I am thrilled to announce the second edition of my Finest Fifty Wines collection, which I am publishing for matthewjukes.com Members only, to give my most loyal supporters a few more terrific reasons to raise a glass.
While this initiative is entitled ‘The Fifty Finest Wines of 2021’, this list includes wines which are, for the most part, fairly recent discoveries because alerting you to wines that I found earlier in the year and have sold out or where stocks are thin on the ground would be self-defeating.
This means that epic discoveries like 2020 Kumeu River, Maté’s Vineyard Chardonnay New Zealand and 2019 Craggy Range, Aroha Pinot Noir, Te Muna, Martinborough, North Island, New Zealand to pick two at random are not mentioned here. However, you still ought to try to track them down! This neat report sums up the 50 most vital wines for your delectation as we come to the end of what has been another challenging year.
I hope that you love these wines as much as I do. It has been a great pleasure putting this collection together, pitting wine against wine in order to come up with the perfect fifty. All of these wines are available right now to buy (and most are drinking nicely!). I have not included any en primeur or as yet unreleased wines here. Spread across all price brackets and with no extraneous criteria other than serious quality coupled with intrinsic value, this is a remarkably eclectic collection like no other. I am sure you will find a few sensational wines here to excite your palate.
This website is made possible because of your Membership and trust in my palate. Thank you so much for your continued support. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
