An emerging region in southeastern Spain that’s offering great bang for the buck. A nose of blueberry, cherry, plums and light spice. The mouth shows bright plums and berries with grippy tannins and a kiss of oak spice. The ultimate porch-sipper when unexpected thirsty neighbours show up at the door. Serve with tapas.
A blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo. Deep ruby in colour with a sandalwood and coconut nose masking fruit at the moment. Medium-bodied and dry, with strawberry purée and coconut flavours and a tannic lift on the finish.
This LBV easily matches and bests Vintage Ports, which are double or triple the price. From the fabulous 2011 vintage, this wine possesses an opaque black/purple colour and a profile of damson plum, kirsch, chocolate, mint and spice. Approachable now but has the stuffing to improve over the next decade. If you are a port lover, do not miss this opportunity!
Greets with grassy, lemon-y aromas and hint of spiciness. The round mouthfeel delivers passion fruit and gooseberry flavours and a subtle oiliness. Vanilla spiciness accompanies the short, clean finish. Fish ‘n’ chips would hit the spot.
Clear medium yellow. Decently expressive nose of roses, lychee and peaches, with a bit of herbal greenness. On the light-bodied side, with more lychee flavours accented with some rose petal bitterness. Will last a couple more years.
Very pale straw in colour. Aromatic honeysuckle and peach bouquet suggest sweetness, but the wine is delightfully dry and beautifully balanced. Light and fragrant on the palate with fresh tangerine acidity that sustains the peach-lychee flavour. Clean and true: the perfect summer wine.
Sourced from a warmer site in Osoyoos, stainless steel fermented with native yeast. Vibrant orchard fruit and citrus aromas, intensely flavoured layers of lemon, lime and peach on the palate, enhanced by generous mouthfeel from eight months in concrete eggs, underpinned by racy acidity through a persistent, zesty end.
