Aromatic with loads of strawberry, raspberry, citrus and cranberry, juicy acidity, and great balance and weight. Hits far above its price point. A blend of Vinhão and Touriga Nacional. Roasted suckling pig or tandoori chicken are ideal.
This Cab is still tight and requires another year in bottle before showing its full potential. That being said, mocha, spice, cassis, coffee, plum and herbs are all in the mix. Very good length and firm tannins round everything out. Serve it with grilled rosemary-scented lamb chops.
Shows wonderful concentration of bright cherry, liquorice and a touch of earth; well-constructed with a full body, but soft, elegant tannins, great approachability and a long finish. Roast rabbit or pork would be a great partner.
This blend of 85% Garganega and 15% Trebbiano di Soave spent only a few months in large, neutral oak. Apple, almond and ripe peach scents. Complex citrusy flavour and zesty acidity on a medium-plus body. Long, minerally finish, with a hint of marzipan. Delicious with asparagus risotto.
Kellye Robertson, head brewer at Dartmouth’s all-lager brewery, Spindrift, has created a modern version of the German Schwarzbier. Using 7 specialty malts to amp up the body, the result is a complex nose and aroma: notes of dark bread crusts, dark fruit, toasted nuts, ash and cacao swirl together on a lean, light-bodied black brew. Overall, the crisp, clean sip is effortlessly integrated.
Pale straw colour with peach, sweet apple, pear, mineral, vanilla, spice and a hint of nuttiness. There is 14% alcohol, smooth texture and excellent length. Nice balance. No need to cellar as it is ready to drink.
Bright straw/gold colour showing attractive floral and green herbal hoppy scents with equally appealing citrus and lightly malty flavours, finishing with light hoppy bitterness. Easy to like but characterful.
