90 Pinot Bianco Penon 2010 Editors’ Choice* This is a gorgeous Italian white (made with Pinot Bianco grapes) that shows promising food pairing potential thanks to its silky, creamy mouthfeel and non-intrusive aromas. The wine offers a steady flow of stone fruit, melon and honey-like flavors.
89 Pinot Grigio Punggl 2010 This is a gorgeous Italian white (made with Pinot Bianco grapes) that shows promising food pairing potential thanks to its silky, creamy mouthfeel and non-intrusive aromas. The wine offers a steady flow of stone fruit, melon and honey-like flavors.
89 Pinot Bianco Sirmian 2010 This partially oak-aged expression of Pinot Bianco from cool-climate Alto Adige (in the far north of Italy) offers a lovely texture that is creamy and smooth at the same time. Measured aromas include melon, apricot, grapefruit and a touch of vanilla spice.
88 Pinot Grigio 2010 Here is a delightful Pinot Grigio (of which 30% sees contact with oak) with a rich, creamy mouthfeel and compelling aromas of yellow fruit and Golden Delicious apple. The wine is thick and slightly oily on the finish.
88 Sauvignon Mantele 2010 Mantele is a rich and smooth expression of Sauvignon that offers a surprisingly layered mouthfeel on top of the variety’s signature aromas of citrus, wild flower, tomato leaf and spice. Pair this lovely wine with aromatic foods such as basil coconut chicken curry. * Wines that offer excellent quality at a price above our Best Buy range, or a wine at any price with unique qualities that merit special attention.
