OSWGV14
£17.46
A wine created from a carefully selected blend of two of Johann's vineyards, Donau and Point. Previously known as his ‘Spitzer Point’ Gruner Veltliner this was renamed as Peunt with the 2017 vintage based on an old (1388) spelling of the vineyards.
Plenty of sweet, golden plum fruit over a floral, honeyed base, with hints of mango and meadow herbs rounding everyint off.
Weingut Johann Donabaum£37.30
Modest and passionate about his vineyards, Abel and his wife Maite have been making understated wines in San Vicente since 1988.
Lying in the shadow of the Sierra Cantabria, Abel has vineyards in the finest parts of the Alavesa. His knowledge and understanding of the soils is enthralling and to taste in his cellar can be an education on the effects different soils have in different years. He wants only to express the fruit and the soil and unlike many Riojans, he leaves it more or less at that. He does not want to stamp the wines with any particular style or mark of his own other than his respect for the very natural quality of the grapes and for the magical places that they were grown.
Straw yellow. Intense aromas, floral, very perfumed, with good fruit expression in the foreground, and well integrated wood notes of balsamic and dried grass. In the mouth it has superb acidity with a bright, smooth, silky and pleasant finish.
£16.75
Straw yellow in colour, the nose shows aromatic white flowers mixed with citrus notes as well as pear and pineapple. Dry on the palate this is fresh and mineral like.
