2017 Destinos Cruzados As Regadas

Fresh red cherry fruit, quite flowery and a hint of earthiness too. This is wonderful wine to sip on its own, served slightly cool. Somewhere between a Bourgogne villages with a hint of young modern Rioja!?

2020 Kumeu River Sauvignon Blanc Rays Road

This continues to improve with some age. I recognise many of Callum's notes below, but with the right food (grilled sea bass with asparagus tonight) this does work very well for me, even though (or perhaps because?) it remains atypical for NZ sauv blanc. I won't be rushing my remaining bottles and am curious to see how it develops from here.

2019 Domaine La Soufrandise Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes

Creamy lemon, some minerality, all overlaid with integrated oak, this is very good value for burgundy
