Springfield 2019 Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon
Springfield adopts a minimal-intervention approach in making its Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine takes its name, 'Whole Berry' from its vinification – with grapes macerated whole, then fermented with natural yeasts, racked, and finally matured in French oak for one year. The wine has a velvety-smooth texture with soft tannins and typical Cabernet Sauvignon notes of red fruits and hints of cedar. A tremendous bottle of Cabernet for the price.
Graceland 2024 Strawberry Stellenbosch
This wine is an exquisite blend of complexity and grace, boasting prominent fruit aromas reminiscent of blackberries, tart cherries, cassis, and subtle hints of strawberries.
Its structure is impeccably balanced, offering a rich, creamy body that envelopes the palate. Velvety in texture, it delivers a mouth-filling experience complemented by harmoniously integrated barrel nuances and undertones of dark chocolate.
The ripe tannins reflect the characteristic structure of Shiraz, culminating in a lingering finish that defines elegance reminiscent of Bordeaux-style wines.
Pelle 2018 Salon Rouge Morogues
100% Pinot Noir grown on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone. Aged in a combo of 70% wood *Foudres and used 400L barrels) and 30% tank for 12 months.
The terroir of the village of Morogues combined with strict vineyard practices results in a beautiful Pinot that would not be out of place in a tasting of Volnays.
La Rivolta 2019 Aglianico Del Taburno
100% Aglianico. “Outstanding example of what the Aglianico variety can deliver in the right hands. Ripe red cherry, orange peel and sweet herb aromas. Then rich, fresh and perfumed in the mouth, displaying outstanding cut and clarity to the vibrant red berry and blue fruit flavors. Finishes with a dusting of minerals and botanical herbs. Still very young and will age well.”

Croix Mouton 2018 Bordeaux Superieur
91 Decanter: “This is an extremely good Croix Mouton and should be good value – it’s juicy and well put together with raspberry and crushed blackberry fruits abound.”
Croix Mouton produces wines intended for pleasure, and excellent while still young. Entirely Merlot-driven, they are full-bodied and rich in flavour, easy to drink but with finesse, and have a stunning display of fresh red fruit on the palate. After the release of its first vintage, Château Croix Mouton was very quickly recognized by Bordeaux wine experts as being excellent value for money.
