Barolo 'Flori' Araldica Piemonte
£22.99
A complex nose combining plum, mulberry, ripe strawberry and brown spice with delicate floral and violet notes. Tannins are firm and pleasingly supported with plump fruit and a rounded texture, giving a good lengthy finish.
Perfect with wild boar sausages, venison, roast lamb or gamey stews.
Suitable for vegans.
Suitable for vegetarians.
Made from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated around the town of Barolo in southern Piemonte. These are
trained on a low Guyot trellis at a density 4-5,000 vines/ha. The grapes were hand-harvested, de stemmed and then crushed to small fermenters, for around 12 days, with daily pumping-over. This
ensures good colour and flavour extraction, but avoids over extraction of the abundant Nebbiolo
tannins. The wine was drained off at dryness, and the skins transferred to a small press. After pressing
the wine was settled for two days, and then racked to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation.
After three years maturation in 50hl Slavonian oak casks it was racked and bottled.

Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vallet Freres France
£24.49
A pretty, translucent ruby colour with earthy, strawberry fruit and a light pepperyness on the nose. Mouthwatering acidity balances the moderate gentle ripe tannins and elegant, pure, somewhat savoury red fruit.
Serve with a traditionally Coq au Vin. Roast chicken or young game birds and equally good with pasta
bakes or wild mushroom linguine
Suitable for vegans
Suitable for vegetarians
The grapes come into the winery as whole bunches because the Vallets believe that destalked wines
lose their colour too quickly. The first 10cm of each barrel is filled with grapes which are crushed by
foot, the barrel is then topped up with whole bunches and fermentation starts naturally after 2-3 days.
Since yeasts are an expression of the individual vintage and vineyard, no artificial yeasts are used. 3-4
times a day the pulp is trodden by foot to further extract colour and flavour. The wines are left in open
top fermenters until the cap sinks then decanted into 20-30% well-toasted new oak (a small percentage
compared to most). After 15-20 months the wine is racked, blended and lightly fined. Wines are not
filtered but checked by candlelight, then bottled directly from barrel by hand on a cask by cask basis.

Bush Vine Pinotage False Bay South Africa
£10.49
Fresh, plummy aromas with savoury, smoky notes. The palate is ripe and rich with vibrant fruit, slightly rustic yet moreish tannins and a persistent finish.
Perfect with pork belly dishes or barbecued meats, boerwurst, game or good, old fashioned sausage and mash.
Suitable for vegans.
Suitable for vegetarians.
The grapes for False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage stem from a single vineyard of unirrigated bush vines in
Stellenbosch. The attraction to this mature (planted in 1996), coastal, bush vine vineyard were the
cooler temperatures and small, naturally balanced and concentrated berries. Made by Waterkloof's
talented young Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard. Balanced grapes are hand harvested, fermented
spontaneously with wild yeast and then raised in large wooden casks (or 'foudre' en Francais). The
resulting wine therefore, is perhaps more 'Pino' than 'Tage'. No additions other than sulphur as a
preservative. Grown, made and bottled in South Africa. False Bay - Real Wine,
Coastal Vineyards, Sustainably Farmed, Hand Picked, Naturally Crafted, Wild Ferment, Cask Aged.

Taken from the pristine soils of the Limestone Coast, this Cabernet
Sauvignon shows the trademark bright fruit and generous flavours
associated with the region.
The cool air flow and long sunshine hours in this area provide
extended ripening and hence complexity. Cabernet is well suited
to this climate, developing intense black fruit aromas whilst
maintaining lovely natural acidity and a sturdy tannin structure.

Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva Novas Maule Valley Chile Organic
£13.99
Ruby red in colour. The nose is intense, with a pronounced presence of fruity aromas such as cherries and strawberries as well as truffle and chocolate. Medium bodied, well balanced, and delicate, with particularly smooth tannins and rich acidity, resulting in a juicy and very pleasing wine with a persistent finish.
Ideal with meat-based dishes and stews. This wine shows a unique harmony with grilled blood sausage, slow-cooked beef, and pastas such as gnocchi with blue cheese. Serve at 18ºC in a Bordeauxstyle glass.
The grapes for this wine come from organic vineyards of Los Morros and Los Robles in the Maipo Valley. Soils are alluvial, rich in minerals with good drainage and irrigated by water from the snow thaw. The grapes were hand picked. The Maipo zone has ideal conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The Maipo River regulates the temperatures naturally and prevents frost and extremes of heat and cold. The spring of 2013 was slightly colder than the historic average, followed by a summer with high temperatures, which accelerated ripening and prevented the delays that were initially predicted for the 2014 harvest. Rainfall in the Maipo Valley was concentrated in the winter months and reached approximately 250 mm, which is well below the nearly 450 mm recorded during the 2012–2013 season. The grape reception area includes a double selection conveyor belt that allows selection first at the bunch level and again after destemming. Vinification begins with a 4–5-day prefermentation cold soak at 8ºC followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts at 26ºC and a pumpovers program determined by enological criteria. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in tanks and barrels, where the wine is aged at controlled temperatures for 12 months. It is neither fined nor stabilized; it is just lightly filtered with a 1-micron cartridge filter prior
to bottling.

Attractive aromas of black currant and crunchy red fruit accompanied by notes spice. The palate is concentrated and very smooth with great crunchy red fruit character. The tannins are ripe and provide
welcome grip and combined delicious acidity, leads to a balanced finish.

This wine is ideal with well-seasoned, strong-flavoured dishes, such as pasta with Bolognese sauce, stuffed cannelloni, grilled beef, pork, or poultry. It also goes very nicely with ripe cheeses, salami, ham, and pastrami.
The Central Valley vitivinicultural zone extends from the Maipo Valley in the north to the Maule Valley in the south. The entire zone has good drainage, high fertility, and tremendous agricultural aptitude, especially for red grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and others. The Mediterranean climate has warm summers with broad daily oscillations between daytime and night time temperatures, and cold, rainy winters that allow for good vine development. The soils are of alluvial origin with moderate depth, and good for agriculture. The grapes were hand picked in mid- April and submitted to a week-long pre-fermentation cold soak at 8ºC (46ºF) to extract fresh fruit characteristics. Alcoholic fermentation took place at 25º–28ºC with daily pump-overs. The new wine remained on its skins for a period, after which the free run wine was separated from its skins and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally. Part of this wine was aged in oak barrels for 6 months and later reblended to achieve a more complex character.

The story of Carmenère in Chile has been told
frequently, with this Bordeaux grape being brought to Chile in 1850, where for
over 140 years it was mistaken for Merlot until it was “rediscovered” by a
French ampelographist in 1994. Now regarded as Chile's signature red grape,
whereas in Europe it has never recovered from the phylloxera plague that swept
Europe in the late 19th century and is now quite rare.
This wine was produced by Viña Luis Felipe Edwards,
one of Chile’s largest family-owned wineries, who have been dedicated to
producing wines of the highest quality since 1976. Their estate vineyards
contain vines of up to 75 years old, with this wine made from grapes grown in
the renowned Rapel Valley. LFE wines have consistently won awards from some of
the most prestigious competitions and wine critics around the world. In
addition, LFE has been awarded for being one of the best New World and Chilean
wine producers, almost consecutively since 2012.
The fruit was vinified in Luis Felipe Edwards's
winery in Nancagua using a blend of traditional and modern techniques, with
stainless steel vats throughout.

FOOD MATCH
Ideal served with barbecued red meats and stews, and well-seasoned white and game meats. Also excellent paired with pastas such as rigatoni and ripe cheeses.
The Colchagua Valley extends from San Fernando in the north to Chimbarongo in the south. The climate is Mediterranean, and the area receives winds from the south and morning fog. Springs are frost-free, and summers are very warm, which encourages proper ripening. Summers are hot but with cool night temperatures. The soils are medium to very deep, of alluvial origin, and have a silty-loam texture that allows for good vine development. The grapes were hand picked in late April and early May and submitted to a week-long pre-fermentation cold treatment at 8ºC (46ºF) to extract more fruit characteristics. Alcoholic fermentation took place at 25º–28ºC (77º–82ºF) with pumpovers determined by daily tastings through the end of the process. A post-fermentation maceration followed, and then the wine was devatted, separating the free-run wine from the skins. Malolactic fermentation took place naturally. 20% of the wine was aged in French oak for 6 months and then blended for a more complex character.

Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge Domaine Chante Cigale
£34.99
This is a traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape serious and brooding and benefits from a little time to breath and open up. The palate is complex with herby, tapenade flavours and ripe textured tannins balancing the significant 15% alcohol which is expertly managed and integrated.
Try with traditional roast lamb, lentil and vegetable moussaka and any rich hot-pot that heavily features aromatic 'herbes de Provence'.
The soils of the vineyard are made up of clay and chalk covered with a layer of the classic large peebles ('galets') found in this area, which naturally keep yields low. The vines are over 60 years old and situated near the plateau de Carbières (close to Château Montredon). Harvesting is by hand, with selective sorting of the grapes. The grapes undergo a traditional long 'cuvaison' at quite high temperature and with extended maceration on the skins, 21-24 days to extract plenty of colour, fruit and tannins. This is followed by ageing for between 14-18 months in 'foudres' (large oak barrels), 70% vats, 30% Burgundian pieces and casks.

Pinot Noir The Cloud Factory Marlborough New Zealand
£15.79
From maritime vineyards in Marlborough’s south easterly extremes in the Blind River Valley. We exploit this coastal fruit by capturing a breezy finesse over the classic cranberry and wild strawberry aromas giving us a wine with enough bite and texture to be foody but with enough generosity of fruit to be a delicious glass on its own. A lick of oak in the winemaking lends a little soothing creaminess to the whole.
Made to go with delicate, rich and aromatic food such as duck dim sums, tempura fried vegetables and oriental salads.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

25% of the grapes were transfered directly into 1000 Kg bins without being destemmed then sealed and put through a carbonic macceration fermentation for 10 days in order to produce the strawberry fruit part of the blend. The remaining 75%was destemmed lightly crushed and then macerated and fermented normally at 25°C in stainless steel automated fermenters. Both wines were then seperately pressed and the noncarbonic maceration wine was lightly oaked for 2 months before blending.

Our Shiraz is sourced from ancient Victorian soils in order to achieve a wine with greater finesse,
purity and structure as well as typical eucalypt flavours and saline finish associated with the area.
Picked at night and crushed within an hour of picking before being sent to the fermentation tanks. The
Shiraz grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled tanks maintained at 22 - 25ºC to avoid
extracting any harsh tannins, with the fermentations pumped over to extract good colour. 20% of the
final blend is barrel aged. The winemaker also added 5% Malbec at the end of the whole process - a
sneaky technique that gives a mulberry fruit twist on the finish.

Tempranillo
95%, Garnacha 5%. The vines in La Muga and Los Poyatos vineyards are mostly
very old Tempranillo bush vines. Really healthy grapes were harvested and after
slow fermentation in tank at controlled temperatures the wine was transferred
to barrel for 6 months. A mixture of a very few of new American oak barrels,
just to give the spice and toast aromas but mostly 2nd and 3rd year barrels of
predominantly French oak were used to promote the evolution of the wine from a
bright fruit bomb to something more mellow with a roundness and the
unmistakeable stamp of something good, a “Semi-Crianza” of sorts.

Vintage Fortified Shiraz D'Arenberg Australia
£17.99
Beautiful perfume with blackberry, blueberry and middle eastern saffron spice on the nose. Dusty, earthy aromas give way to layers of aniseed and black olive. The palate beautifully follows the nose; mouth filling, generous and not overtly sweet. One that can be cellared for many years.
Small batches of grapes are gently crushed and then transferred to five tonne headed down open fermenters. Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation. The wine is then basket pressed and a small amount of fine, fortifying brandy spirit is added, ending fermentation and reatining the sweet fruit richness of the style. The Vintage Fortified does not spend any time in wood prior to bottling.
Perfect with chocolate desserts of blue cheese.
