James Suckling 97 points. Wine Advocate 96 points. Huon Hooke 98points. Tony Love 98 points. James Halliday 97 points. Available in cases of six if required. Very deep, dark, youthful purple/red colour, impressive in the glass. The bouquet is reserved and understated, with more earthy, savoury aromas coming first followed by cassisy cabernet-like nuances, the palate more elegant than expected with lovely purity of concentrated blackberry, blackcurrant cabernet fruit skilfully welded to neatly integrated oak characters. A cracking wine, concentrated but in no way heavy or overwrought. Indeed, it has real elegance. A delicious wine, and...

100% Chardonnay. Bianco Bianco is a naturally semi-sparkling wine made for Rocca delle Macìe in the province of Trento, within one of the most suitable areas for the cultivation of grapes intended for the production of spumante. Once harvested, the Chardonnay (100%) grapes are fermented without the skins, and then the base wine undergoes natural second fermentation. Bianco Bianco is fresh and fragrant, with overtones of just-ripe fruit. It has a fine, persistent bead that makes it suitable both as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to fried vegetable or fish platters.

James Suckling 92 points. 1 Sep, 2022 – Focused and savory with fine, roasted Mediterranean herbs to the sweet strawberries, dried flowers, black raspberries and red dates. Pretty full-bodied with a dense palate, showing juicy yet elegant red berries. Drink or hold. WINERY NOTE: Sulcis 100% Carignano DOC Reserve. An extraordinarily complex wine made entirely from original rootstock 80 year old bush vines. 12 months refinement in French barriques then a further 12 months in bottle before release. This word in Sardinian language literally means”the sands” that is the soil where Carignano is cultivated in ungrafted vineyards...

A blend of 40% each tinta cão and tinta amarela (co-fermented), and 20% touriga separately fermented and blended later. A five-day cold soak and a total of 21 days on skins. The vibrant, striking crimson-purple hue introduces a wine that accompanied me up to dinner on the day it was tasted. The bouquet is intensely floral, with rosehip, cherry blossom and eastern spices, the palate gloriously juicy yet with a mouth-watering, savoury spine. 96 points.

Wine Front (Ray Jordan) 95 points. Huon Hooke , The Real Review , 95 points. COLOUR Deep red  AROMA Immediate Cabernet aromas; Cassis, dry herbs and bay leaves, hints of Shiraz dark fruits PALATE Rich, fleshy and full - bramble berry fruits fleshed out with generous dark fruited Shiraz. A youthful freshness, driven by very fine tannin and balanced acidity WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS For generations known colloquially as ‘Claret’, the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz together highlights the varieties' complementary characteristics. Cabernet for classic tannin structure and bramble berry aromatics, whilst Shiraz carries...

An address ascending. Its GSM, the only one with the prerequisite rivets of savoury tannin, spice and Mediterranean aura in the country. This, its acolyte, is by far the best release of grenache here to date. Mercifully, devoid of eucalyptus. Cherry pie, pomegranate, persimmon, kirsch and a broad slake of star anise, dried thyme and lavender. Alan Varney understands the need for tannin, the pinion of compression and the inherent tension that comes with it, as much as the bulwark against fruit sweetness, something that comes a little too easy in this country. A rather fine wine at a very fair price. 94 points. Ned Goodwin MW Published 02...

This vintage not rated yet but here is the review for the 2022: "The best iteration of Mencía in the country. Think cool-climate syrah in a more savoury, mellifluous guise, smattered with dried thyme, fennel and peppery tannins, a twine of attractive astringency. A sphere of blue-fruited succulence expands across a fullish girth with energy, drive, length and immense joy. Great drinking!"  - 95 Points - Ned Goodwin MW , Halliday Wine Companion 2023. 100 dozen made.   THE VINEYARD Sourced from approximately 10-year-old vines at Oliver’s Taranga Vineyard Seaview, McLaren Vale.

Tim Atkin MW 91 points. “Intense red colour with garnet edge Complex aroma, red fruits, wild herbs Roasted notes of coffee, black chocolate.
