A complex and undoubtedly Gold-worthy style, this had ‘lychee on the nose, then a touch of residual sugar on the palate with Turkish Delight and orange blossom, a waxy texture and acidity on the finish’, according to an impressed James Fryer of Woodhead 17, while Geoffray Bénat of Cépage[s] Wine Bistro was taken with its ‘ripe apricot, peach and honey aromas, rounded lime and citrus with some sweet notes and thyme herb on the palate’.

£11.72 AZIENDA VINICOLA TALAMONTI SRL

This Gold winner separated itself from the crowd with ‘fruity green apple on the nose, showing good fruit character, texture and freshness’, began Street XO’s Raphael Thierry, with team leader Laurent Richet MS picking up a ‘slightly oxidative approach, but also exotic fruit flavours, and peach and apricot, with a saline note of complexity’. ‘Generous tropical fruits and a zestiness’ on the palate sealed the deal for team leader Andrea Briccarello.

£10.22 Liberty Wines

Linh Ziolkowska of Yauatcha City found this wine ‘restrained on the nose, with notes of apple cider and citrus, honeyed and peachy on the palate’, while team leader Martin Lam noted ‘white flowers on a dry honeyed nose, balanced and rounded ripe fruit on the palate with balancing acidity’.

£8.85 Jascots Wine Merchants

‘Peach and citrus, good acidity in a fresh, elegant, minerally style with a long finish,’ said Frédéric Billet of Luton Hoo Hotel Golf & Spa, while team leader Jade Koch found ‘Italian sun in a honeyed, oily and warm style that would be great by the glass’.

£7.56 Milton Sandford Wines

Street XO’s Raphael Thierry highlighted ‘almond and apple on the nose, with a citrusy palate that shows enough vibrancy and texture to match with delicate-flavoured foods’, while for Janusz Pawel Sasiadek of Bottles & Battles there was ‘a slight sweetness on the palate, tropical fruit, peach and almond notes with good minerality’.

£14.54 Delitalia

‘Intense palate of lime and exotic fruits, peach and gooseberry, slightly oxidative in style but balanced by a pleasant minerality,’ said Janusz Pawel Sasiadek of Bottles & Battles. ‘Vibrant, with good purity of lemon-lime fruit and a touch of grass,’ added Street XO’s Raphael Thierry.

£9.95 Cantina Goccia

‘White peach and white florals bordering on pineapple in the mid-palate, with bitter herbal notes and some oiliness, with rose petal hints on the finish,’ said Woodhead 17’s James Fryer, with Geoffray Bénat of Cépage[s] Wine Bistro picking up ‘aromatic white flowers, good balance with fresh peach and apricot’.
