  • The Explore 4 ‘Sauvignon Blanc’Mixed Cases, White Wine

    The Explore 4 ‘Sauvignon Blanc’

    £9340

    Each Explore 4 case tackles a new theme: This one is a selection of Sauvignon Blanc that won’t break the bank.

    Sauvignon is the most popular white wine in the UK and for good reason, it’s easy to drink and you know what you are getting.

    But there is another more adventurous side to Sauvignon Blanc, the one where winemakers push the envelope in terms of vineyard locations, the use of oak and wild yeasts. These are the ones we focus on with this selection.

    Here’s what’s in the case:

    2021 Outer Limits Sauvignon Blanc, Montes, Aconcagua Valley, Chile

    The Outer Limits wines were born out of Aurelio Montes’ desire to push Chilean viticulture in a new direction. The 45 hectare Zapallar Vineyard in the Aconcagua Valley was Montes’ first venture into the ‘outer limits’. Due to the balance and concentration in the Outer Limits wines, they can be enjoyed now or allowed to age for a few years, rewarding with a wonderfully complex bouquet.

    2020 ‘Summer’ Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc, Harry Hartman, Western Cape, South Africa

    his knockout wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc from Harry Hartman Wines is made from fruit picked in the premium regions of Elgin and Bot River. Elgin fruit has a higher level of acidity adding to the more citrus notes and making the wine more linear. Botrivier fruit is more rounded, with bigger tropical notes.

    2019 Taihoa Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Astrolabe, Marlborough, New Zealand

    This is a unique New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, the fruit for this wine is grown by Paddy and Anna Trolove at Taihoa Vineyard on Marlborough’s southern Kēkerengū coast. It is an outlier, both geographically and in a winemaking sense, to the typical sauvignon blanc wines of Marlborough; it is all about complexity, texture and age-worthiness.

    2019 Sancerre Cuvee Silex, Domaine Serge Laloue, Loire, France

    Serge Laloue has always been one of our favourite winemakers in the Loire, making incredible Sancerre. This we think is their finest Cuvee, crafted by Franck Laloue the Sancerre Silex has intense aromas of smoky graphite with mineral notes of oyster shell that are complemented by zesty orange peel and Mirabelle plum. This fresh, supple cuvée delivers concentrated citrus flavours through to a bright and uplifting mineral finish.

  • The Explore 4 ‘Pinot Noir’Mixed Cases, Red Wine

    The Explore 4 ‘Pinot Noir’

    £11185

    Each Explore 4 case tackles a new theme: This one is a selection of Pinot Noirs that won’t break the bank.

    Everyone loves Pinot Noir: It’s aromatic, supple, brightly fruited, and versatile. But, most of the time, it is also expensive. Here are some Pinot Noir bargains that are firm favourites with us because of their diversity and drinkability.

    Pinot noir is widely planted and appears in nearly all winegrowing regions of the world, and given the grape varieties’ preference for cooler climates and poorer soils, we leaned toward lesser-known regions in both Hemispheres with those characteristics.

    Here’s what’s in the case:

    2020 Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir, Larry Cherubino, Great Southern, Western Australia

    This gorgeous Pinot Noir from Larry Cherubino is made with fruit from the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The nose shows graphite and minerals, juicy black cherries with a hint of spicy oak plays a supporting role. The palate is softly textured, fresh and vibrant, the flavours of black cherry and earthy beetroot carried along by a fine acid finish.

    2017 Pinot Noir ‘Eggo Filoso’, Zorzal, Gualtallary, Uco Valley, Argentina

    Zorzal is an Argentinian boutique winery that is located at the highest point of the Uco Valley. Hailed as one of the most exclusive and well-regarded areas for viticulture in Argentina, the terroir is revealed in the Zorzal wines through a respectful, non-invasive winemaking process that puts austerity before exuberance and fruit before wood.

    2018 South Coast Pinot Noir, Lismore, Greyton, Western Cape, South Africa

    Californian Samantha O’Keefe has found paradise and the perfect terroir. Tucked into the foothills of a dramatic mountain range at the bottom of Africa, Lismore Estate Vineyards was born alongside her nascent family. A passionate vision, combined with vines planted at 300 metres, which are chilled by winter snow and nourished by the African summer sun, produces classic, cool climate wines which are rich, complex and lovingly hand-crafted. This 2018 is an elegant Pinot Noir delivering a complex bouquet of crushed rose petals, wild jasmine and fresh French herbs. The palate shows beautiful purity with layered red fruits, cranberry, raspberry, silky tannins and a long, savoury finish.

    2018 Givry 1er Cru Rouge L’Empreinte, Domaine Joblot, Burgundy, France

    One of the greatest producers in Southern Burgundy, the Joblot family has been producing fine wines for over four generations. These sought after wines have limited availability. L’Empreinte means ‘Footprint’ in French and this cuvée is the result of the best parcels of Domaine Joblot’s four Givry 1er Cru vineyards: Clos Maroles, Clos Du Cellier Aux Moines , Bois Chevaux and clos de la Servoisine.

  • The Somm 6Mixed Cases, Red Wine, White Wine

    The Somm 6

    £16500

    We taste between 50 – 100 wines a month either re-tasting wines we currently stock or tasting new wines in search of worthy additions to the shop and/or restaurant.  From these tastings, only 6 wines are chosen for the Somm 6  and the criteria?  That they be the wines we want to take home ourselves.

    “The Somm 6” is for wine lovers who are searching for variety and new wine experiences as well as anyone who appreciates authenticity and value.

    We have created a diverse selection of artisanal wines with detailed information on each bottle.

    Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a fellow wine lover, here’s what’s in the Somm 6:

    2018 Givry 1er Cru Rouge L’Empreinte, Domaine Joblot, Burgundy, France:  One of the greatest producers in Southern Burgundy, the Joblot family has been producing fine wines for over four generations. These sought after wines have limited availability.  L’Empreinte means ‘Footprint’ in French and this cuvée is the result of the best parcels of Domaine Joblot’s four Givry 1er Cru vineyards: Clos Maroles, Clos Du Cellier Aux Moines , Bois Chevaux and clos de la Servoisine.

    2019 Coracle, Harry Hartman, Stellenbosch, South Africa:  Harry Hartmans’ flagship wine, Coracle is a classic Bordeaux style blend and we are delighted to be among the first to list these fabulous wines in the UK.  Made in tiny quantities these wines are going to be highly sought after very quickly!   Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from selected Stellenbosch vineyards.  This is a powerhouse of a wine, the 4 grape varieties are united in an intriguing and authoritative wine that casts a net of attractive aromas to reel you in. Its hedonistic charm of plum, mulberry, cassis, and blackberry is underpinned with masculine notes of English leather, cedar, tobacco, truffle, and cured meat.   The palate is delicious and mouth-filling.

    2018 Middle of Everywhere Shiraz, Larry Cherubino, Frankland River, Great Southern, Western Australia: Larry Cherubino is a truly great winemaker and one of our wine heroes here at Wine Republic. Larry and his wife Edwina started Cherubino wines in their spare bedroom in 2005 after buying a small parcel of land in Frankland river in 2004. They released one wine! A lot has happened since. The range has grown, and along the way, critical acclaim has flowed, particularly noteworthy is being honoured as the Winery Of The Year by respected wine critics such as James Halliday.   Expect aromas of red earth, ground black spice and dark berries that lead to a palate of fine, silky tannins. Juicy fruit flavours of blueberry and dark cherry combine with undertones of spice.

    2018 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc, Lismore, Greyton, South Africa: Lismore Estate is based in Greyton within the Overberg region of the Western Cape of South Africa.  It’s here with the Sonderend mountains as a backdrop that winemaker & proprietor Samantha O’Keefe makes her fabulous wines.  We love barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc at Wine Republic and this beauty is made in an “oxidative” style using old 500-litre barrels for 70% of the fermentation and maturation bringing forward richness, intense fruit and complexity. 30% of the wine is fermented and aged in 1500-litre concrete egg tanks to enhance the rich palate texture and minerality. In both the barrels and the eggs, extended less contact contributes further to the rounder mouthfeel and creaminess of this elegantly textured wine.

    2020 Painter of Light Chardonnay, Blackbook Winery, England:  New limited edition wine from the urban winery Blackbook, based under a railway arch in Battersea, South London. Grapes are sourced the single Clay Hill Vineyard in Essex and harvested in mid-October. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented in Burgundy barrels with the grapes’ indigenous yeast is a low intervention and characterful method of winemaking. 20% is new oak, the rest old. The wine is finally aged for 11 months prior to bottling. The result is an aromatic white wine with citrus, honeydew melon and stone fruits over hints of ginger and almond. Peach, zippy lime and a smoky, flinty finish make up a palate that’s both intense and refreshing. A real testament to quality English winemaking.

    2015 Wigan Riesling, Peter Lehmann, Eden Valley, South Australia:  From the shallow rocky soils of the Eden Valley, the Wigan Riesling has become one of Australia’s most celebrated wines.
    Named after its winemaker, Andrew Wigan who until his recent retirement had a hand in every Peter Lehman vintage from its first in 1980, it is only released after 5 years from vintage to capture the wine’s full potential.
    Andrew ‘Wigs’ Wigan revolutionised white winemaking and championed the Riesling grape and his eponymous wine has been named IWSC ‘Best Riesling in the World’ six times and accumulated more than 80 trophies since its inaugural vintage.
