Podere Poggio Scalette 2014 Il Carbonaione
Italian Red
Violet, lavender and clove lead a bright, finely drawn nose, with cherry and raspberry adding pure fruit. The palate is lithe and energetic, balancing ripe depth with fresh acidity and ultra-fine tannins. Persistent rather than heavy, it carries floral and herbal detail through the finish. Serve with roast poultry, pork, mushroom dishes or rosemary-scented lamb.
ColleMassari 2014 Poggio Lombrone Montecucco Sangiovese Riserva DOCG
Italian Red
Nik Weis – St. Urbans-Hof 2014 Wiltinger Alte Reben Riesling
German White
Bright and flinty on the nose, with lavender lifting the wine's delicate fruit. The palate is lean, precise and elegant, balancing gentle off-dry sweetness with salty minerality and clear acidity. Dried peach, glazed apricot and a touch of smoke broaden the profile, while slate, white pepper and sea salt extend the finish.
Quilceda Creek 2014/20 Cabernet Sauvign
American Red
Blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry and plum are layered with violet, graphite, anise, cocoa and a restrained cedar note. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate carries polished tannins, fresh structure and a long savoury-mineral finish. Decant for roast beef, lamb or deeply flavoured mushroom dishes.
Domaine des Baumard 2014 Savennières Trie Spéciale
French White
Light gold in colour, with fig, peach, warm spice and almond on the nose. The palate is dry, rounded and powerful, carrying ripe fruit with a broad, polished texture. Chenin's natural freshness and the mineral imprint of schist and sandstone keep the richness composed. Serve as an aperitif or with shellfish, prawns, veal or lightly sweet-savoury sauces.
