Fermented with 25% whole clusters and aged in new barrels, the 2020 Pinot Noir Knox Alexander is similarly light ruby-hued and has a spicy, complex nose of ripe red fruit, spicy herbs, leather, and savory flowers. This carries to a medium-bodied Pinot Noir that's beautifully balanced, has an elegant, seamless mouthfeel, perfectly resolved tannins, and a great finish. I love its overall purity, balance, and length, and I would expect it to evolve gracefully over the coming 10-15 years. It might be the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted.Inc. VAT£388.40 -

The austere and tight 2021 Selección de Parcelas Los Primos Chardonnay feels very young. It was harvested the second week of April, keeping very good freshness and acidity, with 13% alcohol, and there was part of the wine that he did not add any sulfur. He used 35% new 400-liter barrels, and the used ones are still 228-liter ones that eventually will be replaced with the used 400-liter ones in future years. There is great purity and symmetry; the oak is neatly integrated; and there's nuance, detail and a superb juiciness in the palate and citrus acidity that makes you salivate. The palate is dry and mineral, serious, less Meursault and more Chablis... It's persistent and long and has all the ingredients and balance between them to develop nicely in bottle. There was some frost, and only 3,480 bottles were produced. It was bottled in August 2022.Inc. VAT£637.09 -
