"Aromas of lemons, white pears, biscuits and sea shells. Sharp and zesty, with a medium body and waxy texture. Vibrant and refreshing. Chenin. Drink now."

"Sweet with vanilla, salted dark chocolate and dark berries on the nose at first, but then savory aromas of wild herbs and grilled just barely gamy meat. Berries and chocolate continue on the palate, with sanguine, meaty undertones still guaranteeing a richness and depth. Just delicious. — Danielle Callegari"

"This single-vineyard blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from the Bertinga vineyard, owned by Castello di Ama until 2015, is a superb wine. The Sangiovese is vinified in concrete then aged in large Stockinger casks, while the Merlot is vinified in stainless steel and aged in 500l tonneaux. It rests in bottle for four years before release. The result shines for its bright and juicy outlook, the alberese soil having its presence felt in the lovely sapidity and mineral tang which accompanies hedgerow fruits and herbal notes on the textured palate. The finish is full of bold, ripe red, black and blue berries yet carries elegance and freshness."

The 2018 Tinto Quinta da Pellada Woman Label is a blend of all seven blocks of the Pellada properties (unlike the 2018 Pellada in this report). It is a field blend from old vines aged for four years in well-used French oak. The winery has only made this seven-block blend once before, in 2003. Showing beautifully, this is elegant and complex, with moderate tannins and lush texture. The finish is long and persistent, even while nothing is harsh or astringent. This is a beauty that is hard to resist. It will also age well, maybe better than indicated. The name is sort of made up here; it doesn't appear on the label. It just describes the picture compared to the regular Pellado.

The 2018 Pelada is a wine Castro made together with Dirk Niepoort for the first time in 2003 and tried to replicate. It is elegant and drinkable but with complexity and depth. It has citrus freshness, notes of acid berries and very fine tannins.

96 The Real Review

Ranked #1 of 78 2022 Riesling from Clare Valley.
"Very light straw-yellow with a whiff of minerally edginess, dried herbs and dried flowers, a faint suggestion of acetone, then a lemon-juicy palate that is generous and expansive at the same time as it retains its tautness and youthful reserve. There's a mandarin-like juiciness on the back-palate and finish, the aftertaste cleansingly dry. In all, a really delicious riesling that is already highly enjoyable and has a bright future."

Bright and fresh, the fragrant bouquet shows green apple, fresh herb, nectarine and lemon zest aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate offering lively mouthfeel and a lingering crisp finish. At its best: now to 2024.

"Pretty peach, chamomile and rose petal notes make the NV Brut Rosé Gran Cuvée a total pleasure on the nose. There's a wonderful balance of ripe orchard fruit and stimulating citrus concentration carried across a silken wave of fine bubbles. This finishes remarkably fresh yet potent and long, leaving sweet hints of red pear and mint to fade slowly. The Gran Cuvée is a sparkling Aglianico Rose that once again proves the merit and diversity of the variety."

This is instantly appealing on the nose with raspberry, grapefruit, red apple and subtle spice aromas. The palate is equally charming with lovely weight and juicy fruit intensity, finishing vibrant and mouth-watering.

"This rosé is fun yet serious. It opens with crunch and vibrant tart cherries and pomegranate notes with subtle herbal hints in the background. The palate is light and lifted yet complex with a salty and peppery finish. -JP"

92 Decanter

"This crunchy Chiaretto, the result of the separate vinification of Corvina, Rondinella and (traces of) Molinara, is born among the majestic moraines south of the lake. Ageing in stainless steel tanks at 8°C for six months gives delicate notes of red fruits, soft and tasty, enlivened by hints of pepper and aromatic herbs for a harmonious sip."

90 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"With a new generation at the helm of the winery, this is very much a project identified with the young Tancredi Biondi Santi. This 2022 JeT Rosé is a Sangiovese-based rosato made with the special clones farmed at this Maremma estate. The vines are at a cool 520 meters in elevation and measure 12 hectares. However, there are a couple of rows of Cabernet Sauvignon at this site that are not used in this wine. This luminous expression shows cassis, wild berry and grapefruit. There are some dusty mineral notes and a hint of sweetness on the easy close. The first vintage produced was 2019."

Vibrant and bright, fresh strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants, and delicate red flowers. Lovely intensity, good weight, and concentration, with a long savoury finish.

91 International Wine Report

The 2018 Hidden Vines Red Wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry crumble, dark currants, tobacco, dried herbs and floral nuances. On the palate is offers a medium to full body with ripe juicy black and blue fruits that expand through the velvety finish.

The 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Granges Des Papes (60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault) was brought up most in concrete yet saw 20% new French oak. It has a darker fruited, smoky character as well as solid notes of graphite, roasted herbs, licorice, and scorched earth. The oak is nicely integrated, it’s medium to full-bodied, has a supple, soft texture, and outstanding length. It’s going to keep for a decade.
