One of my favourite Italian whites - this is made from the Falanghina grape which is the main grape of Campania. Harvested at full ripeness. Fermentation takes place as 70% in stainless steel and 30% in Barrique. See previous note here in April 2025. Not designed for long cellaring. Previous notes still apply. An ideal winter white wine. White flowers, herbal notes with unctuous ripe fruits on the palate. Impossible not to enjoy this. Sadly my last bottle. — 4 months ago

Deep enticing golden color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits and nutty spice, aged for 12 months in steel tanks. On the palate of this Verdicchio, flavors of apple, pineapple and pear with floral citrus notes. Medium+ finish ending with toasty nutty character. Nice value! — 3 years ago

Still have more bottles of this, still a great wine to chill and either simply drink or pair with salads and chicken. — 4 years ago

Checking in… the first of these. Super tight and very young. Bright acidity. Steel, stone. Punchy fruit but all wrapped up and right now. Will be spectacular in a few years. All promise! — 4 years ago

This medium-dry, tannic, not-too-acidic Sav Blanc was aged in steel. Nose of honeysuckle, pear, lychee; flavors feature more tart fruit than citrus. — 4 years ago

A treat to have 2 of Australia’s leading whites as in the Art Series Chardonnay and now the Lovedale Semillon both from 2011. Ironically 2011 was an awful vintage in nearly all of Australia except for Margaret River and the Hunter Valley. This highly awarded old Semillon had aromas of Lanolin, buttered toast with wet straw. All the descriptors of quality aged Semillon. A sweetish palate with a soapy texture. Perfectly balanced with acid diminishing. You can see how UK MWs would swear in the earlier days that these Semillons had been put to wood. They know now that they only ever see stainless steel. — 3 years ago
