"Aged on the lees for four years in the bottle, Hattingly Valley's Classic Reserve layers mellow sophistication upon the inherently vibrant fruit conferred by England's growing conditions. The bubbles form a classically fine 'mousse', and the aromas and flavours evoke bright lemon, hedgerow blossom and baked apple, with toasted brioche and slivered almonds. It has marvellously fine texture and a lovely finish. This is a Champagne-style blend: the largest component being Chardonnay, followed by Pinots Noir and Meunier."
"Aveleda's Alvarinho Vinho Verde has the region's characteristic fresh, tingly vibrancy, overlaid with gorgeously unctuous richness. It has lavish, succulent ripe peach, honey and tropical fruit notes. Delicious!"
"The nose of this wine displays an enticing mix of white stone fruits and sweet pineapple with an underlying hint of ginger. The palate is luscious and flavoursome, again nectarine and peach are prominent, with a twist of candied citrus rind.These sweet flavours evolve through the palate into more savoury flavours reminiscent of raw almonds and spice. A generous, textural wine with surprising finesse on the finish."
"Deep, vibrant purple-red. Beautifully ripe and fresh berry fruit aromas and flavours: mulberry, raspberry and strawberry. Dry in the mouth, with gentle tannin structure, it shows fabulous intensity with lovely persistence of strawberry fruit on the finish. A wine with a definite Bordeaux sense of place. This is a fabulous example of the care, attention and passion that goes into some of the more affordable wines of Bordeaux. Stéphane and Laurence Dupuch are extremely choosy about what types of vine they plant in different locations, to ensure that each reaches its full potential. White grape varieties go on clay-limestone soils, while reds are on well-drained gravel plots to ensure consistent ripening and flavour concentration. "
"Clean and intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits, with spicy notes from the Crianza, and mineral hints. Rich and powerful on the palate, tasting again fruity and oaky flavours perfectly integrated. On the finish the wine is long, persistent and fruit driven."
"Opaque purple-red colour. Concentrated yet sophisticated aromas of black cherry, purple plum, damson purée, vanilla and crème brûlée. This is a bigger, more velvety wine than the regular Mascota Malbec, and you can tell that it has been aged in French oak from its subtlety and beautiful integration of fruit and wood character. Beautifully soft, seamless texture, with fragrant, complex malted cereal notes on the finish. This is made from fruit grown in the exciting, high-altitude Uco Valley within the wider Mendoza region."
