The Els Pics Priorat is a blend of Grenache, Merlot and Syrah with the grape being drawn from several small, high-quality sites across the plateau and coastal-influenced slopes.

The vineyard of Nuits-Saint-Georges is recognised as an area producing some of the world’s greatest Pinot Noir wines, and the Premier Cru parcel of “Les Crots” is exposed at the top of the hillside, at an altitude of 275m on an escarpment which requires vine cultivation in terraces and handpicking. The unique features of this plot allows the vines to mature late and to produce grapes boasting exceptional concentration. This 2012 "Les Crots" is now reaching maturity, developing a complex bouquet

90 Points - Gilbert et Gaillard. The Waterford Estate Antigo 2020 is a distinguished red blend hailing from the renowned Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The name “Antigo” is inspired by the distinctive red clay soils of the specific Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard that forms the backbone of this blend. These rich soils impart a unique character to the wine, offering plush and elegant fruit aromatics, along with softer, sweeter tannins compared to other Waterford Estate offerings.

Domaine de Margüi can trace its roots back to Roman times through ruins and amphorae discovered in 2002. In 2017, the Domaine was fully renovated and became part of the Skywalker Vineyards collection.

90 Points - Falstaff. The history of this very old vineyard begins in the 13th century. Château la Tour de Mons, formerly Tour de Marsac, took in 1623 the name of its owner Pierre de Mons. Château La Tour de Mons was later sold to the Clauzel Crunchet family and then bought back in 1995 by a group of institutional investors, Crédit Agricole and Caisse des Dépôts and Placements du Québec. Since, very important works of renovation and modernisation were carried out in order to restore its past. Vi

A bold yet refined expression of Alto Adige’s signature grape. Deep ruby in colour, it opens with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, violets, and a hint of dark chocolate.

Viandante is the boldest creation of Viandante del Cielo, a wine of structure and poise modelled on the great vintages of Bordeaux, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with an important Merlot supporting act.

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. Whilst it offers sumptuous, joyous fruit, it also gives more than a glimpse of Turley’s single vineyard wines. Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Jan

92 Points - Wine Spectator. The Jayson Red Wine was produced from grapes from a selection of prime sites in and around Atlas Peak in eastern Napa. Hailing from the outstanding 2021 vintage, a year noted for its opulence, this blend of 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon is wonderfully full and plump. The grapes were hand-picked and hand-sorted before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks to enhance its fresh fruit profile and retain its bright acidity. The wine was then racked into
