Domaine Amelie et Charles Sparr, Sentiment Riesling 2018
Husband and wife team, both raised in classic wine families, are now crafting wines that carry the deep traditions of Alsace whilst remaining exciting and forward-looking. The vineyards are a combination of both leased and owned however all are run with biodynamic practices and hold ‘eco-cert’ certification. Thanks to generational experience and support, Charles and Amelie carefully manage their vineyards to ensure each varietal and terroir are maximise their potential. "A rich, honeyed tropical melon, papaya nose, dusted with cinnamon, but some smoky, flinty notes and ripe spiced yellow plum compote. A rich, oily attack that swiftly lifts on the mid palate with plenty of candied lime, brisk tingly acidity and a lively, struck match and salty sherbet finish, which positively effervesces. I love the surprising shape of this Riesling as the nose and first impact past the lips is a wine of density and power but then it takes off like a whippet, showing length, leanness and pent up energy. This Riesling is hand-harvested and fermented with natural yeasts. Temperatures are monitored and kept very low to preserve the fruity aromas. This is a well-rounded Riesling, high in honeyed notes and balanced with clean minerality." Tom Harrow, Wine Guru Enjoy with Warm poached salmon, pickled cucumbers and dill sauce – lots and lots of lovely lemon squeezed on top!
Tabali Talinay Chardonnay 2023
Tabalí Talinay Chardonnay is a strikingly pure and mineral‑driven white wine sourced from one of Chile’s most distinctive coastal terroirs. Grown in the Talinay vineyard, just a few kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, the vines are rooted in ancient limestone soils rarely found in Chile. The combination of cool maritime breezes, morning fog and exceptional calcareous geology allows the grapes to ripen slowly, developing tension, precision and remarkable aromatic clarity. Vinified with great care and aged on lees, the wine captures the finesse, energy and saline character that define this unique site. Meet the Producer Viña Tabalí is a pioneering family estate in the Limarí Valley, celebrated for its commitment to expressing terroir with authenticity and precision. Their Talinay vineyards, planted on pure limestone close to the ocean, have earned international acclaim for producing some of Chile’s most elegant and distinctive cool‑climate wines. The winery’s philosophy centres on minimal intervention, sustainability and a deep respect for the land. Production Grapes are hand‑harvested in the cool early hours to preserve freshness, then sorted meticulously before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, with a portion of the wine aged in French oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel to balance texture and purity. Extended ageing on fine lees enhances complexity, mouthfeel and mineral definition, resulting in a Chardonnay of exceptional refinement and tension. Tasting Notes Pale gold in colour, the wine opens with lifted aromas of citrus blossom, lemon zest, white peach and subtle toasted notes. The palate is taut, vibrant and beautifully structured, offering layers of citrus, stone fruit and delicate creaminess supported by a pronounced mineral backbone. A distinctive saline edge runs through the wine, leading to a long, precise and refreshing finish. Food Match A superb partner for shellfish, seared scallops, grilled sea bass, sushi,
