Avondale Anima 2017, Paarl, South Africa
£25.00 – £135.00 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 boasts a beautifully enticing and complex nose of buttered pear, beeswax, honey, 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. -

Scents of cashew, pistachio-embedded nougat with a persistent citrus line framed by white stone fruit.

Attems Trebes Ribolla Gialla 2019, D.O.C. Collio, Italy
£23.95 – £129.30 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! -

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. -

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 2020, D.O.C. Friuli, Italy
£19.95 – £107.70 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. -
