Overall, 2015 was a blinder of a vintage, especially for the classics. There are plenty of options for both drinking now or for cellaring later, so take your pick. Europe had an intensely hot summer and many regions were affected by drought, but luck seemed to be mostly on the growers’ side as the majority pulled through, delivering stunning wines. Any of these wines would make a fabulous 10 year old wine gift for an Anniversary or birthday.
Our Wine Expert currently recommends the following wines for this year:
This Year in History: Fun Fact: The first-generation Apple Watch was released.
Eurovision Winner: Sweden with the song "Heroes" by Mans Zelmerlow.
Top Grossing Movie: Star Wars Ep. VII: The Force Awakens
Italian: In Piemonte an exceptional vintage was produced,with great promise thanks to healthy grapes and exceptionally regular bunches. In Tuscany, a cold and rainy winter preceded an irregular spring followed by exceptionally hot, dry summer weather, creating small bunches of Sangiovese, so yields were down across the region however concentration levels concentration levels are very good.
Portugal: Abundant rainfall marked the start of the viticultural year, replenishing depleted soil water reserves. This was to prove crucial due to the very dry winter, spring and summer that followed which was the hottest and driest of the last 36 years. It was the hottest June of the last half-century resulting in exceptionally low yields at harvest time. The conditions leading up to the harvest were excellent and a little late rain followed by sunshine just before picking offset some of the heat stress to produce some of the best grapes in memory (particularly Touriga Franca). The vintage was exceptional but held back from declaration.
