Kamil Barczentewicz Case

The first Polish wine to be crowned a Wine Champion in our blind tastings! Our panel of 2026 tasters praised its ‘cool, fresh, lavender profile.’ ‘It’s got a little tug of tannins on the finish but it’s a light-bodied, floral and very serious wine.’ It’s made by Kamil Barczentewicz, who is part of the new generation of winemakers in Poland making their mark. With only 12 hectares in the south-east of the country on limestone slopes, he started making wine in 2017 and is now being recognised for his bright, pure and well-balanced wines. There’s definitely element of the savoury and spicy here, with 60% of the wine aged in barrels to bring an attractive note of the latter. Red berries and plum combine with a brightness and lightness of touch on the palate.

This riesling is aged in stainless steel on its yeast lees for 12 months and produces a wine with plenty of texture as well as tension. Fleshy white peach, citrus and hints of blossom combine with a steely note and lots of tangy acidity.

This is the second vintage we are taking of the Chardonnay, the 2023 which sold out almost immediately. Aged in concrete eggs, this chardonnay has so much texture and finesse with a breadth on the palate that combines with lots of saltiness, white blossom and citrus hints. This wine is one to watch in the future to rival top Chardonnays from across the world.
