A classic old world selection.
Lavradores de Feitoria Douro Branco, 2019: Very fresh and aromatic, with a vibrant nose of fresh citrus, apricot and pineapple. A classic Douro white with good minerality supported by flavours of ripe orchard and stone fruits. Superb value wine!
Domaine Nadine Ferrand Macon Blanc, 2018: Lovely honeysuckle and honeycomb notes, white flowers and a touch of cinnamon-dusted melon and tropical fruits on the nose. Juicy and succulent but a rich vein of fresh acidity and great crunchy apple finish. This is a very good entrée de gamme Macon.
Volpi Terre Siciliane Grillo, 2019: A straw yellow colour, with fine and elegant aromas of grapefruit and citrus blossom. On the palate, there is an abundance of citrus fruit and a nice minerality.
Weingut Schnaitmann Pinot Noir 'Junge Reben', 2017: Huge care and attention in the vineyard, following organic principles, then a highly flavour extractive vinification. This leads to powerful and intense wines where the fruit is allowed to dominate, alongside earthy, spicy and herbal flavours.
La Giaretta Valpolicella Volpare, 2018: Look no further than this for the ultimate in crunchy red fruits and supple Summer berries.
Familia Nin-Ortiz Planetes de Nin, 2016: "... This is a fresher vintage, with tantalizing aromas that are subtle and elegant, with notes of violets and red cherries, nuanced and ever-changing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and nicely textured, with very fine tannins and fine chalky minerality. 9,108 bottles were filled in April 2017." 95+ pts, Luis Gutiérrez, WA
