finally, as these summer months call for even more enticing and refreshing beverages, we present to you Ragazzi & Succo! An Australian-made, orange-hued elixir of organic grape brandy, citrus, and botanicals; sure to make its way into your favorite spritz, sour, or apéritif. This complex and moreish beverage is a perfect low-abv crowd-pleaser, versatile enough to impress at any fête or fiesta.

All this an even more to be found on our newly updated price list of July 2023. We look forward to taking care of your wine selections during these toasty Bangkok summer months and seeing you at all our upcoming events. Please feel free to reach out should you have any further questions or inquiries.

“Around the globe” showcases our findings from venturing to some the world’s greatest, but also a few undiscovered areas, to meet great people making great wine. Period.

This will be the tasting of the year to reacquaint yourself with the known – say a Chenin Blanc, but from perhaps an unexplored region. Or taste the emerging Carricante from the ash-covered vineyards of Etna on Sicily, and of course also dwell into the unknown and savor the beautiful Xinomavro from Cephalonia in Greece. The styles and character of wines on display are surely some of the most unique showcases made available this year, selected by our team from a range of 800 organic labels.

This event takes place at the Gaysorn’s Crystal Box from 6 – 9pm on the evening of Monday the 3rd. Guests are able to purchase tickets in two categories, with options including the half (30) at thb 1,750 or the whole lineup of wines (60) at thb 2,400. The range will allow attendees to proverbially dip their toes or fully dive right into our full lineup of wines. In addition, guests will be able to purchase more tasting credits on arrival for those that wish to taste more than originally intended. Included in the price will be plenty of Perrier Mineral Water, and heavy cocktail (canapes) provided by the venue.

AROUND THE GLOBE IN 60 GRAPES: Crystal Box in Gaysorn Urban Resort on Monday July 3rd between 6-9pm. BTS Chidlom. Parking if needed is in Gaysorn Village. Map view here

Participants aged 20 years and over can purchase their tickets here at Megatix.

This month, we’ll be starting out with Chenin Blanc, a fan-favorite varietal that seems to mesh so well with our palates and sensory preferences in this part of the world. We’ll be exploring the grape in four distinct ways, from three different regions and their respective countries.
