  2014 Schist Syrah ‘Roundstone’, Mullineux

  £7500

  Grapes for our 2014 Schist Syrah were from a single parcel of sustainably farmed 18 years old vines planted in the stony Shale and Schist soils of our farm on the Kasteelberg. This parcel of Syrah gives the best expression of the Kasteelberg’s terroir – density and structure.  This is the most structured Syrah in our Single Terroir range. On the nose, there are notes of black pepper, black fruit and spices. The palate is full-bodied with a meaty, savoury character, silky tannins giving structure and a balancing natural acidity. The finish is fresh, long and supple. Ageing potential 10 – 15 years.

  Limited production of 2724 bottles & 150 magnums.

  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.
