Wine Reviews

Many first wines would like to be of the quality of this second wine from the iconic Milmanda.   This is a more accessible wine with nice aromatic complexity, a blend of fruit and floral aromas, accompanied by subtle notes derived from its ageing.  It is fresh and smooth on the palate, preserving the fruity aromas and a balanced acidity.

This wine, from the pioneers in the production and marketing of the Albariño grape in Galicia, is the culmination and the ultimate expression of this variety.  This is a wine of great character and in a style that is more mature than fruity.  It has a long-lingering aftertaste and a slight bitterness that gives it great depth.

This is one of the most famous wines from the tiny Barsac Sauternes appellation and was the first 1er Cru to obtain biodynamic certification (Ecocert). It is rich, aromatic and intense with lashing of honey and orange blossom. It is not at all cloying on the palate, thanks to the acidity created by the Botrytis.
