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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Scoring 93 points from Wine Advocate this sumptuous Bordeaux Sauvignon is mind-blowingly rich and complex. White Melon, Herbal and Peach note. A glorious White Bordeaux.
-
Great dessert wine offering tonnes of ripe quince, honey and Valencia Orange notes. A perfect match with fruit based desserts or a cheese board.. Liquid gold!
-
Owned by the same family for 5 generations, sandy gravel soils and a ruby hue on inspection. The nose is all ripe red fruit, cedar wood and spice. Balanced on the palate with silky tannins. Both expressive and elegant
-
Sourced from vineyards situated close to the magnificent Ch Petrus, this is a proper Right Bank Bordeaux. Merlot dominated, quite dry on the attack. Comes into its own when served with roast beef or lamb.
-
Family owned since 1898 by the Couderc family, this wine gives so much for its relatively modest price. sweet on the attack, lashings of fruit and on the drier side.
-
An outstanding little Claret made from 80% Merlot, this wine is deep purple in colour with a silky mouth-feel. Up front flavours of Blackcurrant and Spice. Th finish is long and complex. An excellent accompaniment to Sunday lunch.
-
A wine of great elegance and class from the oldest wine merchant established in Bordeaux. Red Berry on the nose with oaky notes. Classic dry but powerful Bordeaux on the palate, with a lovely lingering finish. Top Claret!
-
Deep ruby in colour with Black Pepper, Blueberry and Raspberry flavours. Great sun exposure for the vines and an average age of 25 years produces a very generous Claret indeed.
-
Dried Semillon grapes picked for their sweetness and acidity, this is a smooth dessert wine with a lush balanced sweetness. Always great with strong cheeses, sweet but bold with relatively high alcohol.
-
A fun and fruity easy drinker from Spain. Great for parties and gatherings. A nice glugger on its own or with Saturday night take away!
-
Sourced this excellent value White Rioja from the guys at El Meson. 100% Viura, extremely drinkable and would make a great alternative to anyone tiring of Sauvignon Blanc. Fruity, dry and refreshing.
-
A bright and fresh Spanish White made from traditional local Varieties. Works really well with white fish dishes, but can equally well be drunk on its own.
-
A beautifully crafted, fruit forward 100% Tempranillo from La Mancha in Spain. Ripe Red and Black fruit abound, with 10 months in American oak adding soft Vanilla on the finish.
-
A 100% Tempranillo from vines aged between 20 and 60 years. 24 months ageing in barrel gives plenty, though not excessive oak. Glorious ripe Red Fruit and a soft supple mouth-feel. Beautiful with Lamb dishes.
-
We tasted this wine with Manuel from the winery, it's a very fruit forward and modern style of Rioja. Wild Strawberries and herbs with an inkling of Sweet Spice. Oak is used sparingly but is noticeable on the finish.
-
Bosh! Bucket loads of Lime, Quince and Green Apple combine beautifully on the palate to produce a wine full of flavour and fruit intensity. A lovely tart snap on the finish rounds it all off.
-
The only independent Rioja producer in the region, Valdemar are specialists in sourcing the finest grapes from a 290 hectare area. A previous 95 point wine from Tim Atkins. This wine is the perfect balance between richness and acidity.
-
Made from one of the purest and most indigenous clones of Tinta de Toro, this is a bright fresh red made naturally and without additives. Raspberry and mineral notes, super value!
-
Fresher than the Reserva but still with plenty of trademark Rioja character, Black Fruit, Cinnamon and toasty Oak. Really complex and well structured, especially for a Crianza.
-
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.
-
We tasted this gorgeous White Rioja with Manuel Gallego from Bodegas Tobia and loved it! Complex with well integrated oak, Peach and Apricot and a sublime finish. A real gem.
