Located on the great plateau of Pomerol and made from 2 small parcels of vines in the village of Riffat. Marrying power with finesse this would be a great gift for a lover of Bordeaux and will age well if tucked away.

Esteemed appellations like Margaux produce wonderfully rich yet tannic wines with generous acidity, fruit and smoothness. Flavours of dried Sultanas and Dates in the background behind a just ripe Plummy taste to the fore. This wine comes into its own when served with food, particularly roasted red meats.

A previous winner of a Decanter Magazine commendation and a silver in the International Wine Challenge this is an incredibly powerful and full on Barbera. Sourced exclusively from one independent importer to the UK, this is something very special for lovers of powerful Italian Reds.

94 2000 Bodegas Urbina Selección Crianza (13.5%) A wine for lovers of mature, traditional Rioja at a very appealing price, this is a super Crianza that showcases Tempranillo grapes from the cool climate area of Cuzcurrita.

With hand-picked fruit from a site close to the church of Pomerol, this wine is stunning. The blend is 90% Merlot, with the rest being Cabernet. First tasted with Emeric from Vinectar and was blown away. Ripe red fruit and subtle oak, unmistakably Bordeaux, dryish finish. Such a pleasure to drink.

A blend of both red and white Mediterranean grape varieties, dry farmed in the Maule Valley, Chile. Light in colour but intense and powerful. So much complexity, Wild Herb, Strawberry, Damsons and Earthy tones.

Limited cases arrive in the UK of the Morande Adventure Range. This cracking Carignan blend includes a dash of Chardonnay giving the rich and spicy Carignan a more lifted and floral quality. This is definitely a wine to get out the best glassware for, and really savour.
