In this Box you will get:
Unico Zelo Mallee Gambit 2022
Viticulturally, Nero looks absolutely at home year after year in Riverland, as it’s able to achieve a balanced level of ripeness. It’s bang-on this year, and as always it looks just that little bit Gamay-esque, almost Cru Beaujolais. Really lovely sweet nutmeg and baking spice aromatics, with a woody, cedary undercurrent, backed up by these bright punchy blue and brambly black fruits.
Francois Ecot Sapucai Rouge 2021
After catastrophic weather conditions in Burgundy, François was forced to look further afield for grapes in 2021 so he approached friends over the border in Catalonia. Despite the devastation to his own vines, he was excited to work with these different varieties. A blend of Tempranillo, Syrah, Merlot and Carignan. Medium-bodied, slightly savory & delicious blend.
Abbazia san Giorgio Rosso dei Sesi 2021
Pignatello coming from volcanic soils. A wine that embodies all the Mediterranean splendor of Pantelleria. Fruit-forward wine with notes of red berries and plum, Mediterranean herbs and sea breezes. Anticipates a lean, agile and tasty sip, supported by a measured tannin and a fine sapid-mineral vein. Artisanal wine made with old style methods.
Grape Republic Rosso 2021
This blend is crafted from co-fermented Steuben (71%) and Niagara (10%), each spending eight days on skins. It is then combined with a co-ferment of Steuben and Delaware (29%), with a six-day skin contact. After a brief maturation in stainless steel, the wine is bottled, boasting a 10.5% alcohol. Juicy on the palate, nice slosh and light crunch, thirst-quenching style.
La Salada Roig Boig Tranquil 2021
Biodynamic. Sumoll, Roigenc, Mandó, Cannonnau, Parellada and Xarel-lo. The vineyard was planted in 2006 with these ancient Catalan grapes on calcareous clay soil. Direct press on 90% of the grapes, the other 10% is minimally macerated for 4 months. Fermented and aged in stainless steel. Light and breezy.
Latta Presence 2022
Slurpy, crisp, crunchy red. Raspberry, pomegranate juice, cranberry drink. Lots of all that in perfume and palate. Some mint and liquorice here too. Cool and fresh. Light and good times style. The tension in the wine is really doing good things. A delight, with turbo high drinkability. Drink with a light chill.
