  2020 Wallace, Glaetzer

  £2500

  Wallace is made from exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. Vine ages are 50—80 years old for the Shiraz and 50—100 years old for the Grenache.

  In the glass, the wine has lifted aromas of bright red fruits with fresh spice notes of star anise and cedar.  The palate has bright red berry fruit, redcurrant and liquorice flavours that complement the soft and rounded Grenache fruit tannin and the savoury finish of Shiraz. Lovely refreshing acidity provides both lift and depth.

  Peak Drinking: A wine to enjoy in its youth that will also develop additional complexity for up to 8—10 years of cellaring.

  Wallace is an ancestral name of Colin’s wife, Judith, whose family hail from the old market town of Cupar in Fife, Scotland. Judith’s Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements of the Wallace symbol – the Celtic cross, thistle and the Celtic knot pattern.

  2023 Riesling ‘Single Vineyard McKay’s, Jim Barry

  £2500

  JThis Riesling was sourced from the McKay’s vineyard in Watervale. South or east-facing slopes are best suited for Riesling as they are shielded from the hot northerly winds that can occur during summer and also receive the cooler morning sun. The soil in the McKay’s vineyard is clay over limestone, which is free draining. The Clare valley climate is continental with a high diurnal temperature difference with clear skies. The cool nights lead to the preservation of crisp natural acidity and delicate flavours.

  The wine displays minerality on the nose, with characters of crunchy green apples and wet slate. A firm acid line drives through the palate with lime, citrus and a mineral finish. It has a lush silky flow and a calming finish.

  2020 Recioto di Soave DOCG Classico, Guerrieri Rizzardi

  £2500

  Crafted from hand-selected Garganega grapes grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Soave Classico zone, this Recioto represents the pinnacle of sweet wine tradition. The vineyard sites chosen for their age, optimal exposure, and naturally low yields produce loose, well-formed bunches ideal for the traditional appassimento (drying) method.

  After harvesting, the grapes are gently laid in drying rooms (fruttai) for several months to concentrate sugars and complexity. Fermentation is slow and careful, followed by ageing in small oak barrels, enhancing the wine’s texture and aromatic depth.

  In the glass, the 2020 Recioto di Soave shines with a golden hue, offering a luxurious nose of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and honeycomb. On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity that lifts the richness and creates a long, harmonious finish. Notes of candied apricot, orange zest, and almond linger, underpinned by a crisp structure and elegant freshness.

  Pair with: A classic match for almond tarts, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, or simply enjoy it on its own as a luxurious after-dinner wine.
  Ageing potential: 10+ years if properly cellared.

  2021 Laissez Faire Riesling, Larry Cherubino

  £2550

  The 2021 Laissez-Faire Riesling from Larry Cherubino is a truly delicious example of Riesling wine. This is a completely dry white wine with spectacular intensity and a bouquet reminiscent of red apple and white peach with minerally notes in the background.  White stone fruit flavours are persistent on the pallet, there is a subtle texture with tight knot acidity lingering in the background which provides length and persistence.

  Laissez-Faire means “let it be” and this reflects the hands-off approach that winemaker Larry Cherubino employs.  He has learnt from organics, bio-dynamics and natural wine practices, but is not dictated by one school of thought. Larrys says ‘ We don’t subscribe to dogma. You could call them natural wines, but we like to think of them as post-natural wines.  We believe in healthy and sustainable vineyard practices and winemaking transparency with as little as possible between the vine and finished wine‘

  In the Laissez-Faire wines, there’s no added tannin, or acid, or animal fining products. There is zero sulfur used throughout the winemaking and only a minimal amount at bottling. They are using alternate varieties and blends to make naturally balanced wines.   From vine to bottle, the wine takes its course, hands-free.  The wines are also vegan friendly.

  2020 Marmajuelo, Bodegas Vinatigo

  £2595

  The Marmajuelo’s grape origin is still shrouded in mystery. Ever since winemaker Juan Jesus discovered a few vines in the late 1990s on the island of El Hierro, he has been completely in love with the variety and under his direction Bodegas Vinatigo has replanted it in the north-west of Tenerife. 25 hectares exist in the entire world, scattered across tiny plots in Tenerife and El Hierro, where the vineyards perch over the ocean and benefit from its cooling breezes.

  The maritime freshness of these locations translates beautifully into the wine, with vibrant, saline acidity to complement the tropical aromas of passion fruit, pineapple and banana leaves. Textured, fresh and so persistent; a perfect wine to pair with seafood and fresh fish.
