    2018 Antiguas Reservas Merlot, Cousino Macul

    £1795

    Crafted from a meticulous selection of the finest estate-grown Merlot, the 2018 Antiguas Reservas Merlot represents Cousiño Macul’s unwavering dedication to heritage, precision, and age-worthy elegance. The “Antiguas Reservas” designation is reserved for wines that reflect both the estate’s rich lineage, dating back to its founding in 1856, and the highest level of varietal expression. Sourced from low-yielding vines cultivated in the Maipo Valley’s rocky, alluvial soils at the foot of the Andes, the grapes are chosen for their small clusters and concentrated flavour.

    Vinified with a focus on preserving fruit purity and structure, this Merlot undergoes careful ageing in French oak barrels to develop texture, depth, and finesse.

    In the glass, the bouquet is expressive and refined, offering aromas of ripe red berries, cherry and raspberry, layered with subtle smoky undertones and elegant notes of vanilla from barrel ageing. On the palate, it is vibrant and well-balanced, showcasing lush red fruit flavours complemented by medium-high acidity, polished tannins, and a long, persistent finish.

    Elegant yet structured, the 2018 Antiguas Reservas Merlot exemplifies Cousiño Macul’s signature style, combining New World vibrancy with Old World sophistication. Ideal for enjoying now or cellaring for further complexity.

    £1995

    Made during an exceptionally balanced year. A lifted and perfumed nose displaying complex notes of violets, blackcurrant and ripe berries.

    ‘Garage wines’ is a term used to describe wines that are produced in the back sheds of French winemakers, who make small batch wines of the highest quality. Our galvanized, corrugated ‘garage’ was built in 1927 and still houses the traditional equipment used in the handcrafting of this wine.

This cuvée, first created in 1982 as a tribute to Contessa Maria Cristina Loredan Rizzardi’s Venetian lineage, is the only red wine from the Bardolino vineyards that is aged in oak, showcasing both tradition and innovation.

    The 2022 vintage blends old-vine Corvina with Merlot and Merlot Khorus, yielding a wine of striking depth and character. Aromas of ripe red and black cherries, wild berries, and plum are interwoven with hints of spice, forest floor, and delicate oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet rich, with smooth tannins and a refined structure. The Merlot contributes plushness and colour, while the Corvina offers freshness and elegance. Ageing in oak adds complexity and a subtle, savoury finish.

    Ageing Potential: Enjoy now or cellar through 2030

    2016 Chateau Lucas

    £2200

    The area of Lussac is an up and coming satellite appellation of the renowned Saint Emilion region on the the Right Bank of Bordeaux. There is no doubt that one of Lussac’s most prized properties is Château Lucas, owned by the Vauthier family of Château Ausone fame. From just 18 hectares of vines, three cuvée are produced. The top wine, aptly called Château Lucas, is produced from a 12-hectare vineyard, comprising equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc. While so much of the Right Bank focuses on Merlot, the high percentage of Cabernet Franc brings a polished lift to the cuvée, vintage in and vintage out.

    In the glass it opens with aromatics of raspberry and blackcurrant interlaced with plum and vanilla notes.  The palate is round and balanced with flavours of earthy spices, tobacco and blackcurrants that lead into a sustained finish.

    2022 Mongrana, Querciabella

    £2395

    Mongrana is the quintessential expression of the colours, sights and sounds of the Maremma region: fruity and intense, fresh and embracing, the wine takes its name – and its character – from that of the noble family of knights depicted by the Italian Renaissance poet Ludovico Ariosto in his epic masterpiece Orlando Furioso.

    The charm of Mongrana does not take long to reveal. Well-defined aromas of ripe fruit, morello cherry, blackberry and blueberry jump out of the glass, anticipating a complex bouquet of kirsch, ivy, and pine needles, enriched by a touch of liquorice.

    On the palate, it offers a juicy, fresh sip with soft tannins. The long finale is savoury, with a mineral note that persists in the mouth.

    2021 Cabernet Franc ‘TH’, Undurraga

    £2450

    Head winemaker Rafael Urrejola has spent a great deal of time understanding the diversity of Chile’s vineyard sites; the result is the emblematic ‘Terroir Hunter’ range.

    In the glass this Cabernet Franc has an intense ruby red colour and great clarity, it expresses fresh aromas of black fruits such as blackberries, blueberries and blackcurrant mixed with floral tones such as violets. On the palate it is fresh, intense and elegant, firm tannins, with a fruity and unctuous medium palate. The finish is long and persistent.

    The Cabernet Franc grapes were sourced from a selected vineyard planted exclusively for this range in Catemito, in the Valle de Maipo. The daily temperatures during the summer are lower in this area than in the rest of the Valle de Maipo, decreasing substantially in March and April, providing the ideal conditions for the tannins to ripen completely and to ensure that the fresh aromas and flavours are preserved. Catemito is located on an alluvial terrace which was formed in the Holocene period, approximately 10,000 years ago.
