This single vineyard Gamay shows more complexity and depth on the nose with a meaty/charcuterie/barnyard nose, darker fruits and earth. The fruit shines on the palate with plums, cherries and brambly raspberries to go with meaty/funky/earthy notes and a perky finish. Aging this a couple of years would bring more integration to the overall package.
You can always count on Fielding to make a solid Riesling, regardless of the vintage. Here you will find a ripe personality of peach, honey, flowers, tutti frutti and a touch of honey. Good weight, balance and acidity round out the mix.
This blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, with lesser amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, originates from Salentein’s oldest cool-climate high-altitude vineyard in the Valle de Uco. Aged 16 months in French oak barrels, it exhibits characteristic Argentinian Malbec red currant character together with Cabernet Sauvignon’s varietal green herbal, blackcurrant and blackberry notes overlaid with scents of cinnamon, clove and vanilla oak. It is full-bodied, with concentrated sweet, ripe dark fruit, firm but supple tannins and a complex, well-integrated finish.
This Malbec/Corvina blend was made in the appassimento style, using dried Corvina grapes with fresh Malbec juice, resulting in a clash of soft and harsh on the hotter palate. Ripe, downy red and purple fruits is framed with bitter cocoa tannins and finishing with a twist of bitter espresso on the dried out finish.
Dark colour with purplish rim. Deep nose; the fruity aromas are covered by the oak expression of spices and pastry cream. Very full-bodied and very concentrated, thick texture, tight but tender, chunky tannins. Heavy but balanced. Excessive? Certainly impressive.
A nose of creamy stone fruit that’s pure and fresh with just a squirt of lemon and grapefruit. You get a sense of texture on the palate with creamy peach, melon and citrus lifted by firm acidity.
You won't find a better Gewürz at this price: pale straw colour with a spicy, lychee and rose-petal nose; richly extracted fruit, lovely mouthfeel. A pleasure to drink.
