The Real Review
95 Points - Bob Campbell
Deeply scented pinot noir with intense cassis, dark cherry/berry, vanilla and classy French oak flavours. Bright, youthful wine with power and energy. Accessible now but with good cellaring potential.

Aromas of apple tart with brioche as well as toffee and butter cookie. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy texture and a creme caramel finish. Rich yet featherlight at the same time. Drink or hold.

About the Winery
Ca' del Monte

Ca del Monte is situated on the hillsides overlooking the village of Negrar, in the heart of Valpolicella. It has belonged to the same family for generations, and is now run by brothers Umberto and Giuseppe Zaconte. There’s nothing fancy about this place. The house and winery are modest - and are attached to a 17th century monastery.
The estate is approximately 50 acres, and its 15-65 year old vines lie on gentle slopes at 800-900 meters. They grow on four soils including clay, limestone, red volcanic soil with red stones, and “Toar,” a green volcanic soil. The vineyards of Ca Del Monte are planted with 20-40 year old vines of Corvina, Rodinella and Molinara grapes that are planted in poor soils that stress the vines and nurture the fruit. All of the farming is done traditionally and non-certified organic.

About the Winery
Bodegas Puiggròs

Since 1843, the Puiggros family has been producing wines from their own vines in the Odena region of Catalunya for the family and close friends. Over generations they had come to realize that their vineyards and techniques were something worth sharing with the world. A sincere dedication to the terroir in their zone and the indigenous varieties that grow there, allows them to constantly discover ways to unlock all of the magic that lies within their land.
Starting with conscious and clean farming in the vineyard, they hand-harvest only the best fruit for their production, and ferment each vineyard separately in varying vessels to accentuate what the vines have to show; some in stainless steel, and many in clay amphora of differing sizes. All the while seeing very little sulfur use (if any) until bottling. Puiggros is pushing the quality of northeastern Spain's wines forward, and doing so in a clean and unique way.

100% Chardonnay. After a Platinum win for Elgin Chardonnay last year, we all suspected it was only a matter of time before this propitious combination of variety and region would make its way into our Top Fifty. So it proved this year, as this high-sited (200m-450m), mountain-fringed zone in the Cape's deep, ocean-cooled south brought us one of the most memorable of this year's Chardonnay cohort. It's pale dawn-yellow in colour, with taut yet close-knit aromas that suggest plant sap, peeled vegetable and spring leaf as much as green fruits. The 11 months' oak provide an aromatic backdrop without obscuring vineyard character. On the palate, the wine is lean, shapely, intense: a cool waterfall of Chardonnay fruits which sweep seamlessly over the tongue, leaving it looking for more. Drinkability, refreshment and a unique regional style come together memorably here. Best in Show.

Complexity and lots of stamina and verve here! Smoky lemons, nougat, ginger and flint provide a very flavourful palate. Intense and substantial on the palate, but still elegant and nuanced, with a hint of phenolics at the end. Long, focused finish. Think fine Meursault. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Selección de Parcelas Los Primos Chardonnay was cropped from a warm and dry vintage, but in Traiguén in the south, it is not as warm as in the central valley of Chile. The grapes were harvested the first half of April; they harvested earlier and finished with more alcohol, still a moderate 13.5%, from a year of more body and rounder wines but without heat. The wine kept a pH of 3.16 and 6.9 grams of acidity. This also makes the wine a little more Burgundian, more Meursault than Chablis or Puligny, tasty, spicy with a tad more oak (all the new barrels for white are 400-liter ones, 38% of them new in 2020), because in warmer years there is a little more extraction from the oak. This is the warmest vintage so far, but the wine is still bone dry and there is no ripeness; but there's more weight and width. The wines have to show the differences of the climate conditions each year... 4,069 bottles were filled in July 2021.

Viñátigo

Juan Jesús is a proud native of Tenerife and the fourth generation of growers. During the thirty years that he's overseen Bodegas Viñátigo, he has considerably increased its holdings, planting varieties that he and his team recuperated from near extinction.
Driven by passion and love for his homeland, Juan decided to revive and work to save the native grape varieties that were brought to the Canary Islands by the conquers back in the 15th century and that had survived on the islands for centuries. He is a hero of contemporary Canarian viticulture. The wealth of knowledge that his work has created has helped underpin the significant expansion of wine styles that are now available throughout the archipelago, and his wines have achieved a calibre of class that many doubted the Canaries would ever produce again.

The 2022 Camino de La Peña is one of the new single-vineyard certified wines from the DOP Islas Canarias, Tenerife appellation. It was produced with Listán Blanco grapes from a plot of vines in Altos de Icod in the Icod Valley in the northeast of Tenerife and pruned in the traditional parral, or pergola, way on terraces on young volcanic (basalt) soils with sand and minerals. The juice from the pressing with part of the stems was let to settle and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, where the wine matured with static lees (not stirred) for nine months. Despite the moderate 12.7% alcohol, this has a riper nose than the other whites, with notes of yellow fruit, plums and peach, and a gentle and polished palate with soft acidity and a bitter twist in the finish. 2,835 bottles were filled in August 2023.
Viñátigo, the project from Juan Jesús Méndez, was one of the pioneers of the local varieties in the Canary Islands, where he's been recovering forgotten varieties since 1990. He's now joined by his son Jorge, who is giving a more modern profile to the wines. In 2017, there was a new range of single-vineyard and lieu-dit wines that go one step beyond in 2022, with three new whites from the north of Tenerife. They are all produced with Listán Blanco from different zones and altitudes, climates and soils. They have 12 hectares of vines in the north and northeast of Tenerife, and their production averages 150,000 bottles per year.

The 2022 Lomo de la Era, another of the new single-vineyard certified wines from the DOP Islas Canarias, Tenerife appellation, was produced with Listán Blanco grapes, in this case from a cordón trenzado plot of vines in the western part of the Orotava Valley on sandy, silty and basalt soils. The juice from the pressing with part of the stems was let to settle and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete, where the wine matured with static lees (not stirred) for nine months. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (12%) with a mixture of floral, fruit and soil notes and an austere palate with dusty minerality, vibrant and pungent flavors and a clean finish. 2,320 bottles were filled in July 2023.

The 2018 Vintage Port is a field blend, which is mostly represented as Touriga Franca (30%), Touriga Nacional (20%) and Tinta Roriz (15%), with dollops of others for the rest. It is unoaked and comes in with 86 grams of residual sugar. This is sourced from Quinta Vale d’Agodinho in the Ferradosa Valley, planted in 1983. Dry, stern and very serious, this projects a lot of power, with the fruit well in second place just now. Tight and needing to unravel, this is built to age, which is generally a good thing for Port. This is going to be one that will require a little extra patience, even if it is true that people are diving into Vintage Ports younger than ever these days. It should age and develop well. In fact, three days later, it showed off its good fruit more, while still finishing with firmness. As noted, it's a very dry and serious style, so don't expect a fruit bomb. If that style is your style, this is superb, with plenty of room to improve in the cellar. Its purity is a plus.

A touch smoky, flinty, this is tight and tense on the palate, dry and savoury. It's really quite focused, never overly fat, with a long, straight finish. Should age with interest. Domaine Chante Cigale continues to rise up the rankings of white Châteauneuf producers – consistently excellent. Perfect balance. Fermented then aged for 10 months in demi-muids. Just 850 bottles made.

A serious pinot from Francisco Baettig that shows tension and firmness. Rose petals, stemmy herbs, tea leaves and orange rind. Really juicy and bright with chalky tannins. Firm, structured and pretty full-bodied but nothing heavy. Mouthwatering and long. 3,000 bottles made. 20% whole clusters. 14 months aged in 300-liter oak barrels, of which 41% is new oak. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Viñedo Los Primos originates from Traiguén in the Araucanía region. Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, it presents aromas of cherry, sour cherry, black tea and orange peel, with subtle undertones of damp earth and lavender layered with cedar and cinnamon. Dry, slightly chalky and taut on the palate, the wine offers a vibrant and lightly structured mouthfeel, culminating in an intense and enduring finish. This is a serious Pinot Noir crafted with the precision and deep understanding of both stylistic nuances and terroir expression.

Pure mineral notes but a lot of depth here, with flinty oyster shells, crushed rock, lemon zest and a hint of cream. Broad but pure on the palate, driven by a bright streak of saline acidity. Really gastronomic and serious, with a full body but mineral water-like purity at the end. Another sensational Los Primos. According to winemaker Francisco Baettig, 2022 is moderately cool in Traiguén. A small production due to the frost. Picked around April 10. Thirteen months’ aging in 300- to 400-liter barrels, of which 37% is new.

The 2022 Chardonnay Viñedo Los Primos originates from Traiguén in the Araucanía region. Aged for 13 months in French oak barrels (37% new), it displays a green colour with a yellowish sheen. Aromas of creamed corn and cedar emerge on the nose, accompanied by hazelnut, oak and ginger nuances. Dry, rich and fairly rich on the palate it develops a fatty and oily mouthfeel that adds depth and volume without heaviness. The 13.5% alcohol content contributes to an overwhelming mouthfeel but its balanced by taut acidity , resulting in a long-lasting flow. Compared to other vintages, the 2022 offers a more finely tuned balance.

Superb depth and freshness, with black olives, mussel shells, tea leaves and a touch of cocoa powder. Full-bodied but really fresh and powerful, with tons of grape-skin tannins that remind me of Barolo--austere, almost a bit rustic, but so fresh. Extremely long and firm. Unique freshness and structure. Cabernet sauvignon grafted onto 100-year-old pais 60 years ago. Granitic soils. Dry-farmed. It spent 15 months aging in French oak barrels. Very low ph of 3.38. Drink from 2025.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Los Padrinos originates from an old País vineyard in Coronel de Maule that was grafted with Cabernet 60 years ago. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, this black-fruited wine reveals balsamic aromas layered over notes of menthol and cassis. Dry, taut and compact, it presents a contrast between richness and tension, showcasing concentrated flavors and a fine-grained tannin texture. This is one worth keeping an eye on.

This a very agreeable, well balanced Valpolicella with classic, fresh aromas of sour cherry, rosemary, tomato leaf and spice. Also a hint of pepper. It is medium bodied, smooth and well balanced without relying too much on ripasso's baby fat to carry the day. Tannins are quite mild, some minor heat on the finish. The length is excellent. Very easy drinking but don't overlook its detail. Tasted Sept 2021
