Guardoilvento Etna Bianco Carricante Blend 2024
2024 - Found this little gem on a wine list of new and local Italian restaurant Lucia (Rotterdam). After visiting Sicily last year, I was under the impression that Etna Bianco was more perfumed than my liking. However, this amazing blend had none of this. Pure and focused, with great acidity and minerality. Hints of stone fruit, lemon peel and oil and that slight touch of flint. Splendid wine! — 2 months ago

Another Sakkie masterpiece, unfortunately the yield 2024 did not succeed due to flooding of the vineyard. Yes, flooding!
This 2023 is great. A slight unusual variety Colombard, which is often used for fortified Brandy but has a great character itself. On the nose: quince, pear, some yellow fruit and flowers and a slight hint of oyster. This wine is focused with great acidity, mouthfeel and hints of that quince, slight floral notes and a saline finish which reminds me of oyster shells. Great wine, especially with grilled prawns! — a month ago
