Wangolina A Series Aglianico 2024
G 92
Intense and impenetrable on the nose despite a relatively mild ruby-red colour, the wine offers plenty of black olive tapenade, prunes, black liquorice, cracked black pepper, and ground coffee beans. The palate is framed by ample, chunky tannins, with an incisive, savoury note of smoked meat accompanying the fruit profile, leading to a restrained finish. Drink now–2030 Wangolina The Originals Sauvignon Blanc 2025 G 92 There’s an overall sense of chilliness on the nose, despite the evident tropicality of the fruit. Guava, papaya, and green mango lead the way, followed by a hint of smoked butter and toasted almond. It’s on the palate where the aromatic burst becomes more evident, with a pop of passion fruit, a lick of vanilla pod, and a smidge of orange blossom, all brought together in a soft, textural cuddle. Drink now–2028 Wangolina Birds of a Feather Prosecco Glera 2025 G 91 Prosecco from the Limestone Coast? Why not! Delicate and fragrant, with aromas of Williams pear, camomile flowers, Granny Smith apple, and wet chalk. The palate is equally lively and appetising, balancing its residual sugar well and celebrating the fragrance of its bouquet. Honest and uncomplicated, it goes down a treat right now. So why wait? Drink now.
Wangolina A Series Montepulciano 2024
G 91
An intense colour, leaving my glass happily stained, just as I’d expect from a good Montepulciano. Right away, a pungent, earthy aroma of oregano leaps from the rim, followed by sour cherries, blue plums, and a scar of tar that seals the deal. The palate is, as you’d suspect, dense and broody, with rustic tannins and a mix of sweet and sour elements that alternate in a dance across every taste bud. Drink now–2030
