Gimblett Gravels Syrah, Trinity Hill, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand – Organic
£24.50
This is a great example of Syrah from the famed Gimblett Gravels area of Hawkes Bay. The soil here is very poor (gravelly…duh) meaning the vines’ roots have to dig down deep to get their nutrients, leading to extra complexity (allegedly..). Anyway, Trinity Hill are certainly one of the best producers here and this wine is stunning; real depth and richness to the dark brambly fruit and a twist of pepper. Long and satisfying. A great match for steaks and roast meats.

Highmoor whole cheese
A semi-soft, washed rind cheese with brothy and bacony notes from the rind made at the Nettlebed Creamery near Henley by Rose Grimmond. Rose's family are dairy farmers and the family farm, located 1 mile down the road, provides all the beautiful organic cows' milk used to make the Nettledbed cheeses. Shape, taste and texture all make Highmoor an interesting addition to any cheese board and given the closeness of the cow to creamery to No2 this is also a great cheese to eat to reduce your food miles and support two local businesses.

Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Aragonez plus others.. The Alentejo region of Portugal (North of the Algarve), produces some of the county's best value wines.

Perfect for BBQ's and a really versatile wine to have on hand, complementing pizza, meaty pasta, pork chops...
