2021
Domaine de la Ragotierre Chardonnay 2021
Joya Branco 2021
Scala Ciro Rosato 2021
One of the most interesting pink wines we’ve come across. 100% Gaglioppo from 30 year old vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district), with a south/south-east exposure – sand and clay soil. Juicy, spicy and ripe, it offers a delightful nose of red cherry, raspberry and aromatic herbs. Finishes long and mineral with a mouth-watering a sweet and sour tang.
An outstanding Rosato showcasing just how suited Gaglioppo is to making pink wines.
Antonio Scala Ciro Blanco 2021
100% Greco, from a 2 hectare vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district). Spicy, fresh aromas of peach, quince and honeysuckle hold much allure. The palate is white spice, salty, fresh and focused. This is an irresistible example of the native Greco grape.
"I think greco bianco (unrelated to Campania’s greco di Tufo) is potentially one of Italy’s best native grape varieties." - Ian d’Agata
Les Deesses Muettes Merlot 2021
Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc ‘Steen Op Hout’ 2021
Appearance is delightfully fresh, showing pale straw-green hues. The nose has initial savoury, herbal aromatics leading to subtle stone fruit and delicate citrus blossom notes. There is a distinct white peach character, as well as a fine, very pleasing oak presence. It shows sensational freshness, and creates a long lasting finish that literally meanders for minutes after each delicious sip.
Real Agrado Rioja Blanco 2021
Maison Sinnae Esprit du Rhône CDR Rosé 2021
Recas 2021 Incanta Pinot Noir
This delicious Pinot Noir from Romania is bright, fresh, and juicy. Full of black cherry, raspberry and cinnamon it really over provides for the price. It’s perfectly light and silky- a really approachable light to medium bodied red. This is a gorgeous pairing for light to red meat, and for mushrooms to winter veggie stew.
