Color: Brilliant ruby Aromatic: Fully ripe wild berries with a spicy undertone, slightly roasted from the ageing which also brings out a complex bouquet of red flower floral notes. Palate: Fruit forward at the beginning with a balanced tannic structure showing later. Fresh and consistently aromatic finish.

Extremely fascinating and polehydric in the primary profile alternating notes of red prunes, currants, coriander, white pepper, bergamot and green mandarin. A lot of lime describes the very fresh secondary scene. Medium bodied, perfectly extracted tannins and a finale with a graceful, subtle closure. Wow!

Antonio Fattori's passion for winemaking traces back to his family's legacy, with roots planted in the early 1900s by his grandfather, who returned from WWI to restore vineyards devastated by phylloxera. Today, the Fattori family continues this tradition, crafting expressive and intriguing wines in Veneto. Their white wines, grown on basalt slopes in the alpine valley, showcase a distinct minerality. Their Soave, made from the Garganega grape, is a dry white wine renowned for its vibrant citrus and honeydew melon notes, accented by a subtle hint of macadamia nut. Easy-drinking and delightful, it captures the essence of the region.

Color: Bright, clear, gold Aromatic: White flesh fruits, lychees and white flowers Palate: Full, round and generous with a good weight and a smooth ripe structure. The fresh aromas carry through to the finish.

The winery of Mas Amiel started with a bet: lost by a Bishop to engineer Raymond Etienne Amiel in 1816. 80 ha with 10 ha planted to vines, the Domaine de Goudous changed hands and the winery began as we know it today. Typically known for fortified wines, the AOC for dry wines was created in 2011. The Origine is made from grapes on 100 year old grenache vines, along with carignan and syrah. The wine is intense with aromas of plum and black cherry. On the palate, it expresses  plenty of style and creamy consistency, combining black berry flavors with a hint of spice. Elegant and refined, this is a gorgeous expression of dry Maury wine.

Cinsault, a historic yet underappreciated grape variety in South Africa, showcases its unique charm in this wine. Departing from the weightier profiles of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, Cinsault offers a lighter, fresher style bursting with vibrant berry flavors. Soft, powdery tannins add to the wine's appeal, balancing the savoury earthiness and leading to a finish marked by lingering spice and unexpected complexity. This wine is a testament to the diversity and potential of South African winemaking.

This 'classic' Margaret River wine exemplifies ease of drinking and purity, boasting a delightful crunchiness and fruit-forward character. It offers a lip-smacking dryness, balanced by crisp acidity, culminating in a clean and refreshing finish that leaves the palate invigorated.

Colour: Cherry. Nose: sweet spices, scrubland, ripe fruit. Palate: spicy, balsamic, good acidity, fresh.

The nose is a light lunch on a rocky beach, where the dusty stones contrast with the sanguinity of bresaola and the richness of sweet chili jam. The jam spreads onto the palate, but the meatiness doesn't go anywhere either, before a crackle of black pepper sets up a lingering finish.

Coastal Region wine, from 1980s vineyards in Stellenbosch and Pearl. A deeply coloured, powerful wine, plenty of substantial presence, slightly meaty nose, a touch of green-tinged dry and ashy character, with lots of sweet fruit, touched with a leafy, savoury character in the finish. The blend is 30/70 Alicante and Tempranillo.

Some attractive citrus elements are present, but bruised-apple notes suggest a certain level of oxidation, and the flavors fall away quickly on the finish.

Another wine from Alvaro Palacios, the wine is made with single vineyard Garnacha (plus 10% other traditional varieties) grown at 616m asl. Lower than normal alcohol for garnacha, Palacios explains that the calcium carbonate soils below the surface keep the roots cool , resulting in a lively, vibrant wine with pungent flavours and fresh red fruits. Ethereal and perfumed, it is reminiscent of walking in the countryside on a warm spring day. Like all Palacios' wines, it's highly rated with the ability to age.

An elegant and perfumed bouquet graced with delightful essences of red cherry, raspberry, violet, and lavender is subtly framed by moderate wood and menthol influences. The palate begins with a caressing mouthfeel that swiftly transitions to a firm, muscular structure, showcasing well-detailed and comparatively robust flavors. This dynamic leads to a vigorous and more harmoniously balanced finish, maintaining its intensity throughout.

This semi-sweet, easy-drinking sparkling red wine is a delightful choice for everyday enjoyment, yet it retains a sense of preciousness. Crafted from the finest grapes of our region, it showcases how an added touch of freshness can serve as an excellent complement to diverse international cuisines, making it not just an enjoyable drink but also a versatile partner for a wide array of dishes.

César Marquez Perez is a rising star among the new generation of Spanish winemakers, focusing on small-scale vinifications of old-vine mencía and godello from small plots known as parajes. Although this wine is mostly Mencia, it features a small percentage of Alicante Bouschet, and an even tinier amount of a field blend of red and white grapes. All grapes are organically grown. Medium-bodied, this delivers plenty of red and black fruit, along with touches of spice and the savory herbal undertones mencía is prized for.

Raw red-fruit aromas are cheesy and lead to a narrow palate with high acidity and raw tannins. Salty plum and red currant flavors border on tart, while this Cab Franc finishes lean and tight, with mild heat and peppery notes.

Cherry-red in appearance, the nose develops a fresh, light, subtly spicy aroma of white pepper. Dominantly fruity, with cherries and strawberries. This dominance is echoed on the palate, with a round, fruity attack and light tannins. The finish is supple, in keeping with the ensemble. An accessible wine with generous fruit.

The nose of this wine is reticent at first but with a decant or time in the glass, elegant aromas of ripe red berries and blue fruits begin to shine through. Hints of clove, cinnamon and savory herbs complement the fruit on the nose. The palate is bright and fresh, with a pop of acidity that keeps the wine from being overpowering. Flavors of Bing cherry, fig and cooked plum shine but do not steal the show, finishing with a savory note. This wine will go great with braised or grilled meats and/or earthy vegetables.

The alcohol is high (15%) but balanced with a lower pH and great acidity. The wine was awarded a perfect 100 points from Wine Advocate.

Miner’s Cabernet Sauvignon Stagecoach Vineyard is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc that spent 21 months in 60% new French oak without being overly impacted by the wood. Scents of crushed stone, pencil shavings, cherries and sage mark the nose of this full-bodied effort, which comes across as tannic and even a bit rugged

This wine is mineral-driven and mysterious, offering distinct hints of crushed rock and crisp red fruit. From the producer's own site, it has a dusty quality to the texture that remains unfettered and sublime in nature, complementing its more savory edges. Virginie Boone
