Te Kano's Land Series & Landwalker Wines Impress with Unique Blends
Te Kano's Land Series and Landwalker wines have been making waves in the wine world, showcasing unique blends and terroir expressions. Meanwhile, Companhia de Vinhos dos Profetas e Villões, a lesser-known winery, is reviving old vineyards on Madeira and Porto Santo islands. In England, Sugrue South Downs is making strides in Pinot Noir production.
Te Kano's Land Series offers three single-vineyard expressions of 2022 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Landwalker Pinot Noir (£40 Davy's) combines Northburn's graphite tannic structure, Bannockburn's weight, and Waitaki's lifted aromatics. The Landwalker Chardonnay (£34 Davy's) blends elements from all three sub-regions, delivering vibrant aromatics and purity of fruit. Both wines are part of Te Kano's new estate blends from Bannockburn, Northburn, and Waitaki.
In England, Sugrue South Downs is aiming to produce the best red wines in England, focusing on still red Pinot Noir in Essex. Meanwhile, Companhia de Vinhos dos Profetas e Villões, founded by António Maçanita, is making standout wines like Rosé dos Villões 2024, Caracol dos Profetas 2024, and Vinho da Corda 2023. The winery is dedicated to saving old vineyards at risk of abandonment on Madeira and Porto Santo islands.
Château Rocheyron in St-Emilion, led by Peter Sisseck, is a beacon of biodynamic winemaking. It crafts wines that embody the estate's terroir with finesse and tension.
Te Kano's Land Series and Landwalker wines continue to impress with their unique blend of sub-regional characteristics. Sugrue South Downs' pursuit of top English red wines and Companhia de Vinhos dos Profetas e Villões' commitment to reviving old vineyards add exciting dimensions to the wine world. Château Rocheyron's biodynamic approach further enriches the global wine landscape.
