Second Review: Oct 2016

Bacon fat and black wild berries, dusty cherries and strawberry compote, smoked meat and spices with a whiff of iodine. On the palate the fruit falls secondary to earthy tones, it has cigarbox, dark cocoa nibs and espresso. Textural tannins, bright acidity and a brooding character.

Cherry, spice, textural.
Awesome value.
A blend of Garnacha, Tempranillo & Carinena that was matured on barrel for 24 months before substantial bottle age.
Expect sweet ripe cherries and wild black raspberry, vanilla, saddle leather and spice with grapey undertones. Great intensity on the entry with fine spice, cocoa and tobacco. The fruit has fallen off on the palate, but it is still very fresh with fine, textural tannins across the finish.

Von Winning 'I' Sauvignon Blanc, Pflaz, Germany
Readers rated this wine:
Von Winning's wines are made for gastronomy, and specifically for the cuisine of their onsite Leopold Restaurant. The winery is located in Deidesheim in the Pflaz
100% Barrel fermented, this undeniably unique Sauvignon Blanc offers grilled lemons and dried salted limes, nettle and cumin. A mouthfilling and quite powerful palate suggests more grilled citrus, salty mineral flavours and oak, which has likely integrated more over time. There's some development here and notable phenolic texture on the finish.
Von Winning suggests pairing this wine with grilled fish.
