Gaia (Gaia's Estate)

Thalassitis Santorini Assyrtiko 2017

The aromatics were typical of a Mediterranean white with flowers and minerality more so than fruit driven. Initially a creaminess to the palate which finishes quite mineral/salty. The saltiness dominates somewhat at the end which finishes bone dry. Following day a great match with fresh Pacific Oysters. — 4 years ago

Salty, baked lemon, plenty of malic notes. Volcanic soil and concentration give this plenty of energy in the glass. — 5 years ago

Táganan Vinos Atlánticos White Blend 2020

This one has fleshed out nicely over the last 2 years, showing better balance and integration of flavors. Acidity has become more mellow. Nose of lava/asphalt/petrol and grilled lemon. Very mineral, earthy, and austere on the palate as well. Lemony, smoky and salty finish. Almost like a shot of tequila…! 🌵 🍋 🧂
Singular and special.

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 2000

Quite yellow gold colour , wide light lemon rim. Shows quite a lot of development . Quite toasty with roasted nuts , candied citrus peel , candle wax , ginger , saffron, curry powder, sea breeze. On the palate this is structured and quite full bodied with the nutty character , ginger and candied lemon rind , great intensity and grip , salty , balanced acidity and very long and balanced on the finish . Drinking well now but needs time to open , will probably continue at this high level for another 5-10 years and maybe even improve further — 6 months ago

Granite Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2022

What a nose! Oyster shell, lemon, chalk, a tiny salty, savoury thing too. The palate is clean, bright, broad and minerally. There is lemon, there is a pinch of salt, there is a powerful ball of a midpalate, and a strong long, powerful finish with lemon, that chalky mouthfeel, that pinch or salt and a superb everlasting smile on my face. What. A. Wine! Best muscadet I have ever had — 2 years ago

Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura 2010

A classic. 100% Viura from the Zaconia vineyard, located right outside López de Heredia’s winery in Haro. Fermented in ancient oak vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in used barrels for four years, followed by another 6 years in bottle. Complex nose with oxidative notes. Chamomile, flowers, beeswax, lemon curd. Austere on the mouth, with great acidity and freshness. Long, subtly salty finish. Amazing — 5 years ago
