The La Spinetta Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022 is one of those all-too-rare gems, an affordable great Piedmont wine. Produced from the excellent but incredibly small 2022 harvest, it takes Barbera’s natural intensity and complexity to new heights. Made from 100% Barbera grapes, it was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels rather than the more usual Slavonian oak ones, a luxurious treatment that adds a further dimension to the wine. Like most Barbera’s, the La Spinetta Ca' di Pian B

'Vol de Nuit' is a pure expression of the Carignan grape variety from a selection of 3 very old parcels of vines dating back to 1900. The result is a wine with a very deep colour and an explosion of fruit, black cherry and spice.

94 Points - Robert Parker. The Mas de Mancuso Mancuso Garnacha 2021 is one of the finest Garnacha wines made in Carinena, which is saying something given how many great Garnacha wines are to be found here. Made from old vines that give naturally low yields, it offers a lovely combination of plump, juicy red and black cherry fruit with blackberry and raspberry notes. Medium-bodied and soft, touches of raspberry and loganberry, it's a fresh form of Garnacha, one that bears more than a passing rese

Niepoort’s Redoma Tinto is an outstanding example of the Douro’s new style of red wines.  While produced from a blend of traditional Port varieties - Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz – this is a thoroughly modern wine.  Intervention in the winery is kept to a minimum and while it does receive oak ageing, this is in old Port casks.  The aim is to allow the character of the vineyards and their organic fruit to shine through.  Full of concentrated black fruits, its freshness stops it from

The youngest wine from the Pago de los Capellanes winery has become a true best-seller, always in high demand. Made 100% with Tempranillo grapes from the Santa Gadea vineyards, a farm with poor clay-calcareous soils characteristic of the riverside terroir. The low fertility of the soils results in low high-quality yield with excellent aromas.

A wonderful Burgundian style Pinot Noir from a producer who carefully select fruit from Marlborough's top organic single vineyards to produce wines of great elegance and complexity.
