Wine Reviews

This taut, vibrant wine comes from vineyards planted on high terraces, where the monks built their monasteries in the 12th century. It shows pronounced acidity and an austere and mineral character. This is a wine that will grow in the bottle. Give it a few years and you’ll be surprised how well it develops.

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 wine is a nod to the fine white wines from the Rhône, revealing great volume and creaminess.  It discloses expressive and complex aromas of wild Mediterranean herbs, white flowers and citrus, with a dab of oak.  This is a highly original white wine.

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.

It has neither too little or too much of anything and its succulent character and sweet tannins make it extremely enjoyable to drink.

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.

Marcel Ott, a young agronomist of Alsatian origin, established his wine business 120 years ago, in the firm belief that only the best land could produce the best wines. And, with that in mind, he sought out unique vineyard plots in one of the oldest wine regions in France - Provence.   Sun, sea, and limestone soil… Marcel wanted to revive an area...
