Pieropan Soave Classico 2023 is straw yellow in colour, with greenish hints. On the nose it has aromas of almond blossoms and marzipan, with a touch of citrus. On the palate it is rounded and has flavours of ripe fruit perfectly balanced by a fresh, clean acidity that enhances its long length.
An attractive wine, with flavours of sweet, dried cherry, mint, tobacco and sage. A savoury style of Pinot Noir, with plenty of aromatic presence, and plenty of fruit in the background.
‘Zeta’ Pegaso 2021 is ruby in colour, this wine is floral and expressive on the nose. Primary aromas of red fruits blend with complex nuances of minerality and spice. The palate has a good weight sensation, mainly given by the intense and deep fruit flavours, whereas the finish is fresh, juicy and clear, yet persistent.
The 2021 vintage started with a mild autumn. Winter was marked by the strong Filomena storm that brought 40 cm of snow and 10 days with temperatures below 10ºC. The year continued with a late bud break, followed by a frost at the beginning of April that had an impact on the volumes. Summer was generally mild except for a heatwave that was accompanied by wildfires in the villages of Cebrero. Rain at the key harvest time was another challenge in 2021, but with thorough grape selection, the quality of the wines was excellent.
This wine is bright ruby-garnet in colour. With the grapes sourced from different sub-areas of Serralunga, there is a spectrum of perfumes on the nose, ranging from spicy to sweet, floral and fruit. The palate is a classic example of the region; full-bodied, elegant and well structured, with great ageing ability.
Winter saw mild temperatures and little rain and snow resulting in an early start of vegetation growth. The first part of spring was dry and sunny. Between May and July frequent rainfalls slowed down the growth and provided soils with precious water which, together with average summer temperatures, prevented water stress. Although veraison started early, the cooler nights in September made up for the early start, slowing down the vegetation growth, granting perfect ripeness and excellent ph and acidity levels.
An outstanding example of a Nuits-Saint-Georges Villages. Aromas of black cherry, blueberry and blackcurrant are married with a subtle spiciness from the oak. Supple on the palate, with velvety tannins and a mouthwatering acidity which drives the complex flavours onto the long finish.
2021 was a challenging vintage for winegrowers and producers in Burgundy. There were historically low yields due to catastrophic spring frost and hail, compounded by a cold, wet growing season. It is a return to a more classic vintage marked by bright acidity and freshness thanks to the cooler temperatures and resulting slower ripening, which allowed for full flavour development.
Deliciously fragrant Marlborough pinot noir, packed with blackberries and kola nut, intermingled with scents of rose petal and woodsmoke. The palate is medium-bodied and bright, layered with black liquorice, plum pudding and allspice. Finely structured with intense varietal expression, the abundant dark fruit flavours are laced with silky tannins and earthy tones to give a lingering and beguiling finish.
The 2022 growing season was marked by significant rain. The wet weather began in winter, carrying through until late spring – a stark contrast to 2021. December and January continued warm and excellent vineyard growth was experienced across the region when ex-tropical cyclone Dovi dropped 160 mm of rain over the first three weekends of February. Fortunately this coincided with cooler temperatures and southerly breezes, minimising disease pressure. Despite plenty of challenges the grapes enjoyed a successful ripening season and the resulting harvest was of excellent quality.
The 2023 Barbera d’Alba is lively purple in colour. The wine is fresh on the nose with aromas of red berries, roses, and fresh plums. The palate is crisp and juicy with layers of sweet red and black cherries, warm spices, and dark berries.
The 2023 vintage was a lovely vintage in Barolo, despite some erratic weather which hit many regions across Italy. The season was long, with an early bud break in mid-March. This was followed by early flowering and a late harvest. Excellent diurnal shifts developed wonderful aromatics. The cluster size was reduced leading to lower yields of very healthy grapes.
The 2021 Chardonnay Santa Rita Hills Cuvée shines with brightness and precision. Aromas of citrus, white flowers, slate, and a hint of white pepper are elegantly layered, offering remarkable clarity. Its crisp, saline-driven finish is exceptionally refined and captivating.
This wine displays a vibrant ruby hue with subtle russet undertones. The nose reveals enticing aromas of toast and coconut, complemented by complex tertiary notes of leather and an earthy nuance. On the palate, it offers a fruit-forward profile featuring pronounced red berry and dried fruit flavors, accented by a touch of spice from oak aging. Smooth, silky tannins provide a rounded texture, leading to a long, intricate finish.
2020 was an incredibly hot vintage in the Cote d’Or. Winter was mild followed by an early budburst in the spring. The heat continued through the summer with drought being a challenge, as a result verasion also came early. The end of season storms did alleviate some of the troubles and so the grapes produced were of good quality with wines providing surprising freshness considering the heat.
Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required.
