In the Press - June 2013Valli

Our New Zealand wines loved by the press - Bell Hill & Valli

Will Lyons explores New Zealand's Pinot Noir—and is seduced by some Antipodean brilliance.

"Out of the whole tasting... my favorites came from here: Bell Hill."

"I hadn't tasted Valli before but from my notes what immediately impressed was the classical structure of this wine. It was no surprise that winemaker Grant Taylor had experience with Burgundy producer Dujac under his belt. This is a wine that can age with a gentle, genuine Pinot perfume and bright acidity."

Drink in the sun: The season's best wines

From complex English sparkling wine to juicy Sicilian reds...

Tom Cannavan writes about his visit to Steenberg and has written some wonderful tasting notes.

"Many visitors to Cape Town will know Steenberg. Not only are their excellent white wines a feature on so many restaurant wine lists, but their beautiful estate is 20 minutes from the centre of the city and comes complete with golf course, luxury hotel and spa and a choice of extremely popular restaurants."

Bell Hill

"I was particularly impressed by the purity and finesse of the Bell Hill wines. It's a shame that they make such small volumes but perhaps that is what allows them to be quite so pernickety."
