Luca Hodgkinson Sabatico Garnacha 2018
Color is an intense deep ruby. The first impression on the nose is of complexity, a wide variety of aromas express themselves. Usually the first nose we get is of tobacco leaves, potpourri and then prune jam, chocolate mint (after eight!) and more It evolves with opening time. ON the palate it shows round body with a concentrated middle mouth that adds weight and allows the wine to last. Tannins are concentrated and thick, but the roundness softens these edges and gives overall a good balance.
Rust En Vrede Estate Vineyards Syrah 2020
Dark, rich fruit and intense floral perfume jump out of the glass. Complex aromas of violets and white blossoms combine with concentrated blueberry, vanilla and dark chocolate. The wine has a bold, full palate as rich as the nose promises - intense blackberry and blueberry layered with dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and toast. Partial whole-bunch fermentation adds a savoury spiciness, and lively acidity balances the robust tannins, giving power and structure of the wine. Bold blueberry and toast flavours on the finish promise a good aging potential in this wine. Established in 1694, Rust en Vrede is proud to be part of a remarkable three hundred year old wine tradition.
