Eastern European Red Wines

Tikveš, Babuna Red 2022, Macedonia

Silver medal winner

Powerful and exceptionally bold, defined by a massive, spicy grip and intense dark fruit.'
Konstantinos Nestoridis, Oblix at The Shard.

'The balsamic nose is joined by some mint, tomato leaf and medicinal notes, leaving space for some ripe black fruit - plum and black cherry. The finish is complex, with notes of forest floor and tobacco.'
Augusto Gherardi, consultant sommelier.

£21.11 Size: 75cl Hallgarten & Novum Wines

Kozlovic, Teran 2024, West Istria, Croatia

Bronze medal winner

A very bright blueberry nose that moves into blackberry on the palate, with very high acidity on the finish.'
Margot Tyson, Parsons.

'Vibrant and hyper intense, but balanced - great with a red meat stew.'
Konstantinos Nestoridis, Oblix at The Shard.

£16.08 Size: 75cl Hallgarten & Novum Wines

Tikveš, Luda Mara Vranec 2022, Tikveš, Macedonia

Bronze medal winner

Deep and mineral driven, offering a fresh yet jammy richness and a bold, structured palate that would be great alongside a pastrami and cranberry sandwich.'
Konstantinos Nestoridis, Oblix at The Shard.

'Earthy on the nose, and with a silky texture.'
Margot Tyson, Parsons.

£15.01 Size: 75cl Hallgarten & Novum Wines

Vachnadziani Winery, K'Avshiri Red 2022, Georgia

Bronze medal winner

There's harmony of spice and fruit here, with good depth and balance.'

'Pronounced tannins at first, leading to fruit concentration of black plum, strawberry and blueberry, followed by an inviting, juicy finish.'
Augusto Gherardi, consultant sommelier.

£23.51 Size: 75cl Hallgarten & Novum Wines

Talaska Vineyard, Royal Red Oak 2024, Malopolska, Poland

Bronze medal winner

Generous and inviting, showcasing some rounded warmth and the soft, plush depth of this style.'
Konstantinos Nestoridis, Oblix at The Shard.

'Interesting notes of incense, smoke and white pepper on the nose, which linger on the palate too alongside supple, fruit-wrapped tannins and hints of vanilla and smoke from careful use of oak.'
Augusto Gherardi, consultant sommelier.
