The second wine of what is widely considered one of the best Chateauneuf, "Le Telegraphe", this wine is made to be drunk now. Bold complex Dried Fruit and Herbs. Stunning with roast beef!
-
Bright ruby in colour this is a soft, expressive Merlot from the Central Valley in Chile. Easy-drinking enough to drink on its own but will also work well with a Sunday roast.
-
Prime fruit from select vineyards help to create a Rioja with gorgeous purity of fruit. Limited use of oak allows the Tempranillo to shine through. Soft and smooth to the finish.
-
A great all round glugger enough varietal identity to keep one interested whilst versatile enough to go with most foods and occasions.
-
A revelation at DVino Wines and "Like a baby Amarone!". An incredibly full and powerful, fully organic Primitivo from Puglia in southern Italy. Just like Amarone a portion of the grapes used are dried to add even more body and complexity. Like drinking a Black Forest gateau!

Long aftertaste with good persistence. Tim Atkins:
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. Bright, focused and refreshing, it has aromas of Asian spices and tobacco leaf, redcurrant and summer pudding flavours, subtle oak and silky tannins. Delicious. -
Picked for its unique location and climate in the Cachapoal Valley, Secreto is a special project run by two families focussing on the terroir of the area. There's Blackcurrant, Caramel and Toast on the palate with firm tannins and a long finish.
-
A superb Reserva from one of the oldest producers in Rioja. Lots of dried and stewed fruit flavours to compliment fresh Raspberry and Cherry. Fine tannins deliver a touch of dryness on the finish. A great accompaniment to roast lamb.
-
Not much to touch this in the Pinot Noir stakes for under a tenner. Lots of fresh Berry Fruit with soft spicy notes. A great finish and will pair well with light pasta dishes and tomato based sauces.
-
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.
