A wonderful example of the Fiano grape. Close your eyes and you could be in Southern Italy! (almost). 

Straw yellow in colour, with an elegant floral aroma of mango, peaches and sage. On the palate is crisp and refreshing, with tropical notes and exotic fruit.  The finish is incredibly well balanced, long and persistent.

Country: Italy

Region: Puglia

ABV: 12.5 %

One of the hidden secrets of the wine world - Gruner Veltliner. A must try if you haven't before.

Food Match: Fish and chips on a Friday or roast chicken and potatoes on a Sunday!

Straw yellow in colour with an elegant bouquet, reminiscent of pineapples and lemons. The palate shows hints of tropical fruit with a beautifully crisp acidity and a persistent finish. Only the best, handpicked, organically grown grapes are used to make this wine!

Country: Italy

Region: Sicily

Grapes: Grillo, Chardonnay

ABV: 12%

Zingy and refreshing white from Cotes de Gascogne in France.

Plenty of ripe, green fruit aromas and flavours such as lime and crisp apples, with a zingy mouthfeel and a clean finish.

Country: France

Region: Cotes de Gascogne

ABV: 12.5%

Grapes: 75% Colombard, 25% Ugni Blanc.

Colombard produces a light, refreshing, yet simple, white wine with medium body and high acidity. It is the grape used to produce Cognac, though there are many still versions of the wine that feature its easy, crisp array of citrus flavours.

Guaranteed summer drinking pleasure! Redcurrant, strawberry and raspberry notes with a hint of sweetness on the finish. Seriously lovely stuff!

Country: Italy

Region: Puglia

ABV: 12 %

Grapes: Primitivo, Negroamaro

Rich, intense and packed with dark red fruits. With morello cherry and a touch of sweet spice on the nose, ripe berry, liquorice, chocolate, summer pudding and a hint of cinnamon spice on the palate, this wine is full flavoured and smooth with supple tannins. Brilliant! Perfect for Chateauneuf lovers.

Country: France

Region: Rhone Valley

Grapes: Grenache Noir, Syrah, Carignan

ABV: 14%

This wine has a natural affinity with herby lamb dishes, but would be superb with most grilled meats and roasted vegetables.

Fresh, crisp and clean with a hint of ripe raspberries, citrus and red cherries. A delicate pink colour. A delicious Chiaretto from the heart of Piemonte - sure to give adamant French pink wine lovers a compelling alternative.

Country: Italy

Region: Piedmonte, Monferrato

Grapes: Barbera, Pinot Noir

ABV: 12%

Chilean Merlot has become a byword for value and quality. This cracking example is the perfect easy-drinking example.

This is simply an outstanding wine for the money. Soft, super-­juicy, ripe, plummy fruit and a long flavoured finish with spicy flavours of plum and cherries.

Country: Chile

Region: Central Valley

ABV: 13%

Grapes:  Merlot

This easy drinking wine comes from Chile's renowned Valle Central region, where long, hot days are followed by cool nights. This temperature difference ensures the grapes ripen slowly, so they develop maximum flavour

Argentina's famous Malbec, blended with the lesser known Bonarda grape variety, giving this wine a delightful twist of individuality compared to other Malbec wines.

Dark, damson and savoury overtones on the palate with a smoothly rounded finish – a delightful expression of a huge, brambly Malbec

Country: Argentina

Region: Mendoza

ABV: 13.5%

Grapes: 60% Malbec 40% Bonarda

Malbec needs no introduction, and has become as closely associated with Argentinian wine as Pepperoni is to Pizza! - well in my mind (and stomach) it is……! Bonarda on the other hand is a lesser known ‘ingredient’ of Argentina’s wines. More often thought of as a grape variety originating in the Piemonte region of Italy, however arguments abound about whether this grape variety in Argentina is actually the same as the Italian one. Who cares, unless you are studying for a doctorate in Ampelography (the study of grape vine identification). All we care about is that it makes delicious wines and when combined with Malbec it offers a uniquely Argentine experience.

Inviting creamy nose with aromas of orange zest, fresh meadows and apples. Lively palate with flavours of citrus and quince. An incredibly charming and funky wine.

Country: Austria

Region: Niederosterreich

Grapes: Gruner Veltliner

ABV: 12.5%

Deep ruby colour. On the nose shows spice notes typical of Moreto, like clove, nutmeg, liquorice, and also some ripe cherry and strawberry notes. On the palate it is dry, fruity, spicy and easy to drink. Offers a surprising complexity of flavours and a long finish for the price!

Country: Portugal

Region: Alentejo

Grapes: Moreto, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet

ABV: 14%

Granja Amareleja vineyards are located in the left bank of Guadiana River, where the soils are sandy and the temperatures the highest in Alentejo reaching >40C. Moreto grape variety is the ex-libris of the viticulture here, where it continues to be cultivated, mostly, ungrafted (“Pé-Franco”). Perhaps for this reason its wines are so aromatic, balanced and distinct.

A full bodied Zinfandel, packed with damson fruit flavours with a twist of black pepper.

Wonderfully balanced with a persistent finish

Country: USA

Region: California

ABV: 14%

Grapes:  100% Zinfandel

Food Match:  Homemade burger or spicy sausage casserole

In the vineyard:  The grapes are selected from old vine Zinfandel vineyards in the Lodi region of central California. Vinified in stainless steel tanks and a little oak ageing, it’s an intensely satisfying wine. 

Very few places are capable of making high quality Pinot Noir. This one is exceptional.

With four generations of the same family making fine Chablis wines, you are sure to enjoy an authentic, high quality and delicious wine from this domaine.

Delicate and softly perfumed aromas of citrus tree blossom and fresh cut green apple. Tight, mineral and zippy flavours, with that lovely richness of mouthfeel only found with great quality Chablis.

Country: France

Region: Chablis

ABV: 12.5%

Grapes:  Chardonnay

Domaine Besson makes a Chablis style that is a little more accessible than some other domaines. These wines therefore can be enjoyed from an early age, unlike some Chablis where to get the best from the wine it is necessary to cellar the wine to allow it to develop. 

Ripe, rich and complex red. Intense ruby-red, with a bouquet reminiscent of cherry, dried fruit, chocolate and prune; the palate is full-bodied, soft and round, with a  toasted spice and lingering finish.

Country: Italy

Region: Puglia

ABV: 14.5%

A vibrant red wine with aromas of dark cherry, rich red forest fruits and floral notes of lavender and violet. The palate has hints of white truffle, hazelnut, and warm spices with glimpses of anise and clove, rounded off with herbaceous undertones. The finish is gripping, velvety and lingering.

Country: Lebanon

Region: Mount Lebanon and Bekaa Valley

A deep dense blockbuster from 40+ year old vines. 

This Malbec is possibly even juicier, fresher and tastier still!. Bright on the nose with ripe blackberry plum fruit and sweet spice. The palate is silky and warming with more black fruit and cherries. The wine is vibrant with an alluring blend of fruit along with clove, pepper and cinnamon spice finished off with well-structured integrated tannins. A great wine with structure balance and elegance.

Country: France

Region: Gascony

ABV: 12%

Grapes:  40% Tannat, 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc

Vinified from the local Tannat grape variety with some Cabernet Franc and Merlot, harvested fully ripe in October. In the winery the secret of modern rosé vinification is to capture all the delicate aromatics and flavours of red grape varieties but then to cool vinify the pale-coloured juice with all the expertise of white wine vinification.
