Aromas of citrus and orange blossom open with every swirl. Smooth and beautifully balanced, notes of yellow apple, meyer lemon and pear layer with suggestions of toasted macadamia and creamy almond. Hints of light toast and spice lift the fruit characteristics. The palate is rich, full and beautifully textured before finishing with a crisp and deli

This Barolo from Cagliero is pure and authentic, beautiful structure with a bouquet of violets, ripe fruit (plums) and spices. Layered and round in the mouth and beautifully balanced, young but pleasant tannins on the tongue, resulting in an endless finish. Already very good today, this wine will age beautifully for years to come! 6 * Cagliero Rave

After an enforced eight-year break in the early 2010s, where they were prohibited from making Zinfandel, Orin Swift Cellars delved into various grape varieties in California to great success. The 2021 vintage of Eight Years in the Desert is the fifth instalment of a rare and cherished wine. This exceptional Zinfandel boasts a deep maroon core and opens with captivating aromas of wild blackberry, pepper, oatmeal raisin cookie, forest floor, bay leaf, and spices. The taste is

The Beauroy site – the ‘climat’ – has Premier Cru status, and with its fine mix of limestone-rich soils, it gives wines that are fresh, clean and mineral-soaked. Sylvain Mosnier produces traditionally styled wines – no new oak here – that drink well young but which have the capacity to age and develop in bottle. 6 * Sylvain Mosnier Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy 2021 Wine Press Ratings 91 Points - Gilb

The brainchild of Dirk Niepoort, it's predominantly a blend of Malvasía, Rufete, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Francesa produced from vineyards that are between 70 and 100 years old. Grapes are painstakingly vinified to give a wine that is full of red berry flavours, yet is refined and elegant, before 22 months in oak adds even greater complexity and depth. 6 * Niepoort Batuta Tinto 2014 Vivino Rating

Mercury Head Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine of Orin Swift and emphasises their guiding principle: Without quality grapes, great wine is impossible. It comes from the best lots from very select vineyards in Napa Valley and the wine is a testament to those vineyards, to their principle and to what is possible in Napa Valley. The Liberty Dime on each bottle symbolises winemaker Dave Phinney's favorite coin in his collection growing up and his most prized possession. 6 * Orin Swift Mercury
