We have been further horrified to witness the emerging images…
DetailsDAOSA Piccadilly Valley Blanc de Blancs 2015 “Medium to full yellow colour, with a very nutty, nougat-like bouquet which incorporates fresh oak and nutty lees-derived characters. It’s full-bodied and powerful, dry, savoury and lasting, with some tannin grip which helps dry the palate and aftertaste. Oak makes a strong statement and the wine is full-bodied,…
DetailsDAOSA Piccadilly Valley Blanc de Blancs 2015 “Baked Quince, brioche, subtle spiced hints, of ginger and cinnamon. Latterly toasty, suggesting autolysis derived. Complex, is where I’m heading. Fine, pillowy entry, yet with an assertive line of acidity that adds length to leesy depth. A suggestion of baked apple and stonefruit add a touch of fruit presence.…

Detail, texture, weight yet freshness, inherent personality of the variety with savouriness, judicious maturity, concentration and quiet power all here. Superb example.” 94 points Reviewed by Mike Bennie…
DetailsTerre à Terre Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2018 “Pristine, racy, tightly wound Sauvignon Blanc but there’s more than meets the palate here. Lemony tang, touch of passionfruit, but a curl of distinct chalky minerality, faintest creamy-savouriness and a rod of steely acidity through it all. Lots going on. Complex yet understated. A charm.” 93…
DetailsTerre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 “Possibly the best Terre a Terra Cab yet. Oak is omnipresent, but the fruit is well up for it. A firm, richly textured, right bank-esque full tilt red with classic cedar varietal character, coffeed oak and thick-cut tannins. Large, powerful and very ripe ala St-Emilion, but has…
