This Riesling, from an iconic German producer, is notable for its citrus and tropical aromas.  Sweet on entry to the palate and very refreshing thanks to its lively acidity.  Despite its youth, this is an impeccable wine and we can only imagine the complexity and grandeur it will acquire in a few years’ time.

This is a Sauvignon Blanc of remarkable creaminess, equal in both weight and volume, and possessing great harmony of fruit and oak.  This wine shows the world that Bordeaux does not just produce fine reds,  but that it also produces majestic whites that develop harmoniously in the bottle.

One of the fashionable Ribera del Duero reds from the great Mariano García. This is a dense wine with a dazzling colour, which perfectly combines ripe fruit with lactic touches and fine quality oak, all nicely blended together. Great work that will give us plenty to talk about!

Corteo 2011

|  Comments
A super wine, the fruit of the union of the Gil family and one of the most important New World winemakers,  Australian, Chris Ringland.  Corteo is all power and muscle, extraction and concentration. It has neither too little or too much of anything and its succulent character and sweet tannins make it extremely enjoyable to drink.
