We used to think that Sofia Barbanera's regular Saracosa was intense. And then she upped the ante, with this lavish, luscious, silky smooth Saracosa Governo. A limited-edition luxury version of her already indulgent ‘Super Tuscan’, Governo uses an ancient Tuscan method of allowing a portion of the grapes to air dry for a period of time, dialling the flavour concentration way up. Italy’s top critic, Luca Maroni, has long been a fan of the Saracosa reds, and this one is no exception – he has rated both the 2016 and the 2017 vintagehere a stunning 98 points! English wine writer Oz Clarke is also smitten by Governo’s many charms, calling it “indulgent and exotic”. One taste and we think you’ll fall in love with it too.

A radiant crimson purple glow sets the scene for an explosion of bright fruit focused aromatics. Ripe raspberry, blueberry, and inky black currant fuse into an exotic amalgam of nighttime on La Rambla in Barcelona. Hints of rosewood, wild woody herbs, pink peppercorns and dark rose petals completing the heady lift of perfume. The juxtaposition of acidity and tannin provides an instant tension of flavour and texture. Ripe pippy blackberry and tangy red plum slide across the palate with a shimmering acid line giving a resonant persistence. While this wine will easily sit along side generously flavoured food, it would happily go with ambiance alone.

51% Touriga and 49% Tempranillo. Although both quite tannic varieties, winemaker Peter Leask has crafted a youthful yet surprisingly supple drop. Delicious!Deep red to crimson. Fragrant nose of violets, blackberry, mulberry, tobacco and vanilla. Ripe black and purple fruit, with a seductively plush texture, some attractive cigar box and leather complexity, and a powerful finish. Yet to show its best.

Pinot Noir 60%, Sangiovese 28%, Shiraz 12% All the individual varieties were fermented separately in small 2 tonne parcels. The fruit was 100% destemmed and pressed after 18 days on skins.
