2022/23 Loidana Blanc, Marco Abella, DOQ Priorat

White Blend

The Loidana Blanc is a new addition to the fabulous range of Priorat wines from the Marco Abella in Priorat.  This stunning blend of Garnacha Blanca, Picapoll, Viognier and Macabeo is fermented in oak and then lees aged in stainless steel.  This complex white wine shows impeccable balance with exotic fruit notes such as Quince and stone fruits alongside fresher, more mineral characteristics and beautifully poised acidity.  It's not surprising that this wine is so delicious as Marco Abella place a great emphasis on quality, hand-picked fruit frmo their perfectly sited, biodynamic vineyards in and around the famous village of Porrera.

2022/23 Riesling Ried Anzenthal, Waldschutz, Wagram

Riesling

Wow, the Ried Anzenthal is a fabulous example of single vineyard Austrian Riesling.  The complex nose is clean and fresh with peach and exotic fruits mingled with hints of honey and blossom.  The palate is complex too with concentrated lime zest and more peach fruit along with distinct minerality.  The finish rich and long yet surprisingly zesty and fresh.  Drinking beautifully now, this tremendous wine has a long life ahead of it and will reward cellaring for at least a decade or maybe even two!

Viura

The Rioja Blanco Fermentado en Barrica from the amazing Bodegas Martinez Lacuesta is a pale greenish yellow colour with a touch of toasted oak over mellow fresh fruit on the nose. In the mouth, it is initially fresh, with the well integrated oak building in prominence in the mid-palate. The floral fruit character carries through to the well-balanced finish.

White Rabbit Dry White Port, Niepoort

Douro Blend

Made from wines which are between 3 and 5 years old, the Niepoortland White Rabbit isn't bone dry and therefore very versatile as an aperitif on it's own or mixed with tonic for a longer drink.  White Golden brown in colour with a delightful aroma of nuts and almonds which follows through on the palate with a fresh concentrated spirity finish.
