Esteban Martín, Oak 12 2019
Esteban Martín Oak 12 is a smooth, fruit-forward red with a bit of extra depth from oak ageing. It shows ripe blackberry and plum alongside notes of vanilla, sweet spice and a touch of toast. The palate is rounded and medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a warm, easy finish. It’s a great match for grilled meats, barbecue, or slow-cooked dishes like beef stew. It also works well with hard cheeses, where the wine’s ripe fruit and gentle oak complement the savoury flavours nicely. 'Oak 12' refers to the wine being aged for around 12 months in oak barrels, which adds those subtle spice and vanilla notes while helping to soften and round out the structure.

Godessa Agiorgitiko is a soft, expressive Greek red wine from Cavino Winery, a family-owned estate founded in 1958 on the slopes of Aigialia in the Peloponnese.

Cavino's Godessa expression keeps things fresh and unoaked, letting the variety's natural charm shine through without the weight of barrel ageing.

The wine is aged for a minimum of six months in stainless steel with no oak influence, preserving freshness and varietal character. Tasting Notes The nose is expressive with ripe red fruits, hints of lavender, and a subtle touch of butter. On the palate, the wine is soft and silky with velvety tannins and fresh fruit flavours. The finish is balanced and lingering, highlighting the wine's delicate fruit character and refined texture.
