  NV ‘Collezione Cinquanta’, San Marzano

  £2595

  A generous blend of equal parts Negroamaro & Primitivo, the powerhouse grapes of Puglia.  This beauty is a fleshy wine with dark berried fruit layered with chocolate and hints of spice. Smooth with great purity of fruit through to a long sustained finish. Quite delicious.

The temperatures are relatively high over the summer, which encourages the berries to ripen evenly. The soil is predominantly clay with some rocks, which help drainage. The vines are old, gnarly bush vines that are over 50 years old and are planted at a density of 4,500 vines per hectare. The Primitivo is grown in the highly reputed area of Manduria, locally regarded as the best in Puglia. The harvest takes place in September when the grapes are slightly overripe.

  2023 ‘Rabbit Hole’ Pinot Noir Simpsons Wine Estate

  £2595

  This is the third vintage of the Rabbit Hole Pinot Noir, it is a light and expressive Kentish red wine that has gained a cult following over the previous two vintages and swiftly sells out.  The 2020 vintage proved to be excellent for Pinot Noir and this latest release will both delight devotees and win over new fans.

  Exuding a true sense of place, this single-vineyard, still Pinot Noir is created from fruit specifically selected for its maturity and concentration. This purple-hued wine displays dark cherry and smoky oak aromas, with hints of mocha. The elegant tannins are complemented by tangy, black fruit flavours and undertones of freshly ground coffee.

  Simpsons Wine Estate is situated in the Elham Valley; an unspoilt seam in the North Downs of Kent where the contours of the land, the climate and the soil are excellent for viticulture. The intensely lime-rich chalk soil forms part of the same chalk ridge that stretches from southern England through Champagne and on to Burgundy. 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.

  2022 Laissez Faire Pinot Noir, Larry Cherubino

  £2650

  Earthy beetroot, red cherry and red/flowery fruit bouquet are supported by spicy oak aromas. The palate follows suit with beetroot, cherry and flowery/red fruit, fine tannins and a soft texture

  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.
