  2016 Amarone della Valpolicella, Roccolo Grassi

  £8500

  A rich and opulent wine, showing intense aromas of ripe dark berried fruits with a hint of bitter almond. Beautifully concentrated deep fruits are layered with nuances of elegant oak and savoury notes, through to a smooth palate, with supple tannins and a fine, lingering finish.

  Roccolo Grassi’s Amarone della Valpolicella is produced from a four-hectare, southeast facing vineyard in the heart of the DOCG, from vines with an average age of 40 years. The vines are grown at 200 to 250 metres above sea level in volcanic-basaltic soils. The vines are trained on a pergola system, at a density of 3,000 vines per hectare and yield 1.5 to 2.0 kilograms per vine. The grapes are manually harvested at the end of September into trays to preserve the quality of the fruit.

  2020 Brunello di Montalcino, Sesti

  £8900

  Crafted in the historic heart of Tuscany, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino from Sesti is a powerful yet refined expression of place, tradition, and visionary winemaking. The Sesti estate lies within the ancient walls of Castello di Argiano, a 13th-century fortress perched above the Orcia River, once part of a strategic chain of sight-and-defense castles. This remarkable setting mirrors the timeless character of the wines it produces.

  Founded by Giugi Sesti, a Venetian-born astronomer and opera impresario, the estate has long embraced a philosophy rooted in natural rhythm and artistic expression. Today, under the expert guidance of his daughter Elisa Sesti, the winery continues to produce wines of exceptional purity and poise, firmly placing Sesti among the most respected names in Montalcino.

  The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is captivating from the first pour – rich, full-bodied, and exquisitely balanced. The nose reveals layers of blackberry, wild herbs, and spice, wrapped in a savoury, earthy complexity that speaks of its noble terroir. On the palate, it is structured and powerful, yet retains an elegant flow, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity driving a long, resonant finish.

  A Brunello of remarkable depth and beauty, this vintage is already jaw-droppingly delicious, but promises even greater rewards with time.

  2015 Martelo Reserva Rioja, Torre de Oña, MAGNUM

  £8900

  The 2015 Finca Martelo Reserva is a juicy wine, thrilling the mouth with plentiful red and black fruit. A wise and careful ageing process in wood is appreciated in its seductive and well-balanced character and fresh sensations. It makes no attempt to hide the power of its modern profile but the character of a traditional wine and other more evolved touches are never far away. A top-quality Reserva wine produced by a winery steeped in expertise creating classic Rioja wines.

  Head winemaker Julio Saenz refers to it as “our little Burgundy” because of how closely it represents this unique location. In fact, the wine itself is a field blend, 95% Tempranillo with 5% other varieties including Mazuelo, Garnacha, and even Viura. The chalk soils and 80-year-old vines at Torre de Oña produce a fuller, riper style of Rioja, while the high altitude and Atlantic influence in Rioja Alavesa keeps the wine fresh and elegant. This style is complemented by the use of 20% French oak and shorter maturation, alongside La Rioja Alta’s ultra-traditional methods such as racking by hand.

  2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Inglenook

  £8950

  Founded in 1879, Inglenook is one of Napa Valley’s most historic and revered estates. Under the visionary stewardship of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975, the estate has been meticulously restored to its former glory, with a focus on producing world-class, organically farmed wines from its Rutherford vineyards.

  The 2016 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in balance and varietal purity. Aromatically precise, it opens with vibrant notes of ripe black cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle hints of garrigue, lavender, thyme, and bay leaf that add depth and intrigue. The palate is finely tuned and seamless, with polished tannins and a supple texture that carries layers of dark fruit, cassis bud, and a whisper of savoury herbs. Oak is impeccably integrated, supporting the wine’s structure without overwhelming its elegance. The finish is long, fragrant, and composed, a hallmark of both the vintage and the estate’s restrained, classical approach. This is a Cabernet of remarkable finesse and ageing potential, offering a refined expression of Inglenook’s historic vineyards.

  2004 Gregor Shiraz, Hobbs

  £9500

  This outstanding aged Shiraz from Hobbs is made using the Appassimento style and matured for approximately 24 months in French oak.

  2014 Côte-Rôtie, Maison Rouge, Georges Vernay

  £11000

  Although Domaine Georges Vernay has built its reputation around its excellent Condrieu white wines, its reds should not be neglected, especially ones from the Côte-Rôtie. From a 5 ha plot of vines, Vernay’s Côte-Rôtie is amongst the most exceptional wines from the same appellation. Thanks to a perfectly mastered elegant wine style, Christine Vernay successfully expresses the elegance and depth of syrah; never over maturing or over ageing.

  The name of the wine refers to a small red house situated at the foot of this impressively steep “lieu dit” or registered plot of ‘Maison Rouge’. The vineyards are made up of two hectares of sandy, granite terraces located in the southern part of the appellation. Trained according to the Guyot simple method, the vines have an average age of 50 years and they have been planted to a density of 10,000 vines per hectare.

  2019 Pinot Noir ‘Terra de Promissio’, Senses

  £11000

  A rich, structured Pinot Noir with complex aromas of smoky red and black fruits, roasted herbs, conifer forest and exotic spice through to a palate of impeccable balance.

  2019 stands out as one of the more exceptional vintages in recent memory. Cooler temperatures and stable weather throughout the growing season allowed for slow maturation of flavours without any heat events spiking sugar accumulation in the berries. Although 2019 also saw the devastating Kincade fire in Sonoma County, the fruit was harvested by then, so the smoke did not affect the grapes.

  The grapes come from Charles and Diana Karren’s vineyard, a couple who are incredibly passionate about growing grapes. The single vineyard ‘Terra de Promissio’ translates as ‘the Land of Promise’ and it has an ideal terroir for growing Pinot Noir. Located in the Petaluma Gap subregion, the combination of the sandy loam and Adobe clay soils, the south-westerly sun exposure, hill elevation, vine density of 5×7’ spacing and the wind and fog of the Petaluma Gap, allows the grapes to have an extended hang time.

  The Explore 4 ‘Pinot Noir’

  £11185

  Each Explore 4 case tackles a new theme: This one is a selection of Pinot Noirs that won’t break the bank.

  Everyone loves Pinot Noir: It’s aromatic, supple, brightly fruited, and versatile. But, most of the time, it is also expensive. Here are some Pinot Noir bargains that are firm favourites with us because of their diversity and drinkability.

  Pinot noir is widely planted and appears in nearly all winegrowing regions of the world, and given the grape varieties’ preference for cooler climates and poorer soils, we leaned toward lesser-known regions in both Hemispheres with those characteristics.

  Here’s what’s in the case:

  2020 Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir, Larry Cherubino, Great Southern, Western Australia

  This gorgeous Pinot Noir from Larry Cherubino is made with fruit from the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The nose shows graphite and minerals, juicy black cherries with a hint of spicy oak plays a supporting role. The palate is softly textured, fresh and vibrant, the flavours of black cherry and earthy beetroot carried along by a fine acid finish.

  2017 Pinot Noir ‘Eggo Filoso’, Zorzal, Gualtallary, Uco Valley, Argentina

  Zorzal is an Argentinian boutique winery that is located at the highest point of the Uco Valley. Hailed as one of the most exclusive and well-regarded areas for viticulture in Argentina, the terroir is revealed in the Zorzal wines through a respectful, non-invasive winemaking process that puts austerity before exuberance and fruit before wood.

  2018 South Coast Pinot Noir, Lismore, Greyton, Western Cape, South Africa

  Californian Samantha O’Keefe has found paradise and the perfect terroir. Tucked into the foothills of a dramatic mountain range at the bottom of Africa, Lismore Estate Vineyards was born alongside her nascent family. A passionate vision, combined with vines planted at 300 metres, which are chilled by winter snow and nourished by the African summer sun, produces classic, cool climate wines which are rich, complex and lovingly hand-crafted. This 2018 is an elegant Pinot Noir delivering a complex bouquet of crushed rose petals, wild jasmine and fresh French herbs. The palate shows beautiful purity with layered red fruits, cranberry, raspberry, silky tannins and a long, savoury finish.

  2018 Givry 1er Cru Rouge L’Empreinte, Domaine Joblot, Burgundy, France

  One of the greatest producers in Southern Burgundy, the Joblot family has been producing fine wines for over four generations. These sought after wines have limited availability. L’Empreinte means ‘Footprint’ in French and this cuvée is the result of the best parcels of Domaine Joblot’s four Givry 1er Cru vineyards: Clos Maroles, Clos Du Cellier Aux Moines , Bois Chevaux and clos de la Servoisine.
