  2016 Petit Védrines Sauternes, Chateau Doisy Védrines – Half Bottle

  £1495

  Sauternes is the world’s most celebrated dessert wine and Doisy Védrines is one of the best. Despite lying next door to Premiers Crus Châteaux Climens and Coutet, it remains under the radar. This is their magnificent, affordable second wine.

  Golden in colour, the nose shows caramelised citrus, orange marmalade and honeysuckle. Sweet, but not cloying, there are lovely botrytis flavours intermingled with orange and lime peel and fresh citrus acidity on the generous finish.

  £1695

  Circa 77 wines are Xanadu’s excellent value, everyday drinking wines that are named after the wineries’ inception in 1977.  Circa 77 demonstrates not just the lifestyle and natural beauty of Margaret River, but just how special the combination of our pristine maritime climate and ancient soils are in producing wines of vibrancy and personality.

  In the glass this classic Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon exhibits a vibrant bouquet of passionfruit and fresh lime characters, with and hints of dried herbs and floral notes in the background. Medium-bodied, the zesty palate offers freshly squeezed citrus flavours combined with tropical fruits and a touch of spice. An easy-drinking ‘Classic’ Margaret River wine style with wonderful purity – crunchy, fruit-driven, lip-smacking dry with crisp acidity and a clean refreshing finish.

  2017 Smuggler’s Boot Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Kershaw

  £2100

  In 2014, The Smuggler’s Boot wines were first released. The name derives from the time of trade embargoes in South Africa when growers & winemakers smuggled grapevine material into the country by hiding the cuttings in Wellington boots. The Smuggler’s Boot range celebrates that ingenuity.

  This 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon is a classic white Bordeaux-style wine.   Light lotus yellow-green in colour, the nose has pristine aromas of elderflower, lemon and mandarin segments. A clean, seamless palate with vibrant fruit definition balanced with a taut natural acidity, this linear structured wine unfurls to lime, rose and pear softened by a creamy texture and lingers long after the first sip.

  Its fresh, citrus profile and mineral texture make it perfect with seafood dishes, fish and spring vegetables. Winemaker Richard enjoys it with tuna sashimi with a delicate lime and ginger or Asian dipping sauce.  Oysters; asparagus and peas in a pasta primavera work well or goats cheese, white asparagus and chorizo (lightly spiced) pizza. Alternatively, a ‘posh’ fie pie or poached salmon with peas and frothy hollandaise, Cod and chips, or beer-battered haddock. For meat lovers, Gammon on the bone with broad beans in a parsley sauce. A light Thai green curry with pork or chicken (but go easy on the curry spice).

  2019 ‘Blanco de la Casa’, Matias Riccitelli

  £2495

  Complex aromas of green apple, hay and herbaceous notes are underpinned by remarkable minerality. Textured and full flavoured with wonderful fluency and rich energy on the finish.

  Each component of the blend comes from carefully selected, high altitude, cool climate sites which produce grapes with aromatic complexity and beautiful freshness. The Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is located in the premium viticultural region of Gualtallary, where the vines are planted in calcareous soils at 1,400 metres above sea level. The Semillon grapes come from a low-yielding 50-year-old vineyard in La Consulta, where the vines grow at 1,000 metres elevation in sandy soils and produce rich, concentrated wines. The Chardonnay component comes from La Carrera which is located at 1,700 metres above sea level in sandy soils which are supported by gravel and boulder.
