Quinta Da Romaneira Ten-Year-Old Tawny

The Spectator, Seven wines to enjoy on cosy nights in, Jonathan Ray, 12/10/2020:

2017 Zellenberg Marcel Deiss
2017 ZELLENBERG Domaine Marcel Deiss
£24.95 | £22.25
Review: ‘I adore the wines of Alsace and probably drink more of them than I do the wines of any other region in France. It’s to my eternal shame, then, that I had never come across Domaine Marcel Deiss before. This blend (a rarity in Alsace) of biodynamically-farmed Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris is full of creamy peaches and pears, honey and lemon and yet finishes perfectly and refreshingly dry. I found it completely irresistible.’

The Guardian, Italian jobs: the best wines from Tuscany, David Williams, 04/10/2020:

2019 Rosso Di Montepulciano Dei
2018 ROSSO DI MONTEPULCIANO Cantine Dei
£16.95 | £15.25 SOLD OUT IN 2018
Review: ‘There are some stupefyingly high prices for Tuscan wines these days, but the £10 to £20 range, where you’ll find the super-supple, cherry-berry fragrant Cantine Die Rosso di Montepulciano 2018 can be a real sweet spot.’
