De Martino Gallardia Old Vine White 2020 75cl
£15.41
The immediate impression is of lemon meringue pie straight from the oven, with the zesty freshness and pillowy lightness of meringue, richness of lemon curd custard and pie-crust toastiness This is just the first impression, however—the wine soon unfurls to complex notes of frankincense, seasoned pine wood and beeswax Reminiscent of a well-aged dry Riesling, it is in fact made from a field-blend of Moscatel and Chasselas, dry-farmed on very old gobelet vines planted in 1905, in the cool, southerly Itata region This appealing, complex white has rustic roots, which give rise to surprising sophistication
Gramona Celler Batlle Brut 2011 75cl
£85.12
This astonishing wine is aged on the lees for no less than 108 months prior to release It is intense and complex, with aromas of ripe peaches, golden apple and quince, alongside lemon zest, aromatic herbs, cherry blossom and pine forest The long lees-ageing has conferred amazingly complex layers of flavour: toasted sourdough bread, butter puff pastry, brioche, toasted hazelnuts, almonds, vanilla custard, coffee and praline The first sip reveals a powerful yet nuanced surge of flavour, and a fabulous balance between maturity and freshness Exquisitely fine, creamy bubbles caress the palate The lingering, complex finish insists that this is a fine wine to be savoured slowly Truly memorable - once tasted, never forgotten
