Château Angludet 2021
Known for its consistent quality and classic Margaux character, Château Angludet is a well-respected estate that has produced wines with finesse and structure for over a century. When Benjamin Sichel took charge of wine-making operations at Château Angludet in 1989, he set himself the task of optimising the vines' natural balance. In Benjamin's view, the vines ought to be allowed to regulate themselves naturally, without any assistance. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was challenging, with a cooler growing season compared to the previous hot and dry years. Frost early in the season, followed by a cool, wet summer, required careful vineyard management. However, the cooler conditions resulted in wines with lower alcohol, higher acidity, and more restraint. In the hands of experienced producers like Château Angludet, the vintage showcases freshness, purity of fruit, and a more classical Bordeaux style, with emphasis on elegance rather than concentration.
Ramon Bilbao Edicion Limitada Tempranillo (Magnum) 2020
' Ramon Bilbao is a renowned Spanish winery based in Rioja, known for producing high-quality wines that blend tradition with innovation. Established in 1924, the winery specializes in crafting elegant, complex wines, with a focus on Tempranillo grapes. Their top-tier wine, Mirto, is made from old vines in select vineyards and is produced only in exceptional years, reflecting the excellence and craftsmanship that define the Ramon Bilbao legacy. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards located in various villages near Haro, with altitudes ranging between 450 and 700 meters. These vineyards have sandy soils with low fertility and limited water retention. After a meticulous selection of grapes, the wine was fermented in wooden vats at a controlled temperature of 27-28ºC, using natural yeasts. It was then aged for 15 months in new French oak barrels and spent an additional 10 months aging in underground cellars. The winter saw extremely cold weather in 2020, including heavy snowfall and significant rainfall during the ''Filomena'' storm in January. The summer, although warm and dry, experienced some rainfall prior to the harvest, resulting in diverse growing conditions. '
