One of a fascinating pair of Alvarinho wines from Vinho Verde This is from vines grown exclusively on vineyards over schist (xisto) bedrock While true to Vinho Verde's overall fresh style, this is relatively rich-textured, complex and nuanced It has succulent flavours of ripe peach and apricot, with the tang of sherbet lemon Schist is a metamorphic rock that fractures easily, allowing the vine roots to penetrate deep into the ground, ensuring a steady supply of water Its dark colour means it absorbs the sun's heat and re-radiates it at night, giving a 'double-ripening' effect

Hugely complex, this wine has concentrated aromas and flavours, married to wonderful freshness It is lively and juicy - like biting into a just-ripe cherry that bursts in your mouth - and yet is far from straighforward, with intriguing nuances of spices, Mediterranean herbs, olives and well-integrated oak This is irresistible now - and even better if you decant it first - but if you can, keep some bottles back for 257or even 10 years, as it has both the guts and the balance to gain even more complexity with time

With appealing herby-peppery aromas and only the most subtle seasoning of oak, this is silky-soft with lovely perfume, nuances of basil and clove, and an irresistibly vibrant, juicy cherry and blackberry fruit character This has a surprising level of complexity, with an iron-like 'mineral' character behind the fruit, spice and herb elements Perfect companions, Tempranillo provides aromatic lift and a textural element to the soft richness of the Shiraz There is no new oak here, to allow the fruit to really sing
