  2019 Bandol Rouge, Domaine de Terrebrune

  £4975

  The 2019 Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol Rouge is a distinguished expression of Provence’s Bandol appellation, crafted by the Delille family, who have been stewards of this estate since 1963. Situated in Ollioules, just east of Bandol, the estate benefits from a unique terroir overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, where the combination of sea breezes and Triassic era soils imparts a distinctive character to the wines. Under the guidance of Reynald Delille, the estate has embraced organic farming practices, emphasising a philosophy of “Philosophy, Rigour, and Respect” in their winemaking approach.

  In its youth, the 2019 Bandol Rouge exhibits a deep, opulent bouquet dominated by black fruits and liquorice, complemented by notes of spices and garrigue. On the palate, it presents a powerful yet harmonious profile, with chewy tannins providing structure to the ripe fruit flavours. The wine’s complexity and balance suggest significant ageing potential, with a recommended drinking window extending through 2034.

  The 2019 Rouge comes from a 30-hectare vineyard on the terraced slopes of the Gros Cerveau mountain. The soils are composed of limestone pebbles in brown clay, a composition that inspired the estate’s name, “Terrebrune.” This Triassic-era soil structure, combined with the cooling influence of the nearby Mediterranean, allows for slow grape ripening, preserving acidity and enhancing the mineral complexity of the wines.

  2017 Brio de Cantenac Brown, Château Cantenac Brown

  £4995

  This superlative 2nd wine of Château Cantenac-Brown is a rare beast indeed – with only 2500 cases made each year!  Aromas of pencil-lead and cedar. Smooth and silky with firm tannins and soft, cassis flavours.  A subtle, well made and altogether a rather morish glass of wine.

  This delightful vintage can be drunk now but will keep well for a few years more.

  2017 La Reserve De Leoville Barton, St. Julien

  £4995

  The second wine of Leoville Barton, this traditionally styled Bordeaux has an expressive nose of forest berries with hints of cedar, coffee, and a touch of vanilla spice. Elegant and refined, with a long finish.

  Despite initially challenging weather, the 2018 Bordeaux vintage was excellent. The winter was unusually wet and remained so throughout spring. Hail also struck some vineyards during this period. However, conditions eased, allowing for a successful flowering followed by a particularly hot, dry summer with surprisingly cool nights, from June through to September. September brought welcome rains, reviving the vines. Harvest took place under ideal conditions, producing small, thick-skinned and highly concentrated berries, resulting in rich wines, with balancing acidity and a fresh, fruity appeal.

  Valli Vineyards, established in 1998 by pioneering winemaker Grant Taylor, is renowned for crafting single-vineyard wines that express the unique terroirs of Central Otago.

  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.

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.

  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.

  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.

  Ten Minutes By Tractor

  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.
