A truly great vintage, from a truly great grower. Barolo 2021 is the most anticipated vintage for some time, and the wines from Sandrone well and truly deliver on the hype. The season was shaped by a long, moderate growing season, balanced yields and low pHs.

Although it’s extremely rare to find top-notch, top-value GROWER Burgundy these days, there is still some to be found if you know where to look.
“Pioneer” is not a term to be used lightly, yet it is entirely fitting when describing the careers of Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy. This influential partnership was not only among the early wave of growers who seriously explored and planted the Mornington Peninsula in the early 1990s...
