Château Boutisse has been ranked Grand Cru Classé since 2022. The château, which was bought in 1996 by Xavier Milhade, is considered the most precious jewel in the family’s collection and is now run by Marc Milhade. Since 2005, major projects have been under way to achieve a level of quality worthy of the greatest Saint-Emilion wines. Marc also focussed on sustainability using growing methods, equipment and facilities that are more respectful of the environment. The vineyard has been certified High Environmental value (HVE3) since 2018 and has started its organic viticulture conversion in 2020. The grapes are picked by hand, then very carefully sorted, vinified in small stainless steel tanks for gentle, precise extraction and then matured in French oak for twelve to fifteen months.

On the nose there is strawberry jam and crushed, dried herbs, some woody, cedary notes also evident. The palate has a mix of slightly syrupy fruit with peppery spice and somewhat rasping, grippy tannins, the finish a touch warm. The wine seems to lack punch and definition at this stage.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe estate now extends to more than 500 hectares (1250 acres) with, in total, more than 200 (500 acres) used as vineyards and 22 (54 acres) as olive groves, subdivided across the company’s six estates: Le Macìe, Sant’Alfonso, Fizzano e le Tavolelle in the Chianti Classico Area, in addition to the Campomaccione and Casa Maria estates in the Morellino di Scansano Area (Maremma).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e1 x Pikes Traditional Riesling 2024 - Clare Valley, Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Aaron Brasher, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - CellarTracker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAaron Brasher, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Lovely fragrant aromas of lemon, lime, bath salts, white flowers and feijoa.

At times unnervingly reliable. The ’22 is good gear – juicy, bright, zingy with acidity, ticklish and brisk in acid profile with juicy green apple and pink grapefruit fruitiness set around skittish, laser-like tang. Scents are good too, with floral, citrus blossom and jasmine and whiffs of lime and grapefruit again in the mix. It finds a good balance between fruitiness, refreshment factor and tension, too.

Delicious now but has the power and integrity to also age well.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePikes is a prestigious winery in South Australia's Clare Valley, established in 1984 by Neil and Andrew Pike, whose viticultural roots go back to the late 1800s. Situated in the picturesque Clare Valley, the Estate is comprised of approximately 100 hectares of rolling slopes in Polish Hill River, an eastern sub-region of the Clare Valley.\u003cbr\u003eKnown for its cool climate and diverse grape varieties, Pikes showcases premium wines with distinct characters and flavors due to the unique terroir and altitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter an almost 20-year career with Penfolds Wines and Southcorp Wine Group, Andrew joined Pikes on a full-time basis in 1998 to oversee viticultural operations and manage the growing family business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePikes is particularly renowned for its high-quality Riesling and other cool-climate wines, praised for vibrant acidity, citrus flavors, and exceptional aging potential. Whilst they are best known for world-class Riesling, they have been growing Shiraz and Cabernet for 35 years and have 20 different grape varieties planted on their estate, producing a wide range of wine styles to suit all tastes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePikes pride themselves on producing quality handcrafted wines, that reflect vintage, variety, and region. The Pike family has been producing quality wine, beer, and aerated waters in South Australia since 1886 it is a family tradition of which they should be very proud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir vineyards in Clare Valley grow various grape varieties, with a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture and environmental responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir portfolio includes Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and unique blends, all crafted with a dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Over the years, Pikes has garnered numerous awards, establishing itself as a top producer in the Clare Valley, and gaining recognition both nationally and internationally for their excellent and consistent wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRiesling is a light-skinned, aromatic grape of German origin which is – if the majority of top wine critics are to be believed – the world's finest white wine grape variety. The Riesling vine holds a very different place in the wine world to such great grapes as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Chardonnay. While these immensely popular varieties have conquered every corner of the winegrowing world, Riesling is conspicuously absent from the core wine regions of France, Spain and Italy. Riesling's home is the regions that trace the middle Rhine and the lower Mosel, two of Europe's great wine rivers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pop Up Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48653881540840,"sku":"PUW-DADTST-6PK","price":323.98,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/Father_sDayToastPremiumWineCollection_6Pack.jpg?v=1781619918","url":"https:\/\/popupwine.com.sg\/products\/father-s-day-toast-premium-wine-collection-6-pack","provider":"Pop Up Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
