2022	Di Giovanna	Nerello Mascalese 'Vurria'	The 2022 Nerello Mascalese di Giovanna Vurria is wildly fresh and pure in style, offering blackberry and sage complemented by a tinge of exotic spice. Juicy and round, it washes across the palate with mineral-inflected red and blue fruits riding a wave of juicy acidity. The finish brings a cascade of violet inner florals and a twang of sour citrus.

2023	Cape Mentelle	Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc 'Marri'	Bombastic, and hard not to compare to the famed Marlborough SB style, there’s some flinty, oniony reduction, punchy stone and citrus fruit, jalapeño and bell pepper notes to start. A lovely waxy texture to the palate is more distinguishing. It’s cut through with crisp acidity and peachy fruit concentration to the finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-06-30
2023	Cape Mentelle	Cabernet Sauvignon 'Marri'	Aromas of raspberry and black currants sprinkled with dried mint, coca powder and underscored by black olives and graphite float from the glass of this Cab, from one of the region’s long-standing producers. There’s a lightness here that’s welcome amidst the sturdy tannins, which take over the mouth. The fruit squeaks through the cracks but falls off quickly. Best Buy.

2023	Cape Mentelle	Chardonnay 'Marri'	Bright citrus, green-tea and lemongrass notes are rounded and tempered by richer ones like nougat and cashew.
