Suppliers are invited to submit samples for review.
It is recommended that technical details and winery tasting notes are provided.
The supplier will receive acknowledgement of receipt of the samples. A review will be made and published on the website, and feedback returned as soon as practically possible dependant on current workload (normally within 3-4 weeks).
Our Rating System:
- 96-100 – Exceptional. A wine with highly distinctive and qualitative attributes placing it among the world’s best-in-class.
- 90-95 – Outstanding. Wines with great character and a high level of refinement. Highly recommended.
- 85-89 – Excellent. A wine that tics most boxes of personality, balance and refinement making it a highly enjoyable drink for connoisseurs.
- 80-84 – Average. Wines around the average mark with no obvious faults but also missing out on distinctive features.
- 75-79 – Below Average. Wine with flaws or not-enjoyable attributes.
Only reviews of products that we rate well and that provide a point of interest and distinction for our readers (above average) will be published.
For submitting wines for sample and obtaining shipping address and details, please contact us.
We can no longer practically publish a detailed review of every sample we receive, although we will publish a free standard review of most if not all submitted samples. A small handling fee is asked to producers willing to have detailed reviews published.
