Awesome (and award winning) wines produced in surprising regions seem to pop up constantly there (Hello Hawke’s Bay Syrah!).

Due to their spectacular success with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir people tend to forget that they make other wines too, and they make them really well.

I’m happy to see a big push for another style of wine out of NZ. I’ve been on an aromatic wine kick lately, and now I know what I’ll be drinking upon touch down in the UK later this week. Bring on the Saint Claire Grüner!

the standard I require, and I wish to return 11 bottles, in exchange for a peruvian
merlot of about the same value please.

I am afraid the boxes the wine came in have gone for re-cycling so will you please
send a box with the collecting driver?

]]> Comment on Fondillón – a noble stand for diversity? by kjellinWine http://blog.majestic.co.uk/2011/03/01/fondillon-a-noble-stand-for-diversity/#comment-7301 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:38:50 +0000 http://blog.majestic.co.uk/?p=5168#comment-7301 I have try out nearly all the Fondillóns when I was living nearly Alicante, On my mind for the moment of all this rear wine are Felipe Gutiérrez de la Vegas Fondillón 1978 and 1987 both are excellent, I was lucky to come over some bottles between 2002-8, anyway I have open one bottle every birthday since then. I have learn that the wine need to air for at least 5h otherwise Fondillón will not show you the real stuff under the surf, Its more complexed than you think. The devil are in the details :) so I use Zalto Burgundy glasses for a huge nose presentation and well balanced in mouth. The wine is like Dr Loosen in one way, micro sublime aromas so its need attention, on the top you have plums, cherry, figs, dark fruits and orange dry peels and underneath you come to a big room with vibrant green tea, rosewater and exotic spices. Long aftertaste and very complex, raisins and some dark chocolate. I prefer this wine over a 80 years old Port.
