This Gergenti Organic Frappato, made by organically grown grapes, embodies the unique charm of Sicily. Red ruby colour. The aroma is fresh and fruity with a scent of blueberries and red berries. The grapes are hand-picked in early August. After the harvest, the grapes are left to be macerated with their skins for 6 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After that the wine is aged in the bottle for another month.
Gently spicy and perfumed on the nose with a typically gamey complex palate which is long and flavoursome. A very traditional red Burgundy with real charm and substance.
Poised, yet complex nose with notes of honeysuckle, stone fruit and gentle toasty oak. The palate is beautifully textured, with an almost exotic note, evident yet perfectly integrated oak and ripe fruit. Complex and with a long toasty, citrus finish. The real skill is creatinga wine with such fantastic freshness in as warm a vintage as 2022.
Pronounced black cherry, cedar and spice aromas. The palate is supple yet richly-flavoured with layers of dark plum, bramble fruit and cherry supported by well-integrated tannins. Toasty notes, black pepper and dried fruit characters on the finish.
Colour is a deep tawny. Complex nutty aromas combined with hints of honey and figs. On the palate, rich mature fruit flavours, beautifully mellowed with a luscious long finish.
Excellent bouquet with nutty character and mature fruits with an orange peel. Rich, sweet and smooth on the palate, it is perfectly balanced with a long and lingering finish.
Very complex array of aromas leap out of the glass from dried fruit and chocolate toffee. On the palate the initial hit of delicate fruit and raisins fade to give way to toasted toffee and dark chocolate. The aftertaste and finish lasts a lifetime!
Deep opaque with an elegant nose of forest fruit with hints of mint and eucalyptus, the palate is rich with red fruits, raisins and supple, slightly peppery tannins balanced with soft acidity and minerality. The finish is long and full.
Six Grapes closely resembles a young Grahams Vintage Port in style as it is full-bodied, with rich black fruit on the palate, and fragrant blackberry aromas. Six Grapes is bottled when it is still relatively young in order to retain its freshness and characteristic opulence.
Fresh almost tropical aromas then stone fruit and citrus on the palate with a creamy texture, mineral notes, vibrant acidity and classic saline characters. Quite ripe and complex in style but with fresh balancing acidity and a classic saline character. This is an absolute benchmark Albariño from one of the top producers - the '23 vintage being oe of the best in recent memory, according to winemaker Diego Ríos.
Granbazán Limousin shows that Albarino can be world class - not just when lees-aged, but also with careful oak maturation. The aromas explode out of the glass with ripe peach, melon and marzipan character. Though this richness carries on to the palate, there is fantastic tension and brightness on display too. Alongside all the fruits the wine has lightly spicy notes and a saline, refreshing finish.
A delicate yet rich, Pinot Noir-based rose from a Pinot Noir specialist, this has a fine mousse, wonderful texture and deliciously tangy finish. Beautiful!
A fresh, pretty and youthful red wine that will mellow as it develops in the bottle. Supple yet with underlying structure, it is quite lifted on the nose with raspberry and floral notes. Packed full of ripe, crunchy red berry fruit backed up with a hint of liquorice and touch of spice. Fresh, elegant and pleasingly simple.
This Italian white wine has a honeyed, floral and spicy nose with hints of ginger and stone fruit. Ripe, sun-dried citrus characters follow on the palate with savoury notes and a creamy texture. There is a fresh balancing acidity and a lightly nutty finish.
Exceptional and unusually fine example of one of Italys most underrated white varieties. Fresh and lightly floral on the nose with savoury, nutty notes. The palate is complex with crisp citrus flavours, ripe stone fruit, and tropical characters on the textured mid-palate. A subtle and multi-layered wine with immediately appealing freshness and fruit leading to a taut, savoury, mineral finish. Fantastic with grilled white meats, risotto and pasta.
Brilliant clear golden yellow. Intensely flowery (violets), and fruity (apricot, peaches and citrus). Fresh and round. Rich, unctuous and full bodied. Harmonious with light acidity and round fleshy fruits. Delicate and elegant.
Dry, full-bodied, fruity, viognier-dominant white from the Rhone, fragrant with complex flavours of peach, pear and a touch of honey. Lovely on its own and excellent with shellfish.
This is a fabulous Gigondas, very powerful with ripe, weighty tannins, the whole aged in large oak foudres for that added patina. Open well in advance and preferably decant.
Its deep red hue with glints of violet unleashes a powerful nose dominated by red fruits and subtly loaded with delicate oak aromas from the barrels. On the palate, the frank and youthfully fruity attack is taken up by supple and rounded tannins.
Brilliant clear straw yellow. Powerful and complex nose. Strong notes of white flowers. Delicate oak aromas. A clean supple attack. Very aromatic finish with pears and citrus fruits. Exceptionally fresh and fruity. Round and powerful on the palate.
The most famous pale cream Sherry in the world produced by careful blending to create a sweet sherry which is lighter and fresher. Best served chilled.
Made exclusively from hand-picked grapes, this Pinot Gris is golden and dense while the nose shows aromas of honey, white flowers and brioche. It is well-balanced with spicy aromas and a good length. The finish is fresh with lingering hints of liquorice. This Pinot Gris is a great match for pan-fried foie gras, roast venison, fish curries, fricassee of wild mushrooms and blue cheese.
Very dry, racy, and firm and yet opens up with lively jasmine, spicy ginger, white tea floral notes over a structured palate and intense, mineral finish. Feels like a drive through the luscious Golden Bay.
