With the rise and rise of Barolo, we set our own Master of Wine, Ned Goodwin, the tough task of highlighting the Top Six Barolo Crus.

Master of Wine Ned Goodwin highlights his Top Six Domaines of Burgundy including Jean-Frederic Mugnier, Ghislaine Barthod, Domaine du Comte Liger Bélair, Jean Grivot, and Domaine George Roumier

While ‘second’ wines may suggest the phalanx of ‘Super Seconds’ as the better performing red wines of the Haut-Médoc have come to be called (all, incidentally, Deuxième Grands Crus Classés), Bordeaux is much more than that swathe of riverside turf on the Left Bank of the Gironde (per one’s perspective when looking at a map).

To welcome Alkina to the Langton’s portfolio, Master of Wine Ned Goodwin caught up with Alkina’s Wine Manager Amelia Nolan to talk about new thinking in the Barossa Valley, ‘terroir whisperer’ Pedro Parra and renowned winemaker Alberto Antonini.

Ned Goodwin MW writes for Langton’s about Levantine Hill. The Yarra Valley project is beyond aspirational in producing ultra-luxury Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet and Syrah. Explore our Levantine Hill portfolio.
