LE PETIT SMITH HAUT LAFITTE Blanc Pessac-Léognan 2021

This is very aromatic, with blossom honey, sliced lemons and ripe green apples. Medium-bodied, it starts off slowly before building on the palate with a creamy texture and a fresh and driven finish. So much energy at the end. Impressive for the second wine. 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon. From organically grown grapes.

RUBICON Meerlust 2022

The 2022 Rubicon is aged for 18 months in 60% new oak. This has a pleasant nose, a mixture of red and black fruit, hints of cedar and dark chocolate coming through with time. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine tannins, well balanced with a bright and sapid finish. This is a well-made Rubicon that should age with style.
