SKWFRI01
£38.95
With high quality, 30 year old Pinot Noir, situated on the windy slopes, 300ft above the valley floor, it would be a surprise if Daniel Fries wasn’t producing something fizzy
Very good grapes, whole bunch, wild yeast fermentation in old wooden barrels; 10 months on the lees in those same barrels; a further 48 months in bottle on the lees before disgorgement; zero dosage. Super good wine with a beautifully precise shape, serious depth of flavour and considerable length. Very little to do with the ‘common’ view of Deutscher Sekt over the past 20 years or so … this is really serious sparkling wine.
£30.95
Ripe, warm and generous on the nose with abundant plum and cherry aromas, roasted coffee beans and hints of dried fruits. Full bodied and richly flavoured with berry and plum fruit, wild cherry acidity and a hint of dark chocolate. Supple tannins lead to a spicy finish, with the characteristic dry bite of good Amarone.
£35.00
The wine has lots of warm black fruit and plum aromas, with cinnamon, spices, pepper and a hint of vanilla. The palate is concentrated with damsons, red fruit, spice and stony minerality with a very elegant and warm finish. The mouth is initially very silky but gives way to some mouth watering acidity and firm tannins.
£38.80
A toasty marmalade, pineapple, lime and honey nougat character on the nose gives way to a fresh acidity on the mid pallet ending, in a long lingering finish, with tropical fruits and charry vanilla.
£32.75
A beautiful ruby colour. A clean nose with good intensity. Complex aromas of leather, ripe sweet fruit and herbs over a base of fine oak. Palate: Potent and juicy with structure and good tenacity. The finish shows lots of spice and is ample, complex, long and persistent.
