  2020 Old Vine Savatiano “Orivatis Wild”, Akriotou

  £1895

  A wildly expressive and complex wine, full of lemon, honeysuckle, peach, melon and buttery aromas. Textured and creamy, with concentrated layers of citrus fruit, wet stone, nuances of bread and a delicious honey note through to a long, intense finish.

  The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard called ‘Gouriona’, located in Plataea, a small village at the foot of the Kitheronas Mountain, in Central Greece. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 250 to 320 metres elevation and during the autumn and winter months cool air masses blow down from the mountains, carrying dew which refreshes the vineyard with crucial humidity. Cold winters, hot summers and long, dry autumns combine with long periods of sunshine to enable the grapes to reach excellent maturity and complexity. The Savatiano variety is suited to the hot, dry climate as it has excellent drought resistant properties. The grapes for this wine come from old vines of 60 to 65 years.

  2023 ‘The Raptor’ Chardonnay, Lake Chalice

  £1950

  A full-bodied Chardonnay with bold flinty notes surrounded by peach undertones. The creamy palate has a wonderful balancing freshness and reveals layers of flint, lemon blossom and biscuity nuances complemented by subtle oak spice.

  The grapes are sourced exclusively from mature vines within a single hectare vineyard block called the Reed Vineyard. This beautiful vineyard is situated on an old riverbed, where the shallow, loamy Renwick soils are derived from stony alluvium and offer the wine excellent drainage. The vines are a mixture of Burgundian Chardonnay clones; predominantly they are clone 95, with a proportion of Mendoza clones and some clone 15. The fruit from this block has become renowned for delivering crisp, flinty flavours.

  The grapes were carefully selected and vinified with 100% wild yeasts. Some were vinified as whole bunches, to add complexity. Fermentation took place in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques, lasting 10 months where malolactic fermentation took place imparting a creamy texture.

  2022 Bacchus Single Estate, New Hall Wine Estate

  £1950

  A rich and flavoursome quintessentially English Bacchus, displaying complex and aromatic notes of grapefruit, pear, peach, lime layered with herbaceous overtones of nettle and cut grass.

  The Bacchus vines were planted between 1976 and 2018, on well-sheltered, southern facing slopes of the Crouch Valley. The big skies, low rainfall, coastal breezes and the influence of the Blackwater and Crouch Rivers come together to offer ideal climatic conditions. The area is protected from frosts which is beneficial in the capricious English climate. The vineyard is made up of London clay soils, from the Tertiary age, with chalk concealed below the clay deposits. The vines thrive in these warm soils; the clay offers high retention of nitrogen and the nutrient uptake from the clay soils is evident. The soils also provide good balance to the vigour of the vines. Over the years, this site has proven itself to be an ideal place for the growing of vines in England, producing above average crops of high quality grapes.

  2023 Petritis, Kyperounda Winery

  £1995

  This wonderful 2019 Petritis from Kyperounda Winery in Cyprus is made from the Xynisteri grape variety, pronounced (Sin-ees-ter-ee), which is a native grape to the island.  These indigenous grapes are grown on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains, in some of the highest vineyards in Europe. The plots sit on rocky terraces, where the soils are made up of sandy clay. Due to the altitude of the vineyards, Kyperounda invariably harvests approximately one month later than vineyards at half their elevation and the long hang time results in concentrated flavours in the fruit, while preserving refreshing acidity.

  In the glass, it has delicious aromas of citrus fruits, candied lime, lychee and a touch of spice and vanilla. It is a medium-bodied yet refreshing wine with a long, persistent finish. 20% of the wine was matured in new oak barrels for two months which has added a subtle oak complexity to the wine.  This will be a great match with white fish, lean meat and canapes/tapas.

  Simpsons’ Wine Estate creates fine English wines, which reflect the exquisite characteristics of their iconic, chalk terroir in the North Downs of Kent.

  £2495 Original price was: £2495.£1995Current price is: £1995. 20% saving

  As the third generation of the Barry winemaking family, brothers Sam & Tom Barry now hold the keys to this boutique winery. Riesling is the Clare Valley’s signature variety and this is the 10th vintage from clos Clare’s Riesling patch, adjoining the historic ‘Florita’ vineyard in Watervale.

  It is a hand-crafted wine showing poise, elegance and character. Delicate aromas of lemons and limes, carry through onto the palate. The palate shows a great balance between citrus fruit and the hallmark acidity of the 2019 vintage and leads to a delicious and mouthwatering finish.

Situated in the southwest corner of the former La Florita vineyard, the clos Clare vineyard comprises two hectares. The vines are dry-grown, which is facilitated by the clay content of the soil, as it helps to retain the moisture to nourish the vine. The canopy management techniques used in the vineyard differ according to the orientation of the vine: the north-facing vines are exposed to the sun, while the south-facing vines are protected by the canopy vegetation.

  2020 Chardonnay, Mulderbosch

  £1995

  Inviting aromas of white chocolate and toffee lead to notes of sweet vanilla fudge and sandalwood. Fresh and zesty on the palate, with pineapple sweetness and citrus zest enveloped by melt in the mouth viscosity and real depth of flavour through to a very long finish.

  The Chardonnay grapes come from the estate vineyard in Stellenbosch.

The soil is made up of decomposed sandstone with some granitic conglomerate stones, known as ‘Koffieklip’. This iron-ferrite rich soil produces wines with more minerality and intensity.
