From what I know the 2018 is the only vintage, so there’s not much to know about it.

Yay got my Rayas allocation.

Four Rayas, seven Fonsalette and five Des Tours. Mostly ones and twos with vintages ranging between 2010 and 2020. For Rayas and Fonsalette this is the 2013 vintage release here in NZ but tiny quantities which have been augmented with some 2010, 2011 and 2012. No Pignan.

1 bottle of 1998 Ch. Magdelaine for Euro 80 (USD 85) at a bottle shop in Milan. Their only bottle I think.

A really long way to carry it back to New Zealand but unable to resist at that price.

Total ignore!

Wow.

The surprising thing is that you managed to get it back to NZ and not drink it. Even if it meant going early to the airport with a decent glass, and popping it open while you watched the planes take off and land.

BTW I decided after a good deal of thought not to ignore you. There are so few of us with decent palates

For those interested, I emailed the winery and received the following response:

“Fermentation in classic oak barrels with subsequent maturation for 36 months in stainless steel tanks. A feinherber Riesling Reserve from the Hermannshöhle, fermented in wooden barrels and on sale for the first time after 66 months.”

Case of 2020 Kirkland Barolo. At $19.99 does a good job of scratching the Barolo itch.

2023 is going to be a great vintage according to the wine makers I spoke with, and tasting these freshly bottled whites. pinks and light reds have confirmed that impression

I think they have hydrocortisone for that?

[brodie_thomson]

Let me offer you a very simple alternative to ignore; visit NZ and who knows a Rayas might just get opened.

The last bottle of 1967 Sobrero.

Filipipo Sobrero wines are pretty special, but the vineyard was sold in the eighties to Mauro Mascarello of Monprivato fame. This particular vineyard are the basis for his super Monprivato cuvée Ca d’Morrissio.
