  2013 Anjou Blanc Côteaux des Treilles, Pithon-Paillé

  £5500

  Sommelier Wine Awards 2019 Gold

  This is real WOW wine and if your a Chenin Blanc fan then one sip and you will fall in love.  It displays a breathtaking tension between the tangy acidity of the latitude, bright ‘mineralité’ of the site and luscious honeyed ripeness with fabulous complexity from its magnificent steep, southerly aspect.

  This wine represents the tête de cuvée (top of the range) of Pithon-Paillé. The Coteau des Treilles vineyard located in Beaulieu-sur-Layon was abandoned after World War Two as it became to difficult to farm by tractor, which became all the rage in the post-war period. Seeing the potential of this great vineyard, the family purchased all 70 parcels from 25 different owners over the course of 3 1/2 years eventually achieving a monopole of this great Anjou site.

  2020 Coltassala Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, Castello di Volpaia

  £6695

  Perched amid the rugged hills of Radda in Chianti, Castello di Volpaia is a benchmark Tuscan estate with roots stretching back to the 11th century. Since the 1970s, it has been meticulously restored and revitalised by the Mascheroni Stianti family, who transformed the medieval village into a model of organic winemaking excellence. Today, the estate is renowned for producing some of the region’s most elegant and terroir-driven wines thanks partly to its high-altitude vineyards (up to 600 metres), certified organic farming, and a thoughtful balance of tradition and innovation.

  The 2020 Coltassala Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is the estate’s flagship wine, sourced from a historic single vineyard once part of a centuries-old farmstead. Originally produced as a Super Tuscan in the 1980s, Coltassala now represents the pinnacle of Chianti Classico as a Gran Selezione, the appellation’s highest classification. Made from predominantly Sangiovese with a touch of Mammolo, this wine undergoes extended ageing in French oak barriques, delivering structure and refinement.

  In the glass, the 2020 Coltassala shows a vibrant ruby hue with a deeply expressive nose of wild cherry, black plum, and violet, layered with hints of sweet spice, cedar, and fine tobacco. The palate is rich and textured, with a core of ripe red and black fruit balanced by firm yet polished tannins, and underpinned by the signature fresh acidity of Radda’s elevated terroir. The finish is long, savoury, and nuanced, echoing with notes of balsamic herbs and graphite.

  The 2020 vintage delivers power and poise, making this a Gran Selezione that is beautifully drinkable now but structured for long-term ageing. A perfect match for bistecca alla fiorentina, braised meats, or truffle risotto, this wine exemplifies the sophistication and soul of modern Chianti Classico.

  2005 & 2006 Hill of Grace Shiraz Museum Release Presentation Box, Henschke

  £1,29500

  From a tiny four-hectare site in South Australia’s Eden Valley, overlooked by the spire of the historic Gnadenberg church, the Henschke family’s single-vineyard, low-yielding ancestor vine shiraz has quietly carved out a name alongside the great single vineyard wines of the world.

  The 2005 and 2006 Henschke Hill of Grace, both rated by Stephen and Prue Henschke as exceptional vintages, have been kept aside in the family cellars in perfect cellaring conditions for collectors of back-vintage wines. They tell the story of a unique single vineyard, two distinct seasons and a family of winemakers.  Both are drinking beautifully now but will age for a further 25 years.

  This release is to compensate for their decision not to release a 2011 Hill of Grace wine owing to unsatisfactory vintage conditions. Johann explains: “I think you just do get some of those vintages every now and again, and rather than have nothing, we prefer to offer something to people who have been supporting us for a long time – restaurants and collectors who are really keen on the Hill of Grace story…So that’s why we went back into our cellar stock and found some extra bottles to release. It’s a really lovely box, which is specially designed for these two wines.”

  The wines have guaranteed authenticity and provenance and will be available in a collector’s box with a booklet of stories, history, tasting notes, and technical information. The foreword has been written by James Halliday, in which he lifted the score of the 2006 Hill of Grace from 97 to 98 points after another look at the wines this year. 2005 remained at 96 points.
