As usual, there\u2019s the ones that I have to scratch my head a bit &#8211; it is either a label I\u2019ve never heard of, a blend that\u2019s something new, a region, or just a weird name! hahaha.<\/p><p>I start by dipping my toes into the popular style that is ros\u00e9 &#8211; <b>Leconfield La Sevillana Ros\u00e9 2021<\/b>. A ros\u00e9 made from Merlot grown in one of Australia\u2019s great wine regions &#8211; Coonawarra. A gorgeously pale watermelon pink in the glass. Delicately perfumed with melon, pink apple, redcurrant, strawberry, and a note of crushed rose petals. Dry and crisp with mouthwatering acidity blowing through the palate dripping with crunchy summer berries. There\u2019s a supple textural finish, with some creamy vanilla yoghurt flavours to round out that initial brightness, and have you reaching for another glass. Elegant presentation, with a tall, designer bottle to brighten any summer lunch table. <b>90pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d4e213b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d4e213b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df1eb3f\" data-id=\"df1eb3f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-254d7b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"254d7b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Puglia-Rosso-2021-1024x692.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7129\" alt=\"Pillastro Puglia Rosso 2021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Puglia-Rosso-2021-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Puglia-Rosso-2021-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Puglia-Rosso-2021-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Puglia-Rosso-2021-1536x1039.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Puglia-Rosso-2021.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ad6e3d4\" data-id=\"ad6e3d4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b588275 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b588275\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Susmaniello-2020-1024x669.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7130\" alt=\"Pillastro Susmaniello 2020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Susmaniello-2020-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Susmaniello-2020-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Susmaniello-2020-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Susmaniello-2020-1536x1004.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pillastro-Susmaniello-2020.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-73758d9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73758d9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23b802d\" data-id=\"23b802d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd74cd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd74cd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Then we have a couple of big reds from a label in Italy &#8211; <b>Pillastro Puglia Rosso 2021<\/b>. A classic example of a big, chunky red from southern Italy. I\u2019m not sure what the blend is, but it feels warm, ripe and fleshy. Spiced plum, blueberry and raspberry. A richness to the structure with soft velvety tannins and a smooth texture, make it not only an easy-going red, but with enough interest to step beyond your basic, fruit-forward quaffer. The finish has a little pepper and good length. <b>89pts<\/b><\/p><p>Following smartly on its heels is another &#8211; <b>Pillastro Susmaniello 2020<\/b>. Now, I have tried this wine before, and this re-visit does confirm what I\u2019d liked about it first time around. It comes in a substantial bottle that echoes the stature of the wine within. A smoky, oaky perfume that is loaded with flavour and spice. Dense, up-front and robust. Cherry, black plum and rosehip with a touch of good bitterness that serves to offset the ripe intensity. Look for a decent, lengthy finish with sweet and sour nuances coming back in. <b>91pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-41f6c98 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"41f6c98\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8a5c257\" data-id=\"8a5c257\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-946d17a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"946d17a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marauding-Cpt-Cbernet-2020-langhorne-1024x677.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7127\" alt=\"Marauding Cpt Cbernet 2020 langhorne\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marauding-Cpt-Cbernet-2020-langhorne-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marauding-Cpt-Cbernet-2020-langhorne-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marauding-Cpt-Cbernet-2020-langhorne-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marauding-Cpt-Cbernet-2020-langhorne-1536x1016.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marauding-Cpt-Cbernet-2020-langhorne.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9ed5c9c\" data-id=\"9ed5c9c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-542fcd5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"542fcd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Martinez-Bujanda-Crianza-18-1024x647.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7128\" alt=\"Martinez Bujanda Crianza 18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Martinez-Bujanda-Crianza-18-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Martinez-Bujanda-Crianza-18-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Martinez-Bujanda-Crianza-18-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Martinez-Bujanda-Crianza-18-1536x971.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Martinez-Bujanda-Crianza-18.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bd90f25 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bd90f25\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8b24b73\" data-id=\"8b24b73\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2096ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2096ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Back to the Aussie wines with the creative names &#8211; with <b>Marauding Vintners Captain Cabernet Sauvignon 2020<\/b>. This is from Langhorne Creek, which is a region of South Australia that I have heard of &#8211; south east of Adelaide. A dense dark claret colour in the glass, with a perfume that speaks of plum, cassis, cedar, leather, graphite and sour cherry. Full bodied and with plenty of oak influence &#8211; vanilla, smoky cigar box and pencil shavings. A bold wine, but with fairly relaxed tannins and a sweeter liquorice-scented mid-palate. A green herbal note comes in at the finish. Good stuff, easy to like. <b>91pts<\/b><\/p><p>The final wine took me back to Europe &#8211; <b>Martinez Bujanda Rioja Crianza 2016<\/b> from Spain. Rioja is often not my thing &#8211; too much dusty oak and raspy tannin, but this one is the Crianza style, which pulls back on the process that leads to the expressions I\u2019m not partial to. Still made from Tempranillo (which I do like) &#8211; aged for two years, with one year in barrel &#8211; leading to a wine with more freshness and zip. Spicy, with cloves and cinnamon on the nose, and with a deep, ripe \u2018redness\u2019 to the palate. Not just fruit, but plenty of savoury character &#8211; tomato, capsicum and pumpkin. A bright acid line and enough grip of tannin to give interest &#8211; a well-rounded and ready-to-go wine with a great lingering finish. <b>92pts<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting off 2023 with a selection of new stuff to try from Laithwaites.
