SKU: 3121
Availability: InStock

£12.95

Monbazillac has a long history (known as early as the 14th century) and is one of the world’s great sweet wines; similar in style to Sauternes but usually offering better value for money. Here, Christian Roche is one of the best winemakers and his attention to detail and organic practices shine through in the wines.
Light and juicy, with the sweetness balanced by good acidity, this is a great introduction to dessert wines; perfect as an all-rounder with a cheese board or with fruit desserts.

Barbaresco, ‘Rabaja’, Bruno Rocca, Piemonte, Italy – organic

Red Wine

£82.00

Starting in 1978, Bruno Rocca has risen through the ranks to be considered one of the very best producers in Piemonte. He makes wine in a modern, rich style but with the balance and harmony that always comes with great winemaking. The hill, or Cru, of Rabaja is one of the most highly prized sites in Barabresco, producing wines of amazing complexity and ageing potential. A truly great wine that combines the beautiful perfume of the best Nebbiolo with the richness and power that comes from this special place. Drinking well now, this will develop complexity over the next 20 years. Great with strong, hard cheese, as well as pasta and meat dishes (especially with mushrooms or a hint of truffle!).

Hilltop Shiraz, Clonakilla

Australia, Red Wine

£31.00

Clonakilla are one of Australia’s most iconic Shiraz producers. Their flagship Shiraz/Viognier is amongst the countries best (available on request), however, this wine gives you a real insight into the genius of winemaker Tim Kirk at a fraction of the price. In fact, for drinking now, this wine is more approachable and rewarding than its big brother. Not as big and jammy as Barossa Shiraz, this has a slightly more Rhône-y edge to it, making it much more food friendly in my book. Still juicy and full of delicious dark, spicy fruit but with balance and restraint.

Musella Valpolicella Ripasso

Italy, Red Wine

£27.95

Musella make some of the most elegant wines in the Valpolicella region; where most wineries are looking for power and intensity in their Ripasso and Amarone, Maddalena Pasqua makes wines of elegance and focus. Her love of nature and respect for the land have led her to become one of the leading proponents of Biodynamic winemaking in Italy. This Ripasso certainly has depth of flavour and richness but the overriding effect is one of drinkability. And that is a good, I’m sure you’ll agree. It’s not a showing off wine but a really pleasurable drinking wine. Perfect with lasagne and other meaty pasta dishes as well as grilled meats.

Chenin Blanc, Botanica

South Africa, White Wine

£24.95

This is one of South Africa’s best white wines! Awarded the maximum 5 stars in the influential Platter Guide for seven vintages. The dry-farmed grapes for this wine come from a vineyard in the Citrusdal Mountain region. It is fermented and aged partially in old oak barrels and has the perfect balance between richness and freshness that only great Chenin Blanc seems to achieve. Amazingly complex and will continue to develop for many years to come. Outstanding.
