A Hand picked selection of hearty reds to warm your cockles through the Christmas period. Tasting notes included.
Chateau Barrail–Laussac Classic Red Bordeaux with great structure. The nose is one of black pepper and aromas of blueberry and cherry. A well balanced palate with smooth tannins and a spicy aftertaste.
Hidden Sea Shiraz – Powerful and incredibly smooth. Aromas of strawberry jam, plum and subtle oak. Generous and well rounded, showing sweet fruit and layered flavours with a persistent finish.
Para Dos Malbec – A soft and supple malbec from Argentina, the name “para dos” means “for two” and that’s exactly how this wine should be enjoyed! A great pairing for red meat dishes
Barton Guestier Cotes Du Rhone – A medium full Rhone wine with trademark earthy and herbaceous notes. Violets and black cherry with a warming spicy finish.
Trastullo Primitivo – Our best selling wine this is a true winter warmer “like drinking a black forest gateaux”. A deep purple powerful wine with flavours of black cherry sweet spice and vanilla.
Belle Etoile Pinot Noir – This has been our go to “turkey wine” for the last 3 Christmases. Light in body but full of wild strawberry and damson. Great colour and light enough to pair with turkey or goose.
Leggermente – A complex bouquet of sweet spice and black fruit. Welcoming cherry and black cherry on the palate, a rally deep smooth full wine. Perfect for winter evenings in front of the fire.
El Meson Rioja Reserva – A traditional Rioja Reserva, with dried fruit, fig and soft subtle oak. An absolutely perfect match for roast lamb with rosemary, or on its own with good company.
Pardon et Fils Beaujolais – light and easy drinking this 100% gamay is so versatile it will go with all manner of dishes from salmon to spaghetti Bolognese. A great wine on its own as well with raspberry, cherry and a touch of cranberry.
Vistamar Reserva Merlot – Purple/red with forest fruits on the nose. Blueberries and blackcurrant also apparent with fresh herbs. These are joined by soft vanilla and cocoa on the palate.
Rupe Secca Nero D’Avola – A Sicilian wonder! This little gem has become known as The King Of The Easy Drinkers in store, and its not hard to see why. Ripe black and red fruit, soft sweet spice, this wine just slips down.
Pascual Toso estate Malbec – Fruit driven Mendoza malbec that routinely scores over 90 points when judged. Blackberry & bramble on the nose leading to a ripe palate of black fruit & damson. A superb pairing for red meat.
