Autumn 2022 Mixed Six

A young, rising star in Piedmont, Colombo has been winning awards for his wines since he set up in 2011. The focus is on viticulture and low intervention winemaking which has created a very pure, clean and complex Barbera with a lovely hit of fruit.

A Chilean wine estate now owned and operated by Antinori (of Tignanello fame) Haras de Pirque are a good bridge between old and new world wines. The Galantas is a Cabernet Franc with a touch of Carmenere that has all the power and fruit one expects from a new world red yet has a softer, more classic rounded feel that brings it back down to earth.

A white that goes with a myriad of dishes as well as being quite comfortable on its own.

A classic, easy going Claret that has plenty of fruit but a nice solid core that makes it perfect for standing up to those heavier dishes.
