Made from certified organically grown grapes. Dusty violet and red berries on the nose before a light to medium-bodied palate of raspberry and strawberry with earthy hints and a distinctive savoury streak supported by juicy acidity and easy tannins before a gently spicy, lengthy end. Exceptional value.
The discovery of this winery at this year’s Nebbiolo Prima was one of my highlights! Powerful; the cherry, plum, vanilla, spice, cocoa, tar, dried earth carry long into the sunset. With all the tannins, there is a 20-year life ahead.
Yes, another winning Franc from Stratus! Deep ruby with a beguiling nose of crème de cassis, raspberry, damson plum, vanilla, mint, chocolate and spice. The sweet fruit palate adds nuances of vanilla and grilled herbs. Weighty and long. Now until 2024.
Ruby purplish. Garrigue and red berries on spicy oaky notes. Tangy acidity, fresh fruity taste. Soft tannins in a medium-bodied mid-palate. Drink up.
Marine salts from first whiff carry throughout this lees-cushioned, medium-bodied Sicilian white. The local Catarratto grape dominates the blend, complemented by other local and international grapes. Herbal blossoms, hay, yellow apples are perfumed with subtle acacia spices and spiced with a rasp of Mediterranean scrub. A friendly white, ideal for white-fleshed fish.
Select Marechal Foch (66%) and Foch/Cab Sauv (34%) were blended together in this warm vintage year. Scents of raspberry bush and wildfire smokiness bolt from the glass. Intense flavours ensue: blueberry pie, plum pudding, chocolate cake and Christmas spices. Finishes with clove, pepper and cedar. Hearty stew please.
Clear medium-deep garnet. Medium nose of raspberry, blackberry and sweaty leather (in a good way). Medium-bodied, high acidity, good typicity tasting of bright red berries and tart plums. Classic with a traditional tomato-based lasagna. Drink now while the fruit is at its peak.
