  Avondale Anima 2017, Paarl South Africa

  £25.00 Buy This is without doubt one of our favourites wines, and an absolute bargain consider the quality. After some time in the decanter, and served cool not cold, Anima 17' boasts a beautifully enticing and complex nose of buttered pear, hazelnut, cashew, yogurt, citrus peel, chalk and steely minerality. Those wonderful aromatics pass from the nose to the palate effortlessly. The presence, weight and texture of this vintage is quite remarkable. There's the classic minerality and acidity you expect from a Chenin, but there's much more flesh and cream than you'd expect. A touch of salinity and nimble acidity balances the rich fruit quite perfectly. As for the finish, it doesn't let itself down here either. Layers of macadamia and stone fruit kick on towards the one minute mark. Take a bow Avondale. This is great stuff.

The full and smooth attack introduces an attractive mineral tension, while the mid-palate offers a dense and elegant texture on fresh butter, verbena, pear and lime flavours given additional complexity by well-integrated oak, leading into a long and lingering finish.

  Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2018

  £29.95 Buy A burst of lemon blossom and white spring flowers is followed by lemon pith and other citrus enticement. Scents of cashew, pistachio-embedded nougat with a persistent citrus line framed by white stone fruit. Again, a lovely linearity evident all balanced by mouth-watering acidity with a subtle, nutty edge. Whist this acidity is quite pronounced the French oak underpins everything beautifully. This displays very clever winemaking and brings together the three sources of fruit incredibly well.

  Attems Trebes 2017, D.O.C. Collio, Italy

  £22.00 £15.95 Buy This is one of those wines that has a bit of everything, but nothing in excess. It is the epitome of balance. It grabs your interest right from the moment it hits the glass; the colour is a rich golden yellow. The nose starts off with savoury notes then evolves towards jasmine, tea leaf, cedar, thyme and flowers. After some oxygen the fruit comes through in the form of buttery pear, apricot and fig. The palate has great weight and body, but it isn't overbearing, there's just the right amount of acidity to sharpen things up. After the fruit fades you'll find a touch of minerality and salinity on the finish. Take a bow the folks from Attems. This is great stuff!

  Attems Cicinis 2017, Collio, Italy

  £29.95 Buy Elegant straw yellow with green highlights, the nose is energetic with notes of thyme, nettles, and sage leaf followed by broom flowers and elderberry with light undertones of delicately spiced vanilla and ginger. On the palate the wine is expressive with fresh citrus and tomato leaf notes. The finish is persistent and dense, with a great balance of richness and zip. In our opinion, this is quite possibly the best Sauvignon Blanc Italy have ever produced.

  Attems Ribolla Gialla 2019, Venezia, Italy

  £19.95 Buy This bright straw-yellow wine has a delicate aroma of dandelion, hay and mimosa. The palate is fresh and flavourful with an aftertaste of lime and yellow melon. The variety expresses its great flavour in the firm, saline finish. Ribollo Gialla is a vastly underappreciated variety that packs loads of intensity in a creamy mouth feel with great freshness.

  Attems Pinot Grigio 2019, Friuli DOC, Italy

  £19.95 Buy The wine is a clear, straw yellow. The nose expresses great personality with fresh aromas of white peach, citrus peel and wildflowers as well as definite scents of thyme and toasted bread. In its structured body we find a wine with balance and complexity with a persistent finish of white pepper, avocado and walnut. Let's be clear, Italian Pinot Grigio can bring to the thought of mass produced generic insipid green fruit. Attems Pinot Grigio is on a different planet altogether. This is what Pinot Grigio can achieve when in the hands of a producer focusing on quality, not quantity.

  Baroness Nadine 2019, Western Cape South Africa (Three Bottle Case)

  £83.85 £65.00 Buy Quite possibly the finest vintage of Nadine ever produced. Fresh citrus notes, roasted hazelnut, macadamia, charred vanilla, creamy orchard fruit and honeydew melon - a beautifully enticing and complex nose. This is a wonderful wine with a core of ripe fruit all held together by a luxurious yet judicious streak of rich oak. Baroness Nadine is crafted in a different style compared to a few years back – the style is much more in keeping with fashion, and subsequently the use of new French oak has been toned down. Nadine 2019 has a racy edge balanced beautifully against the buttery creaminess.  Drink now or hold for five years.
