  2022 Gibbston Pinot Noir, Valli

  £4995

  Valli Vineyards, founded in 1998 by renowned winemaker Grant Taylor, is dedicated to expressing the unique terroirs of Central Otago through single-vineyard winemaking. Grant is a four-time winner of the prestigious International Winemaker of the Year award at the IWC in London.  He has been instrumental in shaping Central Otago’s global Pinot Noir reputation over the last 4 decades.  Since 2015, winemaker Jen Parr has collaborated with Taylor, bringing a shared commitment to producing wines that embody honesty, integrity, and a true sense of place.

  The Gibbston vineyard, Valli’s original site, is located in the coolest and highest sub-region of Central Otago, known for producing wines of elegance, vibrancy, and aromatic complexity. Under the guidance of Taylor and winemaker Jen Parr (NZ Winemaker of the Year 2020), Valli continues to craft wines that embody purity, precision, and place.

  In the glass, the 2022 Valli Gibbston Pinot Noir is a captivating expression of this alpine sub-region. Aromatically intricate, it opens with an evocative mix of wild thyme, rosemary, fennel, and earthy mushroom, harmoniously intertwined with bright notes of dark cherry, ripe strawberry, and dried rose petals. On the palate, the wine is refined and focused, offering a compact yet layered structure that flows gracefully, akin to a mountain river in spring. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide drive and tension, while the hallmark Gibbston perfume lingers beautifully on the finish. Elegant yet concentrated, this Pinot Noir is both immediately expressive and built to age gracefully over the next two decades.

  2020 Pinot Noir, Sanford

  £5150

  This Pinot Noir is dark ruby in colour and is very spice-driven on the nose with fresh cherry, wild strawberry, spice cake that are complemented by white pepper and rose. The palate delivers spice and savoury, dark fruits, espresso, and leather with balanced acid and suave tannin structure, which carries the lovely finish. The wine was aged in French Oak barrels (25% new oak) for 11 months where it gained complexity and elegance.

  The grapes come exclusively from the two estate vineyards in the cool-climate area of Sta. Rita Hills AVA: the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard and the La Rinconada Vineyard. The unusual east-west orientation of the nearby Santa Ynez Mountains allows the cooling maritime breezes from the Pacific Ocean- just seven miles away- to flow over the vineyards, bringing with them cooling morning fog. Afternoon breezes dry out any residual moisture and reduce disease pressure. Temperatures rarely exceed 27°C, which suits the delicate Pinot Noir vines. The vineyard is split into 52 blocks and each block has an individual soil composition. Broadly, the marine-based soil in the ‘Sanford & Benedict Vineyard’ is a mixture of clay, loam, fractured shale and chert (a rocky soil), which forces the vine’s roots to dig deep for nutrients and hydration. The result is naturally low yields of small-berried, concentrated fruit delivering excellent minerality and acidity. The ‘La Rinconada Vineyard’ is made up of sandy, gravelly soil which imparts precise minerality to the wine. There are 33 different Pinot Noir clones planted across the vineyard and 40% of the vines are from the original 1972 ungrafted plantings

  2018 Pinot Noir ‘G.P.S Series’, Kershaw

  £5200

  Captivating floral attributes underscored by purity, focus and freshness framed by fine powder tannins yet cushioned by a succulent texture and flavours of black cherry, pomegranate, rose petal and raspberry.  Only 1708 bottles were produced.

  The G.P.S. (Grape Positioning System) series is made from exciting small parcels of fruit selected from carefully chosen vineyards outside the Elgin Valley. This Pinot Noir comes from two small parcels grown in a protected lee of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, a cool climate area renowned for Pinot Noir. Bordered by the Babylonstoren Mountains to the north and the Kleinrivier Mountains to the south, clouds are trapped by the surrounding mountains, retaining cool air and moisture into the valley. The area is also influenced by the Antarctic Benguela current from the Atlantic Ocean, which brings cooling breezes, resulting in cool average summer temperatures. The long hang time builds complex characters with balancing acidity.

  From the Winemaker: During the year, I have the opportunity to visit a number of areas outside of Elgin. Occasionally, I come across something so fascinating it deserves a closer look. In 2018, I discovered two small parcels of Pinot Noir grapes grown on Bokkeveld Shale in a protected lee of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley – an area renowned for Pinot Noir. It made sense to grasp the opportunity with both hands and the GPS Series is a testament to those special places.

  2018 Pinot Noir ‘Clonal Selection’, Kershaw

  £5200

  A world-class Pinot Noir from Richard Kershaw M.W and easily one of South Africa’s best.  This Pinot Noir is characterised by its captivating floral attributes underscored by purity, focus and freshness framed by fine powder tannins yet cushioned by a succulent texture and flavours of black cherry, pomegranate, rose petal and raspberry. Only 8056 bottles & 33 Magnums produced.

  The grapes come from 11 tiny vineyard parcels in several locations in the Elgin Valley. Elgin is the coolest wine region in South Africa and is situated on an inland, hexagonal-shaped plateau, at an altitude of 300 metres. The region is surrounded by mountains and lies just over six miles from the Atlantic Ocean, which brings occasional sea-borne mists. February is the hottest month of the year, with daytime temperatures peaking at 23°C and night-time temperatures dipping to 14°C. The benefit of this cooler climate is that the grape cluster stays connected to its roots for longer, so it develops complex characteristics and achieves physiological ripeness more gradually, resulting in lower sugar levels and consequently lower alcohol levels.

  2020 Aloxe-Corton Vielles Vignes, Domaine Edmond Cornu

  £5200

  The 2020 Aloxe-Corton Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Edmond Cornu & Fils is a bold and expressive Pinot Noir that captures the essence of Burgundy’s northern Côte de Beaune. Nestled in the village of Ladoix-Serrigny, Domaine Edmond Cornu & Fils is a family-run estate with deep roots in the region, known for producing traditionally styled, terroir-driven wines across several revered appellations.

  In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby hue and a brooding aromatic profile of ripe black cherry, crushed blackberry, and dried violet, underpinned by earthy undertones of forest floor, leather, and a touch of roasted spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with dense dark fruit, firm but well-integrated tannins, and a rustic minerality that speaks to its silex and marl-rich soils. A tangy edge and vibrant acidity provide lift and balance, leading to a long, savoury finish.

  This Aloxe-Corton will pair beautifully with game, roasted meats, and mature cheeses, and it promises excellent ageing potential for those patient enough to cellar it.

  2016 Abednego GSM, Grant Burge

  £5450

  The Abednego completes the Icon trio from Grant Burge Wines, sitting alongside the highly awarded Meshach and Shadrach which are Grant’s flagship Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is 100% Barossa using fruit sourced from Grant’s own vineyards with an average age of 110 years. The old vines deliver fruit with incredible concentration and depth giving the resultant wine the ability to develop over many years. The iconic 2016 Abednego is a richly flavoured and elegantly structured wine with a beautifully balanced palate, complemented by flavours of plums, spice and liquorice with hints of vanilla. The dense, mouth-filling mid-palate and long, textural finish combine to create a wine that is rich and elegant.   Drink now to 2035.

  The origin of the name of this wine comes from the fact that Abednego in Hebrew means the ‘Servant of Nego’, the Babylonian god of wisdom. Abednego, with Shadrach and Meshach, were cast into the fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar in 600BC.  Grant Burge named his flagship and icon Shiraz Meshach (after his great grandfather Meshach Burge 1843-1942), and the icon Cabernet Sauvignon Shadrach (inspired by the story). This wine is Abednego to completer the trio with a trio of the Barossa’s finest grape varieties.

  2017 RC Reserve Syrah, Inglenook

  £5495

  Inglenook, one of Napa Valley’s most storied estates, has long been synonymous with world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Yet it is also home to an inspired, small-production Syrah: the RC Reserve. Named for Roman Coppola, Syrah enthusiast and son of proprietor Francis Ford Coppola, this wine represents a creative collaboration between Roman and the Inglenook winemaking team. The goal was to craft a Syrah that fuses the elegance and savoury complexity of the Northern Rhône with the opulence and bold fruit character of the New World. Grown in the estate’s eastern blocks where well-drained alluvial soils and Rutherford’s temperate climate converge, RC Reserve Syrah showcases a unique facet of Inglenook’s diverse terroir, offering a bold yet nuanced expression of the variety.

  The 2017 RC Reserve Syrah is a visually striking wine, its deep ruby hue immediately hinting at the richness within. On the nose, it reveals a compelling bouquet of ripe blueberry, black liquorice, and black olive, underscored by evocative notes of wild herbs, thyme, rosemary, and lavender that evoke the garrigue of the Rhône Valley. The palate is generous and concentrated, delivering dense layers of dark fruit and spice with impressive depth and structure. Silky yet powerful, the wine maintains a seamless flow across the palate, finishing with warmth, persistence, and a touch of savoury complexity. A harmonious blend of finesse and force, this Syrah captures both place and intent, resonating with collectors and Rhône-style lovers alike.

  2021 McCutcheon Pinot Noir, Ten Minutes By Tractor

  £6995 Original price was: £6995.£5495Current price is: £5495. 21% saving

  Ten Minutes by Tractor needs little introduction, nor does the man in charge, Martin Spedding. A gently-spoken man with a background in finance and IT, in 2002, he finally acknowledged the fact that his true passion lay in wine. Despite his origins in New South Wales, he simply couldn’t get enough of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and would travel down to Victoria to immerse himself in Australia’s heartland of these noble varieties. In 2003, he visited one of his favourite small wineries on Mornington Peninsula and was delighted to discover that it was for sale. Without a moment’s hesitation, he snapped it up, and so began Martin’s journey with Ten Minutes by Tractor.

  The 2021 McCutcheon Pinot Noir is a captivating expression of the Mornington Peninsula’s cool-climate terroir. On the nose, it unveils a symphony of rose petals, sweet rhubarb, spiced sumac, bramble, and autumnal characters. The palate is equally alluring, with dried red berries, plum, and strawberry gliding across, complemented by blood orange and plum pudding notes. A delicate red wine jus leads into a savoury edge of leather, cinnamon spice, and finely detailed tannins, culminating in a complex and finely structured finish.

  2011 Meres Pinot Noir, Kooyong

  £5500

  The vineyard name originates from the surrounding water bodies – the dams which flank the block on all sides.

  Its greater exposure to the north, west and east limits the vigour of the vines, while the sandier soil reduces water stress compared to Ferrous and Haven. These factors combine to make the wine silken, perfumed and approachable when young, as well as having flavour concentration and ageing potential.   This 2011 is full of life with red cherry, redcurrant, alluring rose petal and savoury notes dominating the nose and palate.  The tannins have softened over the years but are fine and silky.

  2009 Haven Pinot Noir, Kooyong

  £5500

  Kooyong’s Haven Pinot Noir is a great Pinot Noir and exceptional with a few years of age

  Almost indistinguishable from a Premier Cru Vosne Romanée, this gradually uncurls with swirling to reveal focused spicy, smokey, gamey aromas, permeate in the mouth with hints of anise and heather over succulent black cherry fruit. Well-structured, with richness and a warm, enveloping texture.

  Planted exclusively to Pinot Noir, the Haven Vineyard is the most sheltered site, being bordered by trees on both the North and South, hence the vineyard name.  The soil is loam over clay, with less sand than Meres and fewer sandstone pebbles than Ferrous.

  2019 Amarone DOCG Black Label ‘Punta 470’, Ca’Rugate

  £5500

  An intensely flavoured but elegant Amarone, with concentrated flavours of ripe blueberries, blackberries and cherries, enhanced by spicy oak. The palate is rich, full bodied and complex, with beautiful balance and a long, elegant finish.

  Punta 470 takes its name from the altitude of Ca’Rugate’s six hectare estate vineyard in the hills around Montecchia di Crosara, where the grapes are grown at 470 metres above sea-level. This elevation allows the grapes to retain balancing acidity to the concentrated fruits and enables Ca’ Rugate to produce a wine which is elegant and food-friendly.

  2020 Rod and Spur Shiraz-Cabernet, Rockford

  £5500

  This incredible blend of Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon is a uniquely Australian blend that pays homage to the great Aussie wines of yesteryear.    With plenty of sweet spice and brambly black fruit comes a concentrated blackcurrant and vanilla aroma, followed by a rich, full-bodied palate. The flavour is full of crunchy black fruit with soft tannins, refreshing acidity and subtle vanilla sweetness.

  The name Rod & Spur acknowledges the contribution of Rockford’s growers who spend the cold Barossa winters hand-pruning their vines in the traditional rod and spur method. This wine is a return to the great Australian reds of the 1950s and 60’s, when Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon blends dominated the premium market. This very Australian wine is not common in any other region of the world.

  Like all Rockford reds, the grapes for this wine go through an 1880s Bagshaw de-stemmer, are open fermented and then gently basket pressed. All components are aged separately in a combination of seasoned American and French oak hogsheads and large oak casks for two years. This allows the tannins to soften and colours and flavours to consolidate, before being bottled under the highest quality cork.

  2021 Estate Zinfandel, Chateau Montelena

  £5500

  Chateau Montelena is one of Napa Valley’s most iconic estates, famously catapulted to international acclaim after its Chardonnay triumphed at the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Located at the base of Mount Saint Helena in Calistoga, the estate benefits from a unique combination of volcanic soils, cool mountain air, and a long growing season, which together contribute to wines of remarkable depth and finesse.

  The 2021 Estate Zinfandel from Chateau Montelena is a masterclass in balance, showcasing the winery’s signature restraint and the varietal’s expressive character. In the glass, the wine opens with an aromatic medley of ripe blackberries, raspberry compote, and wild plum, underscored by hints of cracked pepper, sweet tobacco, and baking spices. The palate is vibrant and layered, offering bursts of red currant and brambly fruit framed by silky tannins and a bright acidity that lends freshness and lift. Notes of cedar, cocoa, and earthy minerality emerge on the long, seamless finish, reflecting the complexity of Montelena’s Calistoga terroir.

  This is top-tier Zinfandel.
