Decanter - October 2013
Laura on 24 Sep 2013
Librandi, Ciro Bianco 2012A 100% Greco from the Calabrian COC of Ciro, the producer is self-described as ‘Mediterranean at heat’, which certainly rings true here as this wine is so lively, summery and fruity. There’s a citrus zing to a pear drop and apple sherbet nose with soft, sweet vanilla notes. The palate displays apple, off-dry flavours and a rounded mouth-feel. £9.95
"Must Buy White" for October
Leyda, Pinot Noir Reserva Leyda Valley 2011
Gingery, resinous hints on the nose with aromas of red fruits, roasted peas, blackberry and undergrowth. Freshness and lift, with this invigorating, food-friendly wine, delivered in an earthy, lean style.
Decanter Panel Chilean Pinot Tasting
Leyda Pinot Noir Lot 21 Leyda Valley 2011
Earthy, with brooding nose that shows minty touches to the dark cherry. It is balanced with brisk acidity and raspberry lingering to the end. 17.75/20
South America, Top 50 Under £20
Leyda, Sauvignon Blanc, Garuma Vineyard, Leyda Valley 2012
Composed with a creamy nose, crisp lime aromas and a herbal hint. Palate is restrained but makes an impact with herbal-tinged green fruit. Impressive.
