"This a textbook, elegant style of Marlborough Pinot, with pretty aromatics of cranberry, tobacco leaf, baking spice, red plum and cherry. The palate has layered fruit, nice flow, a touch of oak, moderate tannins and good carry. Fruit is drawn from across the region, including the Southern Valleys, Awatere and the tiny southern subregion of Kekerengu Coast. Winemaker Simon Waghorn...

"There's convincing weight to the 2022 Pinot Gris Sleepers Vineyard from the Kēkerengū Coast. This is a dry, full-bodied, savory New Zealand interpretation of Pinot Gris. Yes, it has pure pear and apple fruit notes plus a fragrant florality, but they've also managed to capture savory, pastry hints and a spiced character that sparks memories of dining out in Alsace....

Fresh pomegranate and raspberry-leaf aromas meet with singed sage, tea leaf and raw pork...

Today, the 2022 is a bit stern in terms of its tannins. While I don’t see the seductive fruit and inner perfume of Giacosa's best Asilis, the 2022 is still one of...

" A tangy raspberry and pomegranate attack is followed by some ripe dark fruits wrapped in soft, open-knit tannins. Tenuta San Guido sources the Sangiovese for Le Difese from family friends in nearby Chianti Montespertoli and Chianti Rufina, but as a result of the widespread peronospora (downy mildew) in 2023, the percentage has dropped from 70% in 2022 to 65%...

"From a parcel located just above Grand Cru Les Blanchots. Clean and mineral with notes of lemon and white flowers. Classic, saline, pure and elegant. Lovely." Armit Wines
