Sauvignon blanc Craggy Range Marlbourgh 2020 @waitroseandpartners Score 87 New Zealand's oldest working vineyard dates back to 1851 when French Catholic missionaries planted vines in hawkes bay. The first vines were planted in 1819. Brancott Estate started planting Sauvignon blanc in 1973, the country never looked back. All my life NZ has been known mainly for producing Sauvignon blanc but it wasn't until 2002 that it became NZ primary planted grape. It was Chardonnay until then, Martinborough in the North island makes world class Chardonnay to this day and Central Otago do the same with Pinot Noir but Sav is the big show in town. Two thirds of NZ wines are white and 58% of the country's wine is made Marlborough where Sav is king. Craggy Range does a beautiful crisp, clean and bright Sauvignon blanc. The perfect expression of what NZ Sav is all about. Beautiful Gooseberry, Citrus fruit, fresh cut grass and a little jalapeño spice. The structure of the wine is classic Sav, mouth watering acidity, light bodied and very refreshing. I really enjoyed this with some Lamb Tacos.

Sangiovese Montemajone Chianti Classico 2018 @waitrose Score 84 Young Sangiovese has that beautiful pale ruby colour. A lot of red fruits and roast tomatoes straight away on the nose. Then the tertiary aromas of tabaco and espresso start come through with an Oregano flavour. You have a sip and the wine heats up on your tongue some sweet balsamic and as you breath out that classic Chianti roast tomato smell again. I get the feeling this could be an interesting wines in a few years stored away. Its not going to keep 10-20 years like Gran Seleziones but an interesting proposition for someone starting out to taste the development over a few years. The acidity is starting to mellow a little from the roaring levels found in very young Chianti Classico. It is this acidity in this wine which makes it perfect for that rich tuscan cuisine of game, slow cooked meats and beautiful ragu.

Dolcetto Monferrato 2019 Cantine Povero Score 86 @thegoodspiritscowinebeer The little sweet one, as it is known in Italian. Funny name as this bad boys dry. Noir berry skin this is a lovely every day wine to enjoy at a fair price, I would say it is a good quality wine. It is not a Barolo or Barberesco its pals from the Piedmont and is used to generate some early income for the vineyard as the two mentioned Nebbiolo regions do their magic and mature in wooden vats or the modernist barrique barrels. The Cantine Povero is a ballsy wee wine with really good acidity, It is on the lighter side and I think it makes a good alternative to a good burgundy Pinot Noir whilst saving a few pounds. The wines definitely one to enjoy in its youth.
