Case Via Colli Toscana Centrale Syrah 2013

Remarkable syrah with tons of cocoa and cherries. Also some typical (italian?) acidity.
Good effort.

Mezcla Blanca White Blend 2019

Reisling 64% Chardonnay 20% Torontel 16%
The nose has the citrus and petrol of Riesling, the yellow apples of chardonnay. A weighty mouthfeel of creamy yellow apples with soft but present citrusy acid. A perfect winter white! ❄️

Via del Campo Falanghina 2021

At dinner the other night, we ordered this in place of the Kenzo Sauvignon Blanc and it did not disappoint. Lovely tropical fruit notes. It was a great substitute for our favorite wine. — 9 months ago

Blanco Reserva Tres Viñas Rioja Viura Blend 2016

I’ve had three bottles of this in the cellar for the last few years and, for no particular reason, haven’t touched them. Tonight I thought I’d pull the cork on one to enjoy with Manchego and Serrano ham, as an appetiser ahead of some Spanish cuisine at home tonight. I can’t recall where I bought these, but they weren’t expensive - and this wine certainly overdelivers for the price. It has a classical, fresh bouquet of blanched almonds, nectarines, and clementines. The palate is medium bodied, juicy, saline and fresher still, with a hint of orange bitters on the finish. Enjoyable stuff! — 7 months ago

Branco de Santa Cruz Valdeorras Godello Blend 2018

A big, silky white with prominent non-friut aromas... floral (almost petrol), herbs and minerals... and hints of yellow apple and lemon. Lush on the palate with some citrus acid and lingering minerals. Paired with halibut cheeks over chevre-sauced pasta. Happy birthday to me!! — 9 months ago
