Decanter World Wine Awards

Avamposti Altrove Nebbiolo, Monferrato DOC, 2022  

A bashful youth exuding subtle notes of plum, cherry, strawberry and baking spice on the nose framed by a crunchy, mouth-coating texture and fine-spun tannins. Stirring and lengthy with a delectable pomegranate acidity which prevails. Platinum 97 Points 

Valmiñor Albariño, DO Rias Baixas, 2024

Elaborate swirls of lime, lemon, passionfruit and white peach entice the nose whilst the pristine purity of acidity and mineral freshness disarms the terroir-driven palate. Salty, linear and tangy, demonstrating Atlantic style at its best. Platinum 97 Points

Sommelier Wine Awards  

Heaphy Riesling, Nelson, 2023

Stunning colour, and aromas of peach, melon, and cherry blossoms. Nice acidity, and therefore fab balance, with some petrol notes. This is sunshine, by the glass.’  Stephanie Robertson, Restaurant Associates.

Great character, with tons of lime cordial and herbal zip. Very expressive for it’s price point, and would make an excellent by the glass option for any restaurant that wants seafood friendly wines. Sam Weatherill, etch. by Steven Edwards. Critics Choice Award, Gold Award and By the Glass Award

Independent Canned Wine Awards

Tuttavia Orange Spritz, NV

Vibrant and crowd-pleasing, with bold Aperol spritz character and juicy orange flavours. The sweetness is well-judged, and the balance makes for easy, enjoyable drinking. While the orange note leans slightly artificial, it’s in keeping with the style and delivers on refreshment and fun-factor. A confident and well executed aperitif drink. Silver Medal 

Tuttavia Moscato, 2024

A fragrant, floral style with classic Muscat character; aromatic, juicy, and full of charm. The palate is expressive, with generous fruit and a soft sweetness that some may find a touch overdone, but it remains very drinkable and true to type. A vibrant, varietally correct wine. Silver Medal

Tuttavia Peach Moscato, NV

A charming, peach-driven style with lovely notes of white blossom and ripe stone fruit. Nicely balanced with the sweetness well in check, offering a fresh and easy-drinking profile that would suit a sunny picnic perfectly. While it leans slightly simple and could offer a touch more freshness or complexity, it delivers on its promise – precise and tasty, with lots of natural peach character. Silver Medal

Tuttavia Rosé, NV

A joyful, well-executed, classic wine. Bright, aromatic and clean with a soft, persistent fizz and plenty of easy-drinking charm. Slightly on the sweet side and fairly simple, but undeniably loveable. Evokes warm summer days. Silver Medal
