Wine
Violet Hill 2021 Pinot Noir
Garofoli 2022 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi
Springfield Albariño 2022
Only the second Albariño to ever be made in South Africa's Cape. It's crafted sustainably with a 'hands off' approach and only in small quantities. But what little there is tastes fantastic. It's complex and rich, with flavours of apricot, nectarine and that vital saline minerality and bright acidity. Try this with white fish or oysters.
Springfield Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Springfield adopts a minimal-intervention approach in making its Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine takes its name, 'Whole Berry' from its vinification – with grapes macerated whole, then fermented with natural yeasts, racked, and finally matured in French oak for one year. The wine has a velvety-smooth texture with soft tannins and typical Cabernet Sauvignon notes of red fruits and hints of cedar. A tremendous bottle of Cabernet for the price.
Springfield Methode Ancienne Chardonnay 2020
The Springfield Méthode Ancienne Chardonnay is special because it was made using ancient techniques rarely used in the New World: The fermentation takes place spontaneously with wild yeast in a combination of new and used French oak barrels. There is no fining or filtration. Thus, a wine of distinctive and classical character, it will develop slowly and is made to last a lifetime. Nuances of lime, cointreau and oranges – a big wine with classical character.
Fauvin Chenas 2019 Tradition
Domaine des Corbillieres Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2021
A refreshing white wine that boasts vibrant acidity against a backdrop of bright fruit flavours. The nose presents citrus and tropical fruit aromas, followed by a lush palate of green apple and grapefruit, finally ending with a crisp, clean finish. A perfect match for seafood dishes, salads, or as an aperitif.
Pazo De San Mauro 2021 Albarino
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2021 Vintage): Aromas of grapefruit, yuzu and chopped parsley prepare the palate for flavors of lemon-lime, pineapple, white chocolate and almond blossom. This wine is soft in the mouth and offers a long, zesty finish. - Mike DeSimone
Characterized by a high aromatic intensity with an expressive, fresh and very fruity bouquet. It offers clearly defined varietal aromas of green apple and citric scents and presents plenty of minerality and vivacity on the palate, with hints of lemon, grapefruit and apple, a silky sensation and a persistent finish. An especially Atlantic style vintage, very mineral and refreshing.
Rivolta Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno 2017
93 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
– Ian d’Agata (Vinous)
Rivolta Aglianico Del Taburno 2017
100% Aglianico. “Outstanding example of what the Aglianico variety can deliver in the right hands. Ripe red cherry, orange peel and sweet herb aromas. Then rich, fresh and perfumed in the mouth, displaying outstanding cut and clarity to the vibrant red berry and blue fruit flavors. Finishes with a dusting of minerals and botanical herbs. Still very young and will age well.”
