  2018 Peninsula Shiraz, Paringa Estate

  £2800

  This is fabulous cool climate shiraz, that is achingly drinkable and great value for money.   The Peninsula label represents the first tier in the Paringa Estate range and are sourced from the Estate managed vineyards in Red Hill, and from a few other carefully selected vineyards around the Peninsula. These wines are an exceptional expression of the Mornington Peninsula style, with an emphasis on lively fruit.

  In recent years Paringa has renewed its focus in ensuring the Peninsula range over-delivers on quality and we love the quote from the great James Halliday: “The quality of these wines are often equal to many other vineyards best”

  In the glass, a bouquet of spicy blackberry fruit along with lifted floral viognier aromatics lead onto a fruit-driven palate of black fruits, black pepper and fine-grained tannins and silky texture.  A medium-bodied wine with texture and power but with a fineness that reflects its cool climate origin.

  2021 Single Vineyard Pinot Noir, Auntsfield

  £2850

  The 2021 Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Auntsfield Estate is a striking testament to Marlborough’s oldest winemaking heritage, rooted in the region’s first vineyard and winery, established in 1892. Today, the Cowley family continues this legacy with precision and passion, cultivating grapes on the ancient Greywacke rock and Loess clay soils of their Southern Valleys estate. These soils impart a distinctive structure and minerality that define the character of Auntsfield’s wines, and nowhere is this more evident than in their Pinot Noir.

  In the glass, the 2021 Pinot Noir reveals a deep ruby hue, a prelude to its aromatic intensity and layered complexity. Fragrant notes of black cherry and ripe plum rise gracefully, lifted by dark red florals and enriched with hints of forest floor, dark chocolate, and subtle cigar box. The palate delivers an elegant yet powerful expression of the vintage, with concentrated berry and plum fruit unfolding across a plush, silky texture. Finely polished tannins provide structure and balance, carrying the wine through to a seamless, enduring finish.

  2020 Chianti Classico Organic, Querciabella

  £2895

  Querciabella Chianti Classico has been the centrepiece of Querciabella’s winemaking operations since the winery’s debut. Consistently ranking at the highest levels of critical acclaim it’s a real delight for wine and food enthusiasts all over the world.

  A beautiful balancing act of crisp, inviting acidity, pure varietal fruit flavour and character, Querciabella Chianti Classico represents the pinnacle of high-altitude, perfectly exposed Sangiovese fruit.  Its complexity and consistency derive from sourcing the grapes from top sites across the Classico region.

  Each vineyard is cared for on a lot by lot basis to respect the essence of each site. The same focus and precision in the cellar, allow for natural winemaking with minimal intervention, that preserves the purity of the fruit. After about 14 months in fine-grained oak barrels, and regular racking, only the best lots make it to the final blend. Once bottled, the wine rests patiently for a few more months before release. This patient maturation adds a layer of softness and enhances the varietal fruit notes typical of quality Sangiovese.

  Sangiovese practically screams for anything with tomato sauce and the natural pairing with Tuscan regional food is, of course, Pappa al Pomodoro. A heartier option is to pair this full-bodied wine with a dish that can stand up to its great structure and complexity like Spaghetti Bolognese.

  2019 Les Allées de Cantemerle, Château Cantemerle

  £2900

  A traditional and deeply coloured Bordeaux, with a delicate, elegant bouquet of blackcurrant and tobacco through to a smooth, silky palate with a touch of raspberry on the finish.  This second wine of Château Cantemerle comes mainly from the Château’s young vines and is produced in the same way as its elder brother. Les Allées de Cantemerle has the same great personality as the Grand Vin, but is ready to drink earlier.

  Situated in the Haut-Médoc, the Château de Cantermerle vineyard covers 91 hectares of vines. The soils are silica-gravel, which are a result of a thousand-year-old erosion of the Pyrenees by the River Garonne and form one of the fundamental elements of this quality vineyard. The soils are poor in nutrients, so the vines ‘struggle’, resulting in grapes with a high concentration of flavour. In addition, the small pebbles in the soil provide a filter and contribute to the grape’s maturity by reflecting the sun’s rays during the day and retaining the heat during the cooler nights. The vines have an average age of 30 years.
