“Today’s younger wine drinkers are much more adventurous,” said Alexandra Shaughnessy, wine director at 90+ Cellars, in a statement. “They’re less concerned with whether they’ve heard of the grape or region and more interested in discovering wines with great stories, incredible quality and outstanding value.”

Lot 236 Pecorino comes from the coastal vineyards of Abruzzo, Italy, where this once-forgotten indigenous grape has experienced a revival, the company says. Crisp and refreshing, it offers bright citrus, delicate floral notes and a touch of saline minerality, combining the easy-drinking appeal of Pinot Grigio with the vibrant character of Albariño, it notes.

Lot 240 Torrontés comes from Argentina's high-altitude Cafayate Valley in Salta. Dry and refreshing despite its expressive floral aromas, the wine delivers lively citrus and floral notes, pairing the freshness of Sauvignon Blanc with the aromatic lift of Riesling in a style that is distinctly Argentine, it says.

The first two wines from the Discovery Series, Lot 236 Pecorino and Lot 240 Torrontés, are available at select retailers and online at the company’s website for a suggested retail price under $15. Two additional Discovery Series wines are slated for later this year, it notes.
