Very pretty indeed, a heady perfume of freshly picked irises and peonies drifts above the crushed berry fruit nose. Ripe tannins and fresh acidity support a palate of Morello cherries, strawberries with wonderfully elegant finish.
Glowing golden-yellow colour and a well-rounded, intense nose that conjures up the original grapes, with notes of tropical fruit. The flavour is dry and full bodied, soft, tangy and caressing, with an elegant, pleasantly persistent fruity aftertaste of ripe pear and green almond.
A fine, delicate dry white with classic Riesling aromas of crunchy fresh green apple, lime and a touch of lemongrass. The palate has citrus and stone fruit characters, with mineral notes adding complexity to the finish.
Fragrant aromas of ripe apricot and citrus and more ripe stone fruit on the palate along with a clean, saline minerality and a zesty lemon sherbert character. The style is appealingly off-dry with a well-balanced, crisp finish.
Fresh, delicate aromas of citrus and pear with hints of lime. The palate is complex with zesty, ripe stone fruit, crisp acidity and mineral notes. The finish is pure, long and elegant with an appealing lightly saline edge.
This Gergenti Organic Frappato, made by organically grown grapes, embodies the unique charm of Sicily. Red ruby colour. The aroma is fresh and fruity with a scent of blueberries and red berries. The grapes are hand-picked in early August. After the harvest, the grapes are left to be macerated with their skins for 6 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After that the wine is aged in the bottle for another month.
Gently spicy and perfumed on the nose with a typically gamey complex palate which is long and flavoursome. A very traditional red Burgundy with real charm and substance.
Poised, yet complex nose with notes of honeysuckle, stone fruit and gentle toasty oak. The palate is beautifully textured, with an almost exotic note, evident yet perfectly integrated oak and ripe fruit. Complex and with a long toasty, citrus finish. The real skill is creatinga wine with such fantastic freshness in as warm a vintage as 2022.
Pronounced black cherry, cedar and spice aromas. The palate is supple yet richly-flavoured with layers of dark plum, bramble fruit and cherry supported by well-integrated tannins. Toasty notes, black pepper and dried fruit characters on the finish.
Fresh almost tropical aromas then stone fruit and citrus on the palate with a creamy texture, mineral notes, vibrant acidity and classic saline characters. Quite ripe and complex in style but with fresh balancing acidity and a classic saline character. This is an absolute benchmark Albariño from one of the top producers - the '23 vintage being oe of the best in recent memory, according to winemaker Diego Ríos.
Granbazán Limousin shows that Albarino can be world class - not just when lees-aged, but also with careful oak maturation. The aromas explode out of the glass with ripe peach, melon and marzipan character. Though this richness carries on to the palate, there is fantastic tension and brightness on display too. Alongside all the fruits the wine has lightly spicy notes and a saline, refreshing finish.
A fresh, pretty and youthful red wine that will mellow as it develops in the bottle. Supple yet with underlying structure, it is quite lifted on the nose with raspberry and floral notes. Packed full of ripe, crunchy red berry fruit backed up with a hint of liquorice and touch of spice. Fresh, elegant and pleasingly simple.
This Italian white wine has a honeyed, floral and spicy nose with hints of ginger and stone fruit. Ripe, sun-dried citrus characters follow on the palate with savoury notes and a creamy texture. There is a fresh balancing acidity and a lightly nutty finish.
