Niepoort’s Redoma Tinto is an outstanding example of the Douro’s new style of red wines.  While produced from a blend of traditional Port varieties - Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz – this is a thoroughly modern wine.  Intervention in the winery is kept to a minimum and while it does receive oak ageing, this is in old Port casks.  The aim is to allow the character of the vineyards and their organic fruit to shine through.  Full of concentrated black fruits, its freshness stops it from

92 Points - Wine Spectator. One of the most amazing Californian Zinfandels you can find in the UK. Big flavours, big body, big abv content, but everything is in harmonious balance. “Juvenile” comes from young vines (6-25 years old), interplanted, from several of their old vine designated vineyards – including Hayne, Ueberroth, Pesenti, Salvador and Vineyard 101.

Geisberg is one of the smallest of Alsace’s Grand Cru vineyards and is famed for producing fine, fresh and long-lived Rieslings.

The largest, oldest, and most famous of Alsace’s Grand Cru vineyards, Schlossberg has all the noble Alsatian grapes planted on its steep, lofty slopes, but most producers favour Riesling owing to the spectacular results that can be achieved here.
