Wotton Pinot Rosé Sparkling 2021
G 92
Light onion-skin blush. A complex autolytic nose, showcase of pistachio, brioche and a splash of rose water. The Pinot provides serious structure and drive, white strawberry and by way of the lees a whipped berry yoghurt flavour. An appealing pithy sherbet finish makes for a sparkling of depth and intrigue. A favourable dinner party guest. Traditional method. Drink now–2030 Anvers Syrah 2022 G 91 Medium-deep ruby. Bright vibrant style, raspberry coulis, blackcurrant pastille, choc bullets, sarsaparilla spice with a touch of gravel and star anise warmth. Clean and pure in style with coiled acidity and slightly raw tannins. Appealing sweet–sour combination of fruit charged by chai black tea spice. A tightened close, finishing grippy and fresh. A new generation of Syrah. Drink now–2026 Art Wine Bianca Prosecco Sparkling NV G 91 Clear lemon. Fresh lemon, tinned pear in juice and honeysuckle. Acidity leaping out the glass, fresh in flavour and everything you’d want in a Prosecco. Garbed in an appealing foamy mousse, the palate sees a dollop of honey in its centre and ocean spray freshness tapering with the finish. A jovial wine. Drink now–2026 Barristers Block Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc 2024 G 91 Familiar herbal and tropical aromatics, pithy lemon/lime acidity in the mouth, quite overt, almost over-anxious, with all the zest and flavour in the right place, mid palate and onwards, nice and easy. 12.5% alc Drink now–2026 Cape Barren Native Goose Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc 2023 G 91 Nicely roasted tropical fruit notes, some depth in the nose, creamy passionfruit-like yoghurt suggestions, some tang in the palate without acid creep, with a tapering finish. Nicely weighted and shaped. Drink now–2027 Charlotte Dalton Wines Aerkeengel Semillon Semillon 2020 G 91 Buckle in here, as this angel is no shrinking violet. Barrel aged on full lees for close to 2 years, its aromas suggest cut hay and brewing apple cider, with a palate that is tangy yet rich – rich, minerally and creamy, custard tart vibes in part, spiced apples for fruit feels. Style conscious. 11.9% alc Drink now–2028
