We were blown away and there's nobody selling this is North-West. Only 18 bottles & we don't know if it'll ever be back in stock at Dvino. Single Estate Own Vineyards Produced from Tempranillo Grapes. Aged 30 Months in American & French Oak. TASTING NOTES VISUAL Dark ruby color, middle layer with a thin mahogany trim. NOSE Complex nose, splendid maturity, mineral aromas, ripe fruit, figs, cherries and plums, tomato jam and dried apricots, cigar box, cherry blossom, harmonious and well defined spicy hints of cinnamon, vanilla and clove. Some leather, snuff leaves and nutmeg. Musk, incense and kola nut. Base of toffee candy, and balsamic notes, fresh and elegant. Very Complex and Amazing.

A top of the range Roero Arneis. This wine undergoes 8 hours crio-maceration to intensify the aroma. It’s then aged on its lees for 3 months & in bottle for 2. Exclusive in the UK, a belter.

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!
-
A great all round glugger enough varietal identity to keep one interested whilst versatile enough to go with most foods and occasions.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The Dolomites in Northern Italy provide the perfect location for Pinot Grigio. Well drained soils and cooling breezes from the mountains themselves allow the grapes to gain more complexity and flavour.

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!
-
Containing 2-3% fortified wine this is an absolute belter of a sparkling Shiraz. Powerful and intense fruit flavours of Blackcurrant and Damson... but with a frothy, fizzy mouth-feel. Try it!

A beautiful pale salmon pink rose from Provence in France. Delicate hints of Strawberry and a suggestion of Cranberry. A lovely Summer evening drink or a perfect match for light salads or poached salmon.
