Three wines to watch out for from Louis Latour Agencies at SITT Spring: Monday, Feb 27, London; Wednesday, March 1, Manchester

2019 Banfi Poggio alle Mura Rosso di Montalcino

The culmination of Banfi’s work exploring the Sangiovese clones and viticultural approaches most suitable for their vineyards complemented by innovations in the winery. From selected vineyards surrounding their medieval castle Poggio alle Mura; an enjoyable, fruit-forward yet elegant red.

2019 Smith & Sheth Heretaunga Syrah

From the Gimblett Gravels district of Hawke’s Bay, made by contemporary negociants Steve Smith MW and Brian Sheth. It comes from hand-tended, low yielding vineyards and is made gently, with 14 months’ barrel ageing resulting in a finely tuned wine. Ready to drink, with red berry and savoury notes, but with a good decade ahead of it.

2021 Viu Manent Tiny Trials Cinsault

From the cool Itata Valley ,a corner of Chile where, amongst forests and ravines, you can find twisted Cinsault vines adapted to the sandy granite soils. Viu Manent are working with two 30-year-old vineyards whose location, 20km from the sea, allows for a slow gentle ripening. Vibrant and perfumed with ripe cherry and strawberry fruit notes.

Look to Spain for elegant and expressive whites

The arrival of spring calls for elegant white wines with revitalising acidity and fresh aromatics. We’re looking to Spain, where cooling Atlantic influence, prime high-altitude sites and an intricate patchwork of soils provide immense potential for producing exceptional white wines. Across the country, producers are championing indigenous grape varieties and unearthing forgotten regions. Well adapted to their local climate, soils and topography, the vines produce distinctive white wines with a sense of place, which have successfully moved from curiosities to firm favourites.

From Ribeiro in Galicia, the “Manar dos Seixas” 2019 from Gallina de Piel – an exciting winemaking project from David Seijas, former head sommelier at El Bulli – is an unoaked blend of the local Treixadura, Albariño, Godello and Loureiro, with savoury complexity, nervy acidity and wonderful texture. Sourced from an 80-year-old vineyard at 820 metres in the cool area of Segovia, the unoaked Flor de Vetus Rueda Verdejo 2021 is bursting with tropical, white stone and citrus fruit balanced by refreshingly crisp acidity. And El Coto’s vibrant, unoaked Rioja Blanco 2021 sees 85% Viura blended with Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc to add freshness and aromatic intensity. El Coto is the largest vineyard owner in Rioja and its new Finca Carbonera estate, with parts reaching almost 900 metres above sea level, is the highest vineyard in the region – perfect for the new white varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo) recently authorised by the Rioja Wine Board.
