Terlaner I Grande Cuvée 2023

99 points

Such a great wine. Classy on the nose of graphite, peach pits, candied citrus, apricots and a hint of lemon leaves. Medium- to full-bodied, refined and focused, with a silky texture and long, refreshing acidity. Full flavors of toast, stones and fruit. Super intense, savory, structured and tightly knit. Still a bit oaky yet balanced.

Rarity Pinot Bianco 2013

97 points

An intense and complex wine with aromas of gooseberries and grapefruits, peaches and balsamic with an apricot core. Medium-bodied, silky, crisp, savory, with tight-knit structure between the fruit and the acidity, tingling and vibrant. Lots of energy in the finish and a savory aftertaste of cedar wood. Classy and focused.

Nova Domus Terlaner Cuvée Riserva 2023

95 points

Restrained style with chamomile flowers, stone fruits, almost sour white peaches, fern, leafy notes, lemon bush, mirabelle and white pepper. Medium-bodied with yellow grapefruit flavors, zesty and puckering acidity, texture and vibrancy. Savory and long. A blend of 70% pinot bianco, 25% chardonnay and 5% sauvignon blanc.

Quarz Sauvignon Blanc 2024

95 points

A restrained sauvignon blanc with aromas of stones, minerals, citrus, lemons, cedar and asparagus. A vibrant palate with great integration of zesty acidity. Textured and medium-bodied with a savory finish of yellow peaches

Porphyr Lagrein Riserva 2023

95 points

Dark fruit, mushrooms, bark and meat come through clearly on the nose and follow through on the palate to a full body with juicy fruit and a long and soft-textured finish with chocolate undertones. I like the tangy and bright nature of this juicy and fruity wine.

Vorberg Pinot Bianco Riserva 2023

96 points

A restrained wine with assertive aromas of lemons, lemon leaves, fresh flowers and minerals. Medium- to full-bodied with density, weight, a silky texture and tingling acidity. A leafy finish with stone fruit vibrancy.
