Fresh Takes for 2026!

In the spirit of renewal and discovery that a new year brings, Sotheby’s Wine has assembled a collection that will take you off the beaten path. Some selections reveal lesser-seen facets of familiar producers and regions, offering unexpected perspectives, whether through distinctive terroirs or thoughtful winemaking choices.

Several come from estates best known for their red wines, presenting compelling white expressions that speak to the same rigor and pedigree. Highlights include an exquisitely tropical white Bordeaux from Pauillac benchmark Lynch-Bages, an uncommon white Premier Cru from Nuits-Saint-Georges by Henri Gouges, and a crisp and fragrant Sauvignon Blanc from Eisele – one of Napa Valley’s most revered Cabernet vineyards.

Elsewhere, the collection highlights distinctive partnerships such as DVO, a transatlantic collaboration between Dalla Valle & Ornellaia and the polished second wine ‘Epu’ from the celebrated Chilean estate Almaviva.

Completing the selection are wines shaped by singular terroirs. From the chalky soils of Champagne or the Loire Valley, the volcanic slopes of Etna, or the old-vine landscapes of Bierzo, a clear sense of origin and character shines through in fresh takes from Savart & Dremont, Bernaudeau, Girolamo Russo, and Raúl Pérez.

From refined Old World classics to compelling interpretations from emerging or overlooked corners of the wine world, this collection rewards the curious palate while remaining firmly grounded in balance and precision. We hope you enjoy!
