Frankland Estate's Alter Weg Riesling - Ben's Pick

This is a wine to RUN AND BUY, because there just won’t be enough to go around with me drinking it!

Truly the ‘Best in the West’ when it comes to Riesling! There is not a bad Riesling coming out of Frankland River but for a real treat you must try the new 2020 ‘Alter Weg’ Riesling from Frankland Estate. This wine having so many layers and complexities it is a wonder how they fit in the glass. The chief winemaker Brian Kent is an expert when it comes to all things Riesling, and for him 2020 was an exceptional vintage, unfortunate the yields were low however the result lead to an even higher quality wine. The moment the wine is in the glass it has an inviting aroma of white peach, apricot, white flowers, almond, honeyed-yogurt and a most comforting smell of rain hitting stone. It is incredibly bright and clean on the palate with a wonderful lingering complexity of stone fruit and a textural grip that just keeps you thinking and drinking. This is a wine to RUN AND BUY, because there just won’t be enough to go around with me drinking it!

Ar.pe.pe Rosso di Valtellina - Olivia's Pick

A delicate, light, fruity nebbiolo with subtle tannins - a wine that hits the mark in any situation, for me at least!

Ar.pe.pe's wine grows on the steep granite slopes of Montagna, Valtellina Superiore DOCG. Their 2018 Rosso di Valtellina is one of my go-to reds at the moment.

I get such a kick out of drinking this high altitude nebbiolo - for both the labour of love behind it and how drinkable it is. This nebbiolo hails from the Italian mountains, where the Perego family tend to their 13 hectares of terraced vineyards by hand, as they have done for the last 5 generations. Their deep respect for this unique terrior is sensually present through its floral, fruity bouquet and its' elegant palate. A delicate, light, fruity nebbiolo with subtle tannins - a wine that hits the mark in any situation, for me at least!

Born Rosé: Created in Barcelona from local vineyards, in an attempt to create a wine that reflected not only the local terroir, but also the Barcelona lifestyle - fun, fresh, filled with light. Using old vine Grenache blended with Tempranillo from vineyards dotted around Penedes, the wine is unique and the only style produced by the winery.
