  2019 Botrytis Semillon Reserve, Berton Vineyard, 375ml

  £1495 Original price was: £1495.£1195Current price is: £1195. 20% saving

  A luscious wine with intense and layered aromas of orange rind, apricot and honey. The vibrant palate delights with notes of apricot and almond biscotti which carry through to a beautifully balanced finish enhanced by toasted notes and subtle spice.

  The Griffith area of Riverina is internationally renowned for producing some of the best Botrytis affected wines. The fruit is left on the vine for a significantly longer time than other Semillon to encourage the growth of Botrytis, which desiccates the skin allowing the moisture to evaporate.

  2023 “Exis” Red, Manolesakis Estate

  £1575 Original price was: £1575.£1250Current price is: £1250. 21% saving

  This blend of Limnio and Moschomavro shows a complex bouquet, with gooseberry and blueberry from the Moschomavro grapes; and cherry, plum with hints of clove and cinnamon from the Limnio. Velvety smooth on the palate with a fresh and elegant finish.

  This wine is a blend of two indigenous varieties: Limnio, which produces full bodied wines, with a relatively high alcohol content and a distinctive herbal character of bay leaves; and Moschomavro which produces fresh wines, with noticeable acidity, soft tannins and aromas redolent of ripe red fruit, grapes and cloves. The vineyard is located in Drama, where the microclimate has been considered the perfect spot for grape cultivation since ancient times. Situated at an altitude of 200 to 300 metres above sea level, the vines are cultivated in the traditional way and are planted in linear rows. The soil has a high clay content, which retains moisture during the warm, dry summers to nourish the vines.

  2023 “Exis” White, Manolesakis Estate

  £1550 Original price was: £1550.£1295Current price is: £1295. 16% saving

  This enticing blend of two Greek varieties delivers dynamic aromatic fruit characters, fused with a hint of orange blossom and tropical notes of melon, peach, pineapple and apricot. Smooth and creamy on the palate with a refreshing and beautifully balanced acidity through to an aromatic finish.

The vines are grown in mostly clayish and argil soils, which have excellent water retention properties, nourishing the vines through the heat of the summer. With every new vintage, the quality of the fruit increases.

  2020 Primitivo di Puglia, A Mano

  £1325

  This wine is deep red in colour. On the nose, there are intense aromas of ripe dark fruit, especially blackberries and cherries, with spicy notes of cocoa, lavender and liquorice. On the palate, it is youthful and full-bodied, with a great concentration of ripe, rounded fruit. It is a very elegant, fresh and complex Primitivo.

  The grapes for this wine come from vineyards in the heart of the Primitivo growing region, located in the low hills east of Taranto in Puglia. The region is an old sea bed, full of fossils of clams, oysters and urchins. The altitude is approximately 20 metres above sea level and annual rainfall is 35 centimetres. The climate is classically Mediterranean as Puglia is a peninsula between the Adriatic and the Ionian seas. The Primitivo vines are quite old; most are the original plantings after phylloxera and range from 70 to 100 years old. As with most vineyards planted at that time they are small bush vines called ‘alberello’ which are non-irrigated and low yielding. The average Primitivo vineyard is quite small, less than half a hectare and the best sites have a crumbly, dark reddish-brown soil that resembles instant coffee.

  2020 Limited Release Mourvedre, Swartland Winery

  £1450

  Small berries big taste! The Swartland wine region of the Western Cape encompasses a uniquely diverse topographic area, with a myriad of microclimates, soils and sites which give rise to wines of full flavour and complexity.  Swartland Winery produces premium single varietal wines from the characterful bush vines grown in the heart of the Swartland, yielding wines of distinctive depth and concentration.

  This 2020 Limited Release Mouvedre has benefited from a few years in bottle to give an intensely coloured wine with a perfumed nose of mocha, chocolate and dark berry flavours, which follow through onto the palate.  Complemented by spicy undertones and soft mouthfeel that lingers on the palate, this is an excellent interpretation of the classic Rhone grape and a bargain to boot!

  Interesting Fact: The Swartland name originates from a description of the indigenous “renosterbos” or rhino bush, which appears to turn black, (“Swart” in Afrikaans), during the summer months.

• Offer Dessert Wine, Mead

  Pure Mead, Loxwood Meadworks

  £1950 Original price was: £1950.£1450Current price is: £1450. 26% saving

  Pure Mead is crisp, refreshing and delicately sweet mead, served chilled and enjoyed like a white wine.

  Just as wine is made from grapes, mead is made from honey; however, unlike many other meads you may have tried before, the Loxwood Pure Mead is created using a unique blend of 100% British honey in the ferment – the process that makes the alcohol. It is fermented dry and then back-sweetened with honey, to give the most natural flavour and a delicate sweetness.

  In the glass it has a deep golden colour with honey-citrus aromas. Deliciously off-dry this honey wine has an elegant minerality and crisp zesty flavours which complement the rich, creamy, textured finish.

  Pure Mead is a great pairing with a cheeseboard, slow-roasted pork or ham – think anything you might have honey with! If you would serve a rich or sweeter white wine like a Riesling, try Pure Mead instead.

  2020 ‘The Black’ Shiraz ‘Winemakers Reserve’, Berton Vineyard

  £1495

  The Winemakers Reserve Black Shiraz is a multi-award winning wine and an outstanding example of Australian Shiraz with deep colour and aromas of blackberry and plum over toasty coffee and spicy oak. The palate is full-flavoured and intense with rich plum, blueberry and mocha notes. The tannins are ripe and dense imparting great structure and length to the palate.

  Predominantly sourced from the vineyards in Padthaway, South Australia, where the soils are sandy loam over clay, formed on old lagoon sediments. These sandy soils lead to poor nutrient and water retention which helps to concentrate the flavours in the fruit. The vines are grown on single wire trellises, ensuring an open canopy. Drip irrigation is used in the vineyards to manage the water supply and reduce evaporation, as water is applied directly above the roots. The fruit was harvested during the cooler nights to retain freshness.

  2019 Jacquère ‘La Côte’, Domaine Vendange

  £1495

  Wonderful aromatic complexity is highlighted by fresh fruit notes of peach and lime with a delicate honeysuckle character. The light, lemony palate has distinctive minerality and a lovely refreshing finish. Drink now to 2023.

  Rivesaltes ‘Tuilé’, Hors d’âge, Dom Brial

  £2095 Original price was: £2095.£1750Current price is: £1750. 16% saving

  Brick-red in colour, with delicious aromas of ripe red berries, tobacco and stewed prunes, enveloping a voluptuous palate with refined sweetness and wonderful balance.  The wine was aged in old, used French oak barrels for five years- the length of time required for an ‘hors d’âge’ wine.

  The Rivesaltes AOC is flanked by the Mediterranean Sea to the east and surrounded by mountain ranges with the Pyrenees to the west, and the Albères to the south. In geological terms, the appellation endured enormous upheavals in the tertiary and quaternary periods, which created a complex variety of soils, subsoils and a multitude of terroirs. The terroir ranges from the Quaternary Terraces with red pebbles resting on shallow soils, on a clay subsoil with low water reserves which is where the Grenache Noir vines are planted- the variety used to produce the Rivesaltes Tuilé cuvée.

  This is the 4th vintage of this exceptionally popular English Chardonnay, which has bowled over critics and wine lovers alike.  Made from exclusively estate-grown grapes, the Gravel Castle Chardonnay is a zesty, fruit-driven and unoaked Chardonnay, created from Burgundian still wine clones.  It displays fresh, citrus aromas, refreshing tropical fruit flavours and a smooth, textured palate.

The grapes come from the Roman Road vineyard, named after the route the Romans first marched when invading England in AD 43.  They are grown on south-facing slopes, ensuring heat accumulation in the day and cold air drainage at night. The vineyard is less than eight miles from the coast, providing a crucial maritime influence insulating the fruit against intense temperature variations.
