Using the Metodo Classico, this shows bright aromas of citrus, mountain flower and apricot. The mouthfeel is round and smooth, with a playful touch of bitter almond on the close.

This opens with aromas of wild berry, citrus, peach, grapefruit and spring flower. The appearance is elegant and feminine, as is the impression it leaves on the palate.

What’s nice about this wine is the acidity: It burns; it sparkles; it makes your mouth water and prepares it for yummy food. It’s not all about fruit, oak and lees—a meal in itself. The flavors are of apples and peaches dusted with pepper and cinnamon. —S.H.

If you like your red wines jammy and young, with forceful acids, youÕll like this one from Oz. Shiraz stars with peppery notes, but the blend works well and the wine is clean and fresh and dry, at a value price.

A bit rough and ready but overall a nice, fruity wine. It’s satisfactorily dry, with a good balance acidity, tannins and alcohol. There’s a tart sharpness but if you can overlook it, it’s not too bad.

Lean and dominated by tart apple aromas and flavors. Lemon and acid on the palate ensures a fresh, snappy feel, but with so much tang it’s on the sour side.
