Chorey-les-Beaune, Domaine Tollot-Beaut
£36.95
Domaine Tollot-Beaut has sat modestly in the centre of Chorey-lès-Beaune since it was set up by the Tollot family in the 1930s. Nathalie Tollot, who runs the property with her uncles and cousins, is a most welcoming of hosts and her wines are amongst the most consistent in Burgundy. There are 28 hectares in parcels throughout Chorey, Savigny, Aloxe, Beaune and then Corton-Bressandes, Corton and Corton-Charlemagne. The soils have a slightly higher clay content generally than the rest of the Côte d’Or, and the vines are pretty old with deep roots, resulting in wines with an attractive breadth of flavour and lots of depth. They also age well developing very rewarding dried fruit and spice notes within a few years.
This is really good Red Burgundy! Without breaking the bank, it delivers quality and real depth of flavour. Some richness and fleshy wild strawberry lead to a long, satisfying finish.
Perfect with roast game birds or pink roast lamb with redcurrant.

Valpolicella, Alpha-Zeta
Alpha Zeta was started in 1999 to produce a range of modern, fruit-driven wines from the hills outside Verona. Leading New Zealand winemaker Matt Thomson works with growers (rather than buy bulk wine, which is standard among most wines from Verona at this price) to obtain ripe grapes (by reducing yields and picking later) and then, using Matt’s expertise, preserve these flavours in the finished wines. This has resulted in wines that offer great value, quality, balance and typicity.
The Valpolicella has bright, black cherry fruit and velvety tannins; a delicious wine that is perfect with pizza and light pasta dishes.

Lion’s Tooth Shiraz/Riesling, Dandelion Vineyards
Dandelion Vineyards is the venture of self-titled ‘typist’ Zar Brooks and his winemaking wife Elena, with wines made from the Barossa and Eden Valleys, Fleurieu, the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale.
Nick Stock, one of Australia’s leading journalists, has described Dandelion as follows: “Brooks has teamed up with his winemaking wife Elena, a woman whose talents are outweighed only by her tolerance, in an exciting new venture called Dandelion Vineyards. The approach is remarkably simple and sees Elena making wine from a suite of beautiful old vineyards across that blessed curve that runs from the Barossa, up through the Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills and down into McLaren Vale.”
From this vineyard, Elena co-ferments an almost forgotten but timeless blend of Shiraz and Riesling to enhance the wine's perfume and palate.This has always been one of our most popular wines, year after year it delivers amazing value for money. Rich and intense, it is impressive without being too much. There is balance which makes it very, very drinkable.
