Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
The Primafiore is a little hidden gem in the Quintarelli range. It's a great intro to just how skilled the Quintarelli team is at making wines blended from native and French varietals. An approach we see in their Ca del Merlo and top of the wazza Alzero.The little brother to the Alzero, red floral notes, dusty spice, orange peel and ripe leafy cassis fruit. Very perfumed and intense now, with hints of lavender and ripe blueberry. The finish is long, with very fine, chalky tannins.And

Quintarelli masters blending local, non-local Italian & French varietals. Where most make clunky, awkward wines lacking harmony with this approach, Quintarelli achieves flow, complexity and deftly balances fruit flavours and florals with earthy, woody herb notes. (Read Patrick Suskinds "Perfume" and the importance of this will make sense). Over the last few releases we've seen a continual evolution with a little more freshness and tension across the range.The 2019s simply have more power
The 2018 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Cal del Merlo wafts up with an incredibly pretty, savory bouquet of dried Mediterranean herbs, geranium and citrus-tinged wild strawberries. It displays depths of ripe red and blue fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as rosy inner florals arch across the palate, all over a core of tantalizing acidity. The finish is floral and long, leaving a tart sensation of raspberry as hints of lavender fade slowly. This is a supremely elegant and refined vinta
Bordeaux Blend from Hawke's Bay, North Island
Only a handful for the Country! Perfumed Refined Goodness! A single vineyard wine until 1989, Coleraine is an blend of the finest wines produced from distinct plots within Te Mata Estate’s oldest Havelock Hills vineyards, first planted in 1892. Always a cabernet sauvignon dominant wine, often with merlot and cabernet franc, Coleraine is refined and classical, demonstrating the immense potential for Bordeaux blends in Hawke’s Bay. In fact, it looks mroe Bordelais than most Aussie Cabernet.
The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ca’ del Merlot is distinctly savory in the glass, with a thrust of wild herbs that evolves into fresh picked strawberries and wet stone. This is a model of purity and balance, with brilliant acidity that propels its crisp wild berry fruits as violet inner florals collect toward the close. Further elevated by a hint of confectionary spice, it tapers off remarkably fresh and vivid, with a blueberry tinge and dusty tannins that promise a lovely evolution. This
Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
Four years after release, Quintarelli's Ca del Merlo is sitting in a beautiful space. A wine that sits so comfortably in its own skin. Once again a demonstration from Quintarelli of their masterful skill in eliciting the best from an array of local and foreign varieties. Power with transparency and delicacy, complex sweet fruits and florals with earthiness, dry woody herbs, pops of spice. Super fine long tannins, that have relaxed, yet remain finely balanced with refreshing delicate acid. Mad Vi

Red Blend from S.Casciano Val de Pesa UGA, Chianti Classico
This is going to be a fascinating vintage to follow at Antinori. There are so many Super Tuscans made from Bordeaux varieties that do my head in. Somehow, they just don't get it right.Solaia is not one of them. Antinori kick out some exceptional vino under this label!They continue to push and build silky tannins and finesse into the mouthfeel, with a focus on energy and vibrancy over the last few years.Seems everyone else agrees with me on this one too!Antinori have added another
