\nReview: <\/strong>‘You may know the hugely popular MiP* range \u2014 this comes from the same Proven\u00e7al producer and is a little cheaper. A blend of syrah, cinsault and grenache, it\u2019s pale, fresh and tangy, boosted by tropical notes.’<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Guardian, The magic of vintage fortified wines, David Williams, 06\/06\/2021:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘There is a tendency to fetishise old wines, as if the mere fact of age were proof of quality. In reality, very few wines made today are built to last, and even those that are sometimes taste much better in youth. As ever, it depends on your taste: some of us lean towards the more savoury, leathery, woody and earthy flavours that come with keeping a wine for years or decades, while some of us might find more pleasure in the fresh fruit and flowers, the livelier, sharper feel, of wines in the first year or two after vintage. As with the Taylor\u2019s 1896, what those purely sensual descriptions don\u2019t account for is the emotional component of drinking older wines \u2013 I don\u2019t think I\u2019m the only one who gets a little dreamy and contemplative at the thought of drinking a wine from the 19th century \u2013 or, in the case of Valdespino\u2019s magnificently intense, nutty, sherry, drawn from a solera (a continuously replenished set of barrels) that was started in 1842.’<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\nYou Magazine, Tom Parker Bowles & Olly Smith: a classic country pub lunch and rocking ros\u00e9, Olly Smith, 06\/06\/2021:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘This is another brand-new find and it goes straight onto my \u2018wine list\u2019 this month because it is so modern and generous. Grown with some of the highest altitude vineyards in Rioja in the foothills of the Sierra de Tolo\u00f1o, it is a far cry from the sweaty old Riojas of old. This is a spicy, bright and involving wine with a combative palate and lashing of black fruit. This is my char-grilled meat wine for 2021 because we all deserve a superb summer of celebration this year!’<\/em><\/p>\n![\"papillon](\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2019-CROZES-HERMITAGE-Cuvee-Papillon-Domaine-Gilles-Robin.240x700.24539-e1622811734477.png\")

\nReview: <\/strong>‘I bought oodles of this wine from L&S back in the Nineties and early Noughties, but I don\u2019t think I have ever tasted a vintage as lusty and complete at this spectacular 2019. This is stunningly deep and brooding with a lovely purple hue and a pepper and spice nose over a blackberry compote palate. Sappy tannins and superb depth of flavour complete the picture, making this a heroic and yet incredibly friendly wine!’<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘This wine is part of the Made In Provence family and while MiP* itself might be a more famous ros\u00e9, this little devil has a lower price and it is also a brighter and feistier wine! Made from 60% Syrah, 20% Cinsault and 20% Grenache, it has a super-clean, refreshing, cranberry-imbued palate and these tangy notes are augmented with hints of cantaloupe melon and silky rhubarb fool. This is your bargain-priced, restaurant quality ros\u00e9 for the season!’<\/em><\/p>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘This is the brand new vintage of Bert Salomon\u2019s tremendously racy, super-dry Gr\u00fcner. I am in awe of wines with this much tension and drama and the green apple fruit is spiked with white pepper and skin tannins which give it an extraordinary bite. This superbly energetic white wine puts every Sauvignon Blanc in the shade with its attack on the senses and it is an extraordinary aperitif white for every posh canap\u00e9 under the sun.’<\/em><\/p>\n![\"2019-PAZO-DA-MAGA\"](\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2019-PAZO-DA-MAGA-Karma-do-Sil.240x700.25424.png\")

\nReview: <\/strong>‘This is an elite Godello made by mastercraftsman Antonio Lombardia and it balances tremendous fruit complexity, ranging from rhubarb stalks to marian plums and alongside this fleeting exoticism, there is seashell freshness and unnerving bitterness which snaps the palate back to order. This is such a gastronomic treat you can drink it with all manner of seafood and crustacea as well as hefty levels of spicing, too!’<\/em><\/p>\n![\"](\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2019-MACON-VILLAGES-Clos-Saint-Pancras-Domaine-Frantz-Chagnoleau.240x700.22023.png\")

\nReview: <\/strong>‘While this wine has a fair whack of acidity, like the other whites, it is also the proud possessor of unusually delicate Chardonnay fruit. My favourite restaurant wines use acidity to anchor the wine to the palate and cut through any fat or juiciness and then calmness and magical nuances to charm the senses while allowing the food to shine through. This delightful M\u00e2con dances across the palate and caresses your senses.’<\/em><\/p>\n
